USJFCOM Unclassified 3 Scope of Technology Transfer + Needs JFCOM Industry; Academia; State & Local Gov’ts; Service, National, and Other Labs Partners Jt Context/CONOPs Refine Capabilities Systems Integration Test Interoperability Develop Prototypes Experimentation Evaluate Capabilities Doctrine & Training Provide Value Added Joint Operations Capability Transition Inform Partner & Spin-On Determine what the warfighter needs; inform our partners; infuse their technologies and capabilities; partner with them to make sure the capabilities meet the warfighter’s needs and transition capabilties to the warfighter

USJFCOM Unclassified 4 Responding to Joint Warfighter Needs Filter by JOE and USJFCOM Core Competencies and Mission Inputs COCOM IPLs and Engagement Lessons Learned Technology CHIO’s JCA Prioritized Gaps Prototypes, Concepts Guidance (e.g., from President, SecDef, Chairman, DPG, QDR, Transformation Road Map) Output JFCOM Org HiPri’s; Lines of Operation JFCOM High Priority Capability Areas Concise message to tell industry how they can help us!

USJFCOM Unclassified 5 Process for Engaging with Industry JFCOM Focused Forums, Industry Symposium, Web Page, Announcements, Presentations, Engagement Industry/Academia “These are the problems that require your help.” “We have a potential solution.” Send to Request Opportunity to Give Capability Presentation or Demo Abstract with Briefing or White Paper Tasker to Determine Interest “Who is interested in a capability presentation?” Hold capability presentation/demo; Discover promising capabilities Outcome? “What is the capability? Who might be interested?”

USJFCOM Unclassified 6 Cooperative Research and Development Agreements (CRADAs)

USJFCOM Unclassified 7 What is a CRADA? USJFCOM partners with non-federal government organizations on research, development, test and evaluation (RDT&E) efforts; CRADA authorization arises from a separate statute, so FAR procedures do not apply; CRADAs allow us to share risks and resources; should provide clear benefit to both JFCOM and the partner (“win/win”) Cooperative Research & Development Agreement

USJFCOM Unclassified 8 What is a CRADA? … cont’d USJFCOM cannot pay $$$ to partner or use contractor employees under contract to DOD, but we can provide other types of resources (technical and operational personnel, data, M&S tools, facilities, network access, evaluations, experimentation opportunities) CRADAs protect the intellectual property of our partners; trade secrets or confidential information supplied by a partner shall not be disclosed Partner may get an exclusive license to inventions in a specific negotiated field of endeavor under the CRADA efforts, but at a minimum the government gets a royalty- free license to inventions that are developed through the partnership

USJFCOM Unclassified 11 Why Do a CRADA with JFCOM? JFCOM is not a traditional Federal laboratory; we are first and foremost a combatant command whose main mission is transformation We do little research; more development (and integration); but significant test, experimentation and evaluation JFCOM: r D T & E Partner: R D t & e Calculus: r D T & E + R D t & e = R D T & E Plus – JFCOM rounds this out with conops, training, and doctrine so that we provide a complete DOTMLPF package to the warfighter Good partnerships result when the partners complement each other; both partners benefit.

USJFCOM Unclassified 12 Benefits to JFCOM Partners bring access to thousands of scientists and engineers Improve our standing with industry CRADAs give us a chance to leverage work our partners have already done –Reduces the resources that JFCOM will have to provide –Reduces the amount of time required to accomplish the projects –Reduces the risk –Improves the quality of the product Better, cheaper, faster, lower risk – not bad!

USJFCOM Unclassified 13 Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR)

USJFCOM Unclassified 14 A competitive 3-phase program addressing the research needs of government organizations –Phase I: < $100K; 6 months feasibility study –Phase II: < $750K for those that are selected; 2 years for prototype development –Phase III: No SBIR funding; Other funding for commercialization or transition Targets small businesses (< 500 employees) Funding is awarded competitively (FAR applies), but process is streamlined Our plan: Make multiple Phase I awards (2-3) per topic and compete the good ideas; down select to one Phase II award for each topic. Expectation: Submit 5-7 topics per year, resulting in Phase I awards Next JFCOM solicitation will come out July 18 as part of OSD program Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR)

USJFCOM Unclassified Industry Symposium Co-sponsors: National Defense Industrial Association (NDIA) and JFCOM When: July 31 and August 1 Where: Hampton Convention Center Theme: “Hampton Roads – Supporting Joint Force Operations” Highlights –Presentations: Governor Kaine, Secretary Chopra, Warfighter, others –Panels: JFCOM Needs, Area Military Reps Requirements, Hampton Roads Communities of Excellence –Breakout sessions to provide specific discussions about needs –Recognition of our CRADA partners –Exhibits (over 70 spaces sold) –Register at NDIA web site,

USJFCOM Unclassified 18 Concluding Comments JFCOM’s technology transfer authorities have enabled us to significantly improve our relationships with industry and academia –We are becoming more externally focused –We are looking to find capabilities and experience that we can leverage before we undertake it ourselves –We are becoming a better partner Our technology transfer authorities provide us with tremendous opportunities to leverage and influence the investments of others Benefits: Better, cheaper, faster, lower risk We are just now touching the surface of what we could do to support the missions of JFCOM and the needs of the joint warfighter Other DoD organizations benefit from our technology transfer activities; leverage our CRADAs
