B. (U) BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF MISSION REQUIREMENTS AND SYSTEM CAPABILITIES:
(U) The Technology Applications Program was established in 1986 to make BMD technology available to
federal agencies, state and local governments, and U.S. business and research interests. The objective
of this program is to develop and support the transfer of BMD-derived technology to Department of Defense
applications as well as to other federal, state, and local government agencies, federal laboratories,
universities, and the domestic private sector.
(U) This project is assigned to the Budget Activity and Program Element codes as identified in this
descriptive summary in accordance with existing Department of Defense policy. Further justification of
the Budget Activity code assigned to each Program Element is contained within the Brief Description of
Element section of each Program Element Summary.
C. (U) PROGRAM ACCOMPLISHMENT AND PLANS:
(U) FY 1993 Accomplishments:
o Continue to make BMD technology available to federal agencies, state and local governments, and U.S. business and research interests. Additional meetings with private and federal technology transfer specialists to review BMD technology for potential application in biomedical research; electronics, communications, and computer technology, power generation, storage, and transmission; and materials and industrial processes. The Joint BMD-Defense Technology Applications effort continue to be emphasized through the use of technology briefs to Army, Navy, and Air Force laboratories and research centers.
o ($960K) Database - Maintain up to date information on potential BMD programs that have commerial applications. This is a National Data Base on BMD programs accessed by 21,000 users.
o ($350K) Panel Reviews - Provide assistance to large medium and small businesses wishing to bring BMD supported technology to the commerical market.
o ($300K) Outreach - Publications, brochures, target articles for journals and news papers, quarterly newsletters, conference exhibits, ads and reports on BMDO technology, etc.
o ($270K) Newtworking - Federal Agencies and Laboratories, Professional Societies, Trade Associations, State, Federal, Local and Regional programs. Industry, Universities, and International BMD contractors and interested parties.
o ($359K) Demonstration Projects - Industry, State and local Governments, Universities and other
Federal agencies.
(U) FY 1994 Plans:
o Efforts will continue to emphasize the technology transfer programs begun in earlier years. BMD technology will continue to be reviewed for inclusion into the Technology Applications Information System computer database. Additional technology transfer initiatives will be undertaken as opportunities become available. Continue demonstration programs that will assist BMDO in expediting potential technology to the private sector. Develop close interaction working relationship with the National Technology Transfer Center so as to leverage their capabilities in the performance of our mission.
o ($1.200K) Database - Maintain up to date information on potential BMD programs that have commerial applications. This is a National Data Base on BMD programs accessed by 21,000 users.
o ($450K) Panel Reviews - Provide assistance to large medium and small businesses wishing to bring BMD supported technology to the commerical market.
o ($350K) Outreach - Publications, brochures, target articles for journals and news papers, quarterly newsletters, conference exhibits, ads and reports on BMDO technology, etc.
o ($350K) Networking - Federal Agencies and Laboratories, Professional Societies, Trade Associations, State, Federal, Local and Regional programs. Industry, Universities, and International BMD contractors and interested parties.
o ($512K) Demonstration Projects - Industry, State and local Governments, Universities and other
Federal agencies.
(U) FY 1995 Plans:
o Program will continue as mandated by law with minor changes to preceeding FY94 effort.
o ($1.200K) Database - Maintain up to date information on potential BMD programs that have commerial applications. This is a National Data Base on BMD programs accessed by 21,000 users.
