Modeling the Impact of Technology Transition on Ship Operational Capabilities

Phase I of this solicitation sets the groundwork for the creation of a Technology Transition Decision Support tool. The work accomplished here addresses not only the status of the broader technical and business marketplaces, but also the specific needs of a sample system. By taking this multi-path approach, the solution will be on-topic for the Navy as well as for commercial organizations. At the heart of Phase I is the performance of a functional specification, or needs analysis, focused on a sample system. This in-depth analysis provides real-world basis for the development of patterns and methodologies used in creating a broad-based solution. Using a diverse team of engineers, analysts and mathematicians, methodologies and a design for the framework of modeling technology transition will be developed.
