1. IWS3E Advanced Programs Technology Insertion
My name is Michael Mook and I work in IWS3A advanced programs and strategic planning. I will be talking about the status of our technology insertion efforts. This is from a program office perspective meaning that I will be covering only those technology activities that have been coordinated with IWS3. There are many others.

Our technology needs are determined in a number of ways but they all are some form of evaluation of our ability to meet these top level requirements. The Way Ahead effort is one manner of doing this and points out gaps in our capability. This then points to where technology options should be explored. Another and potentially more effective method is a standard requirements flow. Options can be explored at any stage and to any degree of detail.
Once the needs are established and prioritized, the process of finding the solution begins. This includes outreach in terms of advertising these needs to the world (or some part of it) so that their energies are properly focused. This also means applying the right resources.
At some point in the tech development stage we POM for tech transition. This means that we’ve applied some appropriate filter to the technology efforts and determined which are to move forward. While the S&T community is the major player during tech development, the program office(s) are the predominant players at the tech transition stage.
At some point in the tech trans stage another filter is applied and we POM for acquisition product improvements. These are ultimately fielded and operated in the real world at which point the cycle begins anew.

8. IWS3E Advanced Programs SBIR Activities
There are six battery technology contracts. Three are in phase II or phase II option. We have been talking to Eagle-Picher but it is unclear to me at this point which has the greatest potential for transition or if there will be any costs incurred by the program office (none has been included in the POM).
Of the battery contractors three have been approved for phase II. PEO IWS did not have sufficient funding for all of these so two will be picked up by MDA.
(Technical descriptions of any of these??)

9. IWS3E Advanced Programs SBIR Activities
We are nearing award of 5 phase I SBIR contracts for development and testing of advanced radome materials. The materials proposed are at differing levels of maturity and potential and I fully expect at least one contractor to continue to phase II and my hope is to have two or more. One for early transition to design and development and one for later transition to more of a risk reduction effort. We have coordinated with the radome folks here at Raytheon and we are working to make sure these efforts dovetail with those already underway.
