3 National Defense Center for Environmental Excellence 2005 Region 4 EPA/DoD/STATES/ ENVIRONMENTAL CONFERENCE – JUNE 2005 Executive Agent – OASA(I&E) Our Ultimate Goal: Technology Transfer KEY ARMY ESOH GOAL: DRIVE INNOVATION …The Army will match its capability to innovate and adapt with its need to do so in order to train, equip, sustain, and operate. This requires that we accelerate the transfer of technologies in a timely and cost effective manner to meet current and future requirements. The Army will seek solutions and tools that improve efficiency and reduce cost while protecting human health and the environment …US Army Strategy for the Environment, 2004.

4 National Defense Center for Environmental Excellence 2005 Region 4 EPA/DoD/STATES/ ENVIRONMENTAL CONFERENCE – JUNE 2005 Executive Agent – OASA(I&E) Why is Tech Transfer Important? n Drive Technology Implementation - Past R&D investments in DoD technologies have led to the development of a wide variety of new processes, systems, and materials. Yet only a small portion of these innovations successfully make it into operational use. n Demonstrate Responsible Use of Funding - Given tightening R&D budgets, pressure is increasing for clear/ direct returns on the R&D dollar to support our warfighters. CHALLENGE: It is now more important than ever to improve DoD’s track record for completing successful transfers and achieving sustainability, cost and readiness benefits.
