7. Unclassified Office of Research and Technology Applications (ORTA) 7 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 email to tech.transfer@jfcom.mil 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?”

8. Unclassified Office of Research and Technology Applications (ORTA) 8 Industry Engagement Capability presentations Capability demonstrations Focused forums (select a single important JFCOM need; inform industry; seek solutions) –Live events –Virtual (webcasts) Advantages: Provide greater reach, easier and more convenient for you, and less expensive to do. Annual NDIA/JFCOM Industry Symposium FedBizOps, JFCOM Web Page JFCOM Outreach

9. Unclassified Office of Research and Technology Applications (ORTA) 9 Cooperative Research and Development Agreements (CRADAs)

10. Unclassified Office of Research and Technology Applications (ORTA) 10 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; –Several pieces of Congressional legislation to encourage federal labs to partner with industry and academia –Stevenson-Wydler Act, Bayh-Dole Act, Tech Transfer Act CRADAs allow us to share risks and resources; should provide clear benefit to both JFCOM and the partner (“win/win”) Cooperative Research & Development Agreement

11. Unclassified Office of Research and Technology Applications (ORTA) 11 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 gets right to patent inventions and 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

12. Unclassified Office of Research and Technology Applications (ORTA) 12 Partnering for Success JFCOM PARTNER CRADA

13.

14. Unclassified Office of Research and Technology Applications (ORTA) 14 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 Our partners are generally strong in R&D Our strength is on the T&E part of RDT&E –Examine how well capabilities integrate with other capabilities; test for interoperability –Experiment to determine utility to the warfighter; provide feedback on what we like or don’t like; partner with you to “get it right” Plus – JFCOM rounds out the RDT&E with conops, training, and doctrine so that we provide a complete capability package to the warfighter Good partnerships result when the partners complement each other; both partners benefit.

15. Unclassified Office of Research and Technology Applications (ORTA) 15 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!

16. Unclassified Office of Research and Technology Applications (ORTA) 16 Advantages to our Partners? Many different metrics of “Value” Access to JFCOM personnel; both technical and operational “Warfighter” feedback –What do they like? –What needs to be improved? –What is the utility? JFCOM support for the doctrine, training, TTPs Integration and interoperability testing Inclusion of capabilities in experiments and other events Access to JFCOM facilities, M&S tools, networks, databases, scenarios, and other resources Exposure beyond JFCOM

17. Unclassified Office of Research and Technology Applications (ORTA) 17 Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR)

18. Unclassified Office of Research and Technology Applications (ORTA) 18 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; up to 2 years for prototype development –Phase III: No SBIR funding; Other funding for commercialization or transition; non-monetary assistance from the government Targets small businesses (< 500 employees) Funding is awarded competitively (FAR applies), but process is streamlined Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR)

19. Unclassified Office of Research and Technology Applications (ORTA) 19 Phase I SBIR from 2006.3 Title/CompanyOrgPropsAwards Secure Dynamic Configuration of Real-Time Networks JPRA72 Architecture Technology Corp Innovative Solutions Intl. Automating the Production of Terrain Databases JATTL112 Sentinel AVE, LLC TerraSim, Inc. Next Generation Database Modeled on Human Neurological Processes JTC-I243 Physical Optics Corp Applied Technical Systems Inc. Infobionics, Inc.

20. Unclassified Office of Research and Technology Applications (ORTA) 20 SBIR Programmatics JFCOM topics submitted as part of the Navy program in 2006 A change in JFCOM R&D funding line from the Navy in 2006 to the Office of SecDef (OSD) in 2007 resulted in transition problems JFCOM attempting to resolve the problems JFCOM is “exploring” its own SBIR program to give us more flexibility to address the research problems important to us Our objective: –Submit 5-7 topics each year –Award 2-3 Phase I contracts for each topic –Compete the good ideas and down select to one Phase II award for each topic

21. Unclassified Office of Research and Technology Applications (ORTA) 21 Other ORTA Activities Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Program –Similar to SBIR but for small businesses partnered with universities or other research institutions (FFRDCs, not-for-profits) Education Partnership Agreement -- none yet but several discussions –ODU, Hampton U., William and Mary, ECPI Inventions, patents, trademarks, data rights, licenses (protecting JFCOM intellectual property); “spin off” Technology transfer training

22. Unclassified Office of Research and Technology Applications (ORTA) 22 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 to build the capabilities ourselves –We are becoming a better partner We value our partnerships with industry and academia Contact us at tech.transfer@jfcom.miltech.transfer@jfcom.mil
