Industry Evaluation and Assessment of Military and Civilian First Responder Technology Transfer (MCFRTT) (RULETC)
This study will result in a compilation of information that will enhance the transition of military technology applications available to the public safety and first responder communities. A key outcome of this study will be to ensure that the Department of Defense (DOD) is transferring technologies developed for military first responders to civilian first responders. In order to establish and facilitate viable commercialization of military and civilian first responder technology, a focused and comprehensive strategy is essential. To this end, a broad examination and assessment of what technologies exist needs to be performed.
This task will gather information and assess the first
responder community to identify the most promising and productive
collaborative opportunities for technology transition and homeland
defense. First responders need new, reliable and interoperable equipment
using developed technology in order to perform at the high levels
required in both military and civilian situations. The objective is to
be able to use the information collected to find the most critical areas
and match them with the latest technologies available. There is a wide
spectrum of companies and organizations claiming to do this now. The
purpose of this effort is to review and collate available information
from others into a manageable package that then can be used in DOD
technology transfer efforts to support first responders.
