Transition Lexicon Technology Transition:Technology Transition:
Range of activities involved with improving, moving, maturing, and
speeding the movement of technology to the marketplace In DoD, this
usually applies to developing, adapting, or improving commercial
and military technologies for use in weapon system applications.
For example, monitoring technology movement to: the next phase of
acquisition; OR an actual military system that has been or may be
fielded; OR a military / commercial test facility or depot
Technology InsertionTechnology Insertion: Introduction, placement,
and integration of a demonstrated defense or commercial technology
into a military system, component, or application
Slide 17
UNCLASSIFIED T2 to Small Business 01/19/12 Page-17 The
Transition Lexicon (Contd) Technology TransferTechnology Transfer:
In DoD, its the intentional communication (sharing) of knowledge,
expertise, facilities, equipment, and other resources for
application to military and nonmilitary systems with state and
local governments, industries, and academia. (i.e. spin-off,
dual-use, and spin-on) Affordability:Affordability: Consideration
of best value options that integrates performance, cost,
producibility / manufacturability, reliability, supportability, and
risk Does not mean the cheapest o Dictionary: To manage to bear
without serious detriment... reasonable, modest, moderate...
