4 Monday, November 3, 2003Natick Soldier Center Organizational Study General Organization Began as dedicated Army Lab Purpose of NSC To maximize the warrior's survivability sustainability mobility combat effectiveness and quality of life by treating the warrior as a system. Technology generation Soldier system generation Solving field problems Do not mass produce products

5 Monday, November 3, 2003Natick Soldier Center Organizational Study Personnel / Leadership Mostly Civilian Civilian leadership Education levels 52 PhDs (2 senior scientists) 139 MS 40 interns Mentorship program Just reached end of 15 yr. hiring freeze Transfer of knowledge from expert to student

6 Monday, November 3, 2003Natick Soldier Center Organizational Study Directorates Individual protection Combat feeding Collective protection Airdrop/Arial delivery Supporting science and technology (biotechnology, nanotechnology) Warrior systems technology integration

7 Monday, November 3, 2003Natick Soldier Center Organizational Study Individual Protection Directorate Covers Research and Development in: Ballistic Protection Directed Energy Protection Environmental Protection Camouflage Multi-functional Materials Chemical/ Biological Protection

8 Monday, November 3, 2003Natick Soldier Center Organizational Study Chemical Technology Team 18 total members Supports NSC mission through: Percutaneous CB Protection Microclimate Conditioning Cross-team/project consultation Cross-functional teams + long standing teams Long/short-term goals Determined by technology transition point Quantified by Technology Readiness Levels (TRL’s)

9 Monday, November 3, 2003Natick Soldier Center Organizational Study Funding Total NSC Budget of $468 M Sources DTRA (Defense Threat Reduction Agency) MIPT (Memorial Institute for the Prevention of Terrorism) NIST (National Institute for Standards and Technology) Competition within the IPD Fit of Project to CTT mission

10 Monday, November 3, 2003Natick Soldier Center Organizational Study Marketing Identify needs? 1) Government organizations 2) Homeland defense/First responder community Separate NSC teams create exhibits and handle marketing Self-promotion of CTT at Conferences Feedback throughout development License products for civilian use

11 Monday, November 3, 2003Natick Soldier Center Organizational Study Production Projects generally take 2-5 years Technology push, not consumer pull Typically long product shelf life CTT determines product obsolescence Equipment replacement beyond CTT scope

12 Monday, November 3, 2003Natick Soldier Center Organizational Study 6.1 6.3 6.2 Focus Engineering Sciences Physical & Math Sciences Ocean, Atmosphere & Earth Sciences Life Sciences Acquisition Technology Superiority National Security Fundamental Knowledge Applied Research ARL/NSC Adv..Development NSC Understanding Option Basic Research (ARL, Universities, DARPA) Directed Knowledge Engineering/ Operational Knowledge Operational Requirements Opportunities Investment Strategy Process

13 Monday, November 3, 2003Natick Soldier Center Organizational Study Differences From The Private Sector Acquisitions of materials, labor and contracting Political/economic budget dependencies Classified material vs. trade secrets Different terms for success: Transitioning a technology or test methodology Insight into a specific technical dilemma Spin off application for a technology Milestones No established metrics for quantifying success

14 Monday, November 3, 2003Natick Soldier Center Organizational Study Thank you Dianne St. Jean Dick Brown Axel E. Rodriguez Beth McCoy Pvt. Paul All NSC staff Gate Guards Guys who search Adam’s trunk
