NAVY SBIR TAP TRANSITIONS FALL EDITION. VOLUME 11. ISSUE 2. 2014 From the Director INTRODUCING NEW SBIR/STTR DIRECTOR I m Bob Smith, and I consider it an honor to have the opportunity to lead the nation s most successful SBIR/STTR program. Prior to assuming the role of Acting Director, I held Big Navy positions including one with the Navy Secretariat, and at ONR I managed several technology transition programs dealing with programming, budgeting, policy and execution issues affecting multiple and major elements in the Navy s R&D portfolio. For years I have marveled at the invaluable impact small businesses have had in solving some of the most vexing challenges facing Naval warfighters. Please join me in my efforts to make a great program even better with a goal of accelerating and expanding transition of your technologies. Working together, you, I, acquisition staffs and PEOs within the Navy can make this a reality. Just prior to his departure from SBIR/STTR, John Williams who put a very impressive stamp on this DON program wrote, Over my past 15 years in the SBIR community I ve met some of this nation s best engineers and scientists worked with you, watched you grow, and learned much about entrepreneurship from you. It s this history that encouraged me to accept a senior position at the Small Business Administration, starting November 1, 2014. John will be missed, but his departure gives us the opportunity to write a new chapter in American technological innovation, working together. Join me also in wishing DON Office of Small Business Programs Director Mr. Sean Crean fair winds and following seas as he leaves successful DON work to help small firms, and moves to the SBA to lead contracting work there. Retired RADM Crean became our SBIR/STTR champion in the Big Navy, but has left his office in the very capable hands of Director Patricia Obey (Acting), whom I look forward to working with to take small business contracting and subcontracting to a new level of effectiveness and opportunity. PHASE III GUIDEBOOK DON SBIR/STTR passed a major milestone with the publication in October 2014 of the long-awaited SBIR and STTR Phase III Guidebook For Program Managers, Contracting Officers and Small Business Professionals. Commissioned by ASN RDA in 2012, this comprehensive how to desk reference, assembled with assistance from DON Office of Small Business Programs, DASN Research Development Testing & Evaluation and DON Acquisition & Procurement, is intended as a living document that will be frequently updated to ensure accuracy. Importantly, It reflects input on best practice from DON s PM and Contracting Officer communities. I have posted the Phase III Guidebook at www.navysbir.com, and look forward to working with OSBP Director Obey to socialize this important publication throughout the Navy and Marine Corps and perhaps beyond, to other DoD Services and smaller Components, in response to growing interest. For example, two SBIR awardees have already reported their successful use of the Phase III Guidebook in helping Contracting Officers decide to use the Phase III tool instead of issuing new RFPs one company with an Air Force SBIR project, the other with an Army SBIR as proof of this document s worth across DoD Component lines. NAVY OPPORTUNITY FORUM I m happy to report that the 2015 Navy Opportunity Forum is ahead of its planning schedule and has received formal DON Assistant for Administration approval as you know, the 2014 Forum was one of just a tiny handful of events across DoD approved last year, a fight won on the strength of SBIR/STTR awardees commercialization performance plus our ability to achieve major Forum cost efficiencies. Hats off to Dawnbreaker Inc. for their years of service in managing annual Forums starting in 2000. Anticipating an improved 2015 Forum, Steve Sullivan and I have already begun working with DON Systems Commands through VADM Paul Grosklags Principal Military Deputy ASN RDA to ensure their participation in the 2015 Forum marketplace. We re also working with ASN RDA Sean Stackley to ensure his formal support in the form of a DON-wide memo we hope to see in January, 2015. Further, my Primes Initiative held more than a dozen meetings with new and old defense industry firms at the recent Beyond Phase II and Defense Manufacturing Conferences to sharpen their appetite for 2015 Forum participation. I expect the 2015 Forum to be the year s most successful DoD marketplace for 150 small firms, and hope to see you there. www.navysbir.com Bob Smith Director (Acting), DON Navy SBIR/STTR Programs SBIR/STTR Phase III Guidebook The Navy SBIR/STTR Program Office is located at the Office of Naval Research.

