Army looks to speed up technology transfer

Army looks to speed up technology transfer: "Some of the Army's top science and technology leaders said they are changing how they think and act so they can transfer new technology solutions to Warfighters at the speed Soldiers themselves are facing an evolving threat on the battlefield.

The conversation took place during at panel discussion at the Winter Association of the U.S. Army conference here.

U.S. Army Research, Development and Engineering Command Commander Maj. Gen. Nick Justice led the panel, which included the directors of RDECOM's research laboratory, the tank-automotive center, Soldier center, along with a representative of the Program Executive Office community. The panel spoke to, and answered questions for, an audience of hundreds of Soldiers, civilian employees and defense industry representatives.

'What we're trying to do is be agile and innovative and have the discipline we find in our organizations out there on the battlefield,' Justice said."
