  2. Mine for Opportunistic Technologies Stay Aware, Informed, Involved. Interface with all stakeholders - Relationships Includes TRADOC, ASAALT, RDECOM, G8, OSD, other UA PMs and IPTs, LSI, S&T Providers…… Influence S&T efforts Primarily via ASTWG and DARPA Processes, but not limited. Once Endorsed, Guide/Monitor Efforts until Technology is Transitioned to System PM. Get the Word Out via Presentations, Conferences, Articles, Summits – and Any Other Opportunity Present the UA S&T Requirements. Educate the “Bridge” function to Stakeholders. Participate in Strategic Guidance efforts such as Army Science Board, UA Board of Directors, DARPA SAG. PM Unit of Action, Technologies Mission To be the Bridge between the S&T and PM Communities, Enabling the Transition of Matured Technologies that Address Capability Gaps. ◊ Identify, Influence, and Nurture S&T Efforts toward PM Requirements ◊ ◊ Plan for and Negotiate the Transition◊
