  1. Technology Transfer in Support of Agency Strategy 15 Sept 2005 Sharon Borland Office of Technology Transfer and Outreach U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center

  2. Where are we?

  3. Engineer Research andDevelopment Center Alaska Projects Office European Research Office Anchorage Field Office Field Exposure Station Columbia River Fisheries Research Facility Cold Regions Research Engineering Laboratory The Dalles Research Facility Eau Galle Laboratory Construction Engineering Research Laboratory Topographic Engineering Center Chemistry Quality Assurance Laboratory Field Research Facility Trotters Shoals Limnological Research Facility Big Black Test Facility Lewisville Aquatic Ecosystems Research Facility Coastal and Hydraulics Laboratory Environmental Laboratory Geotechnical and Structures Laboratory Information Technology Laboratory

  4. Where we fit in

  5. Army Vision The Way Ahead: Relevant and Ready

  6. Army Science and Technology Master Plan • Strategic direction to the Army S&T community • Synchronizes the S&T program with the Army Transformation Roadmap • Describes S&T programs being executed by the Army’s Major Commands • Technology Transfer emphasis on “spin-on”, dual use methods as well as “spin-off”

  7. Corps of Engineers Strategic Vision • One Team: Relevant, Ready, Responsive, Reliable, proudly serving the Army Forces and Nation now and in the future • A full-spectrum Engineer Force of high quality Civilians and Soldiers, working with our partners to deliver innovative and effective solutions to the Nation’s engineering challenges

  8. Corps Strategy • Army values are foundation • Focused on the Mission and those we serve • Dedicated to public service • A Vital Part of the Army

  9. Corps’ Campaign goals • Support stability, reconstruction and Homeland Security Operations • Develop sound water resources solutions • Enhance life-cycle infrastructure management

  10. Center/Lab Vision • To be the world’s premier public engineering and environmental sciences R&D organization, responding to our nation’s needs in peace and war

  11. In the Trenches • Technology transfer is recognized and encouraged • Primary stakeholder’s needs require improved technology transition • Challenges include budget, mission priorities, resources • How do we re-organize to meet changing requirements?

  12. Assessment • Peer Reviews • Reality!! • Change: Constant operational mode

  13. ERDC • Major subordinate command over the R&D labs • Stood up FY 1998; Capitalize in place • OTTO formed during FY 2000

  14. Technology Transfer Two Definitions; Two Goals … • Focus on Army Customers – The process by which we identify, plan, develop, and infuse technology solutions into use by our Army customers in support of their daily operations. • Focus on External Customers -- The process by which knowledge, expertise, and technology developed in Federal R&D laboratories or centers are made available for fulfillment of other public or private needs. Partnering is a Critical Resource Multiplier to Achieve Both Goals

  15. Technology Partnering DOE Academia FAA NASA FHWA EPA NIST Army (DOD) DOI NOAA Industry NSF ERDC Prof. Assoc. Other Military Services Other Government State & Local COE Districts, Divisions, HQUSACE Army Commands Installations

  16. Active Agreements 23 Patent License Agreements 110 Active Cooperative Research and Development Agreements 74 Testing Services Agreements 18 Education Partnership Agreements 90 Universities with R&D Contracts Highlights R&D Partnering Open GIS Foundation -- Webmapping Five Licensees CORE-LOC University of Illinois – PAVER/ROOFER Goodyear Tire & Caterpillar, Inc. – Equipment Modeling

  17. Customer Diversity Navy •  Air Force DOT • USCG •  NSF • FAA •  NASA •  NWS States of AK, NH, ME, MD, MN, NV, VT, WA Dartmouth College University of Alaska, Fairbanks Colorado State University Montana State University University of Vermont University of New Orleans Oregon State University University of Washington Caterpillar, Inc. Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company Michelin Research Bechtel Lockheed Martin Boeing Camp Dresser and McKee

  18. Benefits • Consolidate resource needs and improve teaming • TT goals allow the labs to leverage and force multiply their capabilities • Increase use of facilities to “keep the sword sharp”
