What Is CCAT

• A collaborative partnership of academic,
  industry, and government organizations funded by
  Congressional appropriations through the Office
  of Naval Research
• to.
• Discover and accelerate the commercialization of
  new technologies
• that.
• Provide innovative solutions for military and
  homeland security requirements
• for.
• A secure and safer America

5
Our Funding History

• CCAT first funded in 2000 by DARPA to conduct a
  proof of concept pilot demonstration with
  technologies designated by DARPA
• First Congressional funding of 5.2M awarded in
  FY2001 established CCAT San Diego and funded the
  first two years of program activity.
• FY02 funding of 4.4M supported the expansion of
  the program into CSUSB and continuation of the
  program through December 2003.
• FY03 funding of 6.0M and FY04 funding of 7.3M
  have been awarded to the CCAT program with FY05
  funding of 5.7M pending.
• CCAT has a request for FY06 funding.
• Note The above amounts are net of funds
  retained by DOD, ONR and SSC SD

Why CCAT

• Government spends billions on developing new
  technologies that never make it to the
  marketplace either government or commercial
• Merely funding new technology development is not
  enough e.g. SBIR Phase I and II have limited
  success and do not fund commercialization
• There is no government initiative or program that
  bridges the gap between technology development
  and commercialization
• Events like 9/11, the War on Terrorism, and
  military operations in forward areas such as
  Afghanistan and Iraq demand technology solutions
  NOW!
• The missing link has been to tie government
  expenditures for technology development to a
  process that reduces risk and facilitates the
  rapid transfer of advances into the marketplace

How We Do It

• Collaborate with Department of Defense and
  Homeland Security agencies to determine critical
  technology needs and requirements
• Translate these needs into topics featured in
  CCAT sponsored national solicitations inviting
  companies, universities, and government labs to
  submit proposals
• Quickly evaluate proposals using vast network of
  independent 3rd party experts from business,
  technology, VC/Angel investment communities
• Award the most promising technologies with funds
  for technology and/or product development and
  evaluation
• Provide entrepreneurial services to get the
  product into the marketplace as quickly and
  efficiently as possible

Success Stories
Real-time Image Enhancement
How it Works Pixon's technology more than doubles
the resolution of real-time video by adaptively
suppressing noise, correcting for blur, and
adjusting the dynamic range for the human eye.
Highlights / Impact Jan 2002, CCAT market study
predicts UAV and missile defense markets as most
attractive and proposed a focus on the SBIR
program funding for development. Spring 2002,
two SBIR/STTR Phase I contracts awarded with the
U.S. Army and both receive Phase II contracts in
2003. July 2002, Pixon receives 430K from
Aeromet for image post-processing for the Missile
Defense Agencys AIRS program. Sep 2002, Pixon
receives 400K for image processing in a Canadian
nuclear counterterrorism project. Feb 2003, CCAT
awards development funds for next generation
system. May 2003, Pixon receives SBIR Phase I
contract with the U.S. Army to build a
PixonVision ASIC for guided munitions. Aug 2004,
The U.S. Navy conducts successful test of the
PixonVision hardware. Initial contracts expected
to be in the range of 450K?1.35M for Scan
Eagle. The U.S. Army conducts testing with AAI
for application to the Shadow. Initial purchase
expected to be 100 units.

Success Stories
Intecon Binary Ionization Technology
How it Works Electro-mechanically activated
hydrogen peroxide radicals form a non-toxic mist
which decontaminates harmful organisms suspended
in air or attached to surfaces.
Highlights / Impact Dec 2001, CCAT awards a
market analysis and 75K grant to develop Binary
Ionization Technology (BIT) for biological agent
decontamination. Dec 2002, Intecon receives 5M
investment from Titan Corporation as part of
joint venture to commercialize products. Early
2003, Intecon receives a 725K contract from
DARPA to develop a decontamination product for
HVAC ducts to protect against chem/bio agents and
mold. Testing in Nevada test facility
planned. July 2004, Intecon receives orders for
both handheld and glove decontamination products.

Success Stories
Rapid Intelligent DC-DC Battery Charger
How it Works Charger is based on intelligent
software algorithm that queries the target
battery on a pulse by pulse basis regarding
parameters affecting the charge (chemical
composition (NiCD, NiMH, lead-acid, etc), its
current state of charge, temperature, etc.
Highlights / Impact Company signed 1.5M contract
with the ONR to add Li Ion battery charging and
diagnostic capabilities to their previously
developed intelligent battery charging
technology. Diagnostics will include automatic
capacity determination for rechargeable and
non-rechargeable batteries, end-of-life
prediction for a wide range of battery types, a
battery-to-battery conditioner / charger for
Special Ops forces, and charging of lithium
batteries. Will have significant impact on
meeting power consumption demands of the
warfighter.

In Summary A Technology Transformation Process

• Engineered from the ground up by a team of
  Southern California based technology
  entrepreneurs, university marketing executives,
  and university and government technology transfer
  experts.
• Takes traditional concept of technology transfer
  and expands into a fully integrated market driven
  approach that combines the capabilities of
  industry, academia, and government.
• Places extreme attention on the last mile of the
  commercialization process usually ignored by
  traditional tech transfer programs the gap
  between product development and introduction to
  the market place.
• CCAT is a proven model that reduces risk to
  government by focusing on market driven solutions
  and accelerates technology transition from the
  laboratory to the customer within 12 to 18 months.
