Technology transfer Accelerating Technology Transition : Bridging the Valley of Death for Materials and Processes in Defense Systems This site provides access to the full text of the report written by the National Research Council Committee on Accelerating Technology Transition, National Materials Advisory Board, Board on Manufacturing and Engineering Design, and the Division on Engineering and Physical Sciences, published by the National Academies Press in 2004. The report looks at methods to accelerate technology transition into US military systems which will be crucial to the creation of a more flexible fighting force, through identifying lessons that can be learned from commercial design and manufacturing groups who implement rapid technology applications. The report looks at three key areas; creating a culture for innovation and rapid technology transition; methodologies and approaches; and enabling tools and databases.
no title available no description supplied Equipping Tomorrow's Military Force : Integration of Commercial and Military Manufacturing in 2010 and Beyond This site provides access to the full text of the report written by the National Research Council Committee on Integration of Commercial and Military Manufacturing in 2010 and Beyond and the Board on Manufacturing and Engineering Design, published by the National Academies Press in 2002. The report looks at the need for transformation of the US military industrial production support base and lessons that can be learned and applied from the commercial sector. The chapters look at the case for integrating commercial and military manufacturing; current defence industry integration successes; opportunities and barriers for future manufacturing integration; and education and training including understanding the commercial market place, and creating a commercial acquisition academy. Microelectromechanical systems : advanced materials and fabrication methods A publication of the National Academy Press which discusses the proposition that there is a revolution underway in the field of micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS). Many industrial procedures, not just engineering, will be affected. it analyses the nature of this "revolution". Operations Other Than War (OOTW): The Technological Dimension This is a report, following a workshop on the subject, written by The Center For Advanced Command Concepts And Technology (ACT) at the National Defense University (NDU). It considers command and control in operations other than war, and the need to create Mission Capability Packages in support of combined and coalition operations. The technologies discussed include mine-clearance, counter-sniping, counter-mortar capabilities, language interpretation, and training. Review of the Research Program of the Partnership for a New Generation of Vehicles: Fourth Report This is the HTML version of a Report by the National Research Council's Standing Commitee to Review the Research Program of the Partnership for a New Generation of Vehicles (PNGV). The Program involves the US Government and the United States Council for Automative Research(USCAR)and aims to develop technologies for a new generation of vehicles which could provide fuel economies up to three times (up to 80 mpg) those of similar 1994 family vehicles. Technology Collection Trends in the U.S. Defense Industry Volume IV 1998 This document describes the most likely areas in U.S. defence industry to be targeted by foreign entities collecting information to enhance their own military capabilities or to attack those of the U.S. |
