PURPOSE: Communicate the TACOM-ARDEC technology needs to industry and help focus their future IR&D efforts on DoD/Army/TACOM-ARDEC weapons system needs KEY CHARACTERISTICS:  One day review attended by key technology areas experts and scientists where the government and contractors review programs/technologies of mutual interests  Creates a process that encourages unique partnership with industries that has substantial interest in science and technologies that could bring maximum benefits to the DoD, Army and TACOM-ARDEC  Provides industries the information and feedback they need to effectively implement their IR&D programs POINT OF CONTACT: Mr. Harshad Shah DSN: Independent Research & Development (IR&D) Technical Inter Change (TIM) Reviews

Cooperative Research & Development Agreements (CRADA) TACOM-ARDEC is heavily involved with industry and university partners to advance technology that helps supports our mission. Over 70 Active CRADAs 59+ with industries 11 with universities and other non-profits 7 with NJ organizations Competitive Intelligence/ Analysis IR&D Exchanges Partnership Development (ex. CRADA) IR&D/ Tech Transfer Plan Goals & Objectives General Dynamics- GDLS/GDAS/GD-OTS/GD-AIS - FCS Armaments - Recoil Mitigation - Hydra 70 Fuzing - Compacted Propellants - Air Bursting Munitions - Modeling & Simulation

Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) Authority? –10 USC 3710a Who can enter one? –Federal Laboratory (e.g., ARDEC) What is a CRADA? –A contract between federal and non-federal parties –Not a procurement (FAR not applicable) –Government provides technical personnel, services, facilities, equipment and other resources, but NO FUNDS –Non-Federal party can provide any and all resources INCLUDING FUNDS –CRADA defines sharing intellectual property CRADA

Cooperative Research and Development Agreements (CRADAs) CRADAs are a great partnering tool for developing and marketing new concepts Warhead Concepts Defeats… helicopters, personnel, heavy armor, walls, BMPs, trucks, bunkers, buildings, artillery, UAVs.