Lockheed Martin Proud Supporter of the SBIR Effort Aligning with a prime contractor is a major achievement for a small business after developing an SBIR/STTRfunded technology to see a product, which once was nothing more than an idea be picked up by a major defense contractor is rewarding. And no name is more synonymous with defense than Lockheed Martin. Ranked as the #1 U.S. defense contractor in 2013, Lockheed Martin secured over $45 billion in government contracts. The company s enthusiasm and support of small business initiatives is one reason why they have become the exemplary prime with which many research and development firms strive to partner. Lockheed Martin proudly supports the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs by providing small businesses with assistance during multiple phases of their SBIR/STTR projects. This includes supporting technology requirements, evaluation, co-development and insertion into larger systems. Our SBIR/STTR program objectives are to assist small businesses in the development of innovative technologies that can be inserted within our products and services, said Orysia Buchan, Lockheed Martin co-lead for SBIR/STTR programs. By doing so, we are bridging the technology gap between current technologies and future innovations, while providing access to high-level subject matter expertise and cutting-edge technologies found within small innovative firms. Lockheed Martin-endorsed proposals led to 113 new SBIR/ STTR project awards to small businesses in 2013. To achieve Phase III success by inserting SBIR/STIR-funded technologies into programs of record, the company is currently involved in several projects. Lockheed Martin is partnering with Medford, Massachusetts-based Midé to deliver novel sensor capabilities on tactical equipment. The technology is not currently available with other sensing techniques and will be integrated into the Aegis Weapon System. On its MH-60 helicopter platform, Lockheed Martin is working on a project that leverages advances in fiber lasers thanks to its acquisition of Lockheed Martin Aculight following the company s Phase I and II SBIR awards. Lockheed Martin teamed with small businesses Creare and Gamma Engineering on a long-term project utilizing cryogenic machining of titanium parts to reduce the cost of titanium while increasing production rates. There is currently a Phase III transition for this technology for titanium roughing of F-35 aircraft parts, which will realize huge affordability savings for the program. This year, Lockheed Martin is keeping pace with several additional Phase III successes. In 2014, the company partnered with Wagner Associates on the Littoral Combat Ship program to develop Anti-Submarine Warfare modules for optimizing the use of air, surface and subsurface assets Figure 1: SBIR technologies specific to the F-35 fighter jet program to defend threat submarines and reduce friendly force vulnerability. Lockheed Martin and Neya Systems are also working on a Phase III transition in which Neya is integrating Army-developed Phase II SBIR work on mission management as part of Lockheed Martin s Advanced Technology Unmanned Aerial Systems (ATUAS) program. In this effort, 2
Neya is extending its Mission Planning and Management System to incorporate a market-based planner component that will enable dynamic tasking and re-tasking of unmanned vehicles. This project follows another Phase III success with Neya Systems, where the two companies are demonstrating intuitive control of unmanned rotorcraft called VERTI. The project is flight-testing the tablet-based ground controller on the K-MAX cargo helicopter, which just returned from an almost three-year deployment resupplying Marines in Afghanistan. The F-35 fighter jet, one of Lockheed Martin s most in-demand systems, has seen a number of SBIR projects contribute to its development. Many earlier F-35 SBIR projects are seeing results with technology being used on the production line or planned for use in aircraft sustainment. This includes technologies for mold-in-place inlet coatings, optical projection of work instructions, a panel step/gap measurement device, a terahertz coating measurement device, a hand-held imaging tool and advances in fastener fill materials and applications. The chart in Figure 1 illustrates SBIR technologies specific to this program. One of the keys to Lockheed Martin s success in the SBIR and STTR programs is collaboration across the company s five Business Area teams, who share best practices and work together as one, unified team. The Lockheed Martin team has approximately 150 technologists, business development and supplier diversity professionals assisting in leveraging small business technologies for the benefit of Lockheed Martin programs and new business pursuits. Lockheed Martin typically provides small business innovation research firms with technical and business assistance during varying phases of their SBIR/STTR projects. The company prefers to start relationships with small businesses as early as possible, preferably the Phase I solicitation phase prior to a Phase I contract award, in order to maximize the benefit to the business and government. However, these relationships may start at various times during program phases. Local and national SBIR/STTR conferences provide another avenue for Lockheed Martin to view small business capabilities. As a Platinum Sponsor of the 2014 Navy Opportunity Forum, Lockheed Martin had the opportunity to meet dozens of small businesses to learn about their technologies through presentations, one-on-one meetings and informal networking. It was also at this venue where Lockheed Martin proudly accepted the inaugural People s Choice Award for SBIR by the Navy Transition Assistance Program in 2012. The company is also a sponsoring member of the industry-led SBIR Consortium (ISCo) and has established Technology Collaboration and Innovation Centers to facilitate transition of advanced SBIR/STTR technologies. Within these centers, Lockheed Martin s small business partners are able to demonstrate and assess their technologies in near-operational environments that increase the technology readiness level and facilitate transition of advanced SBIR/ STTR capabilities. Through the SBIR and STTR programs, Lockheed Martin and its small business partners are developing innovative, affordable solutions that address their customers most difficult challenges. The company is committed to continuing these relationships and furthering the success of small businesses across the country. RESOURCES 1.

Learning from the Experts at the Navy Opportunity Forum 2014 Communicate, be proactive, and be flexible these were some of the major themes communicated by Navy leadership, industry, and small businesses at this year s Navy Opportunity Forum held June 2 4 at the Hyatt Regency in Crystal City, VA. The Navy invests over $250M annually in SBIR/STTR initiatives to foster technology research, development, test and evaluation (RDT&E) for use on major platforms including the H-53 Helicopters, the Littoral Combat Ship, and the Mobile User Objective System (MUOS). The experienced event speakers underscored this commitment through their presence, words of advice, and guidance throughout the event. The Navy Opportunity Forum is the Navy s premiere small business event and is considered a model for technology transition process. The SBIR technology development environment and Navy Transition Assistance Program (TAP) provide the Navy with significant return on investment as SBIR-funded technologies drive down costs by increasing competition and providing revolutionary technologies. The overall technology commercialization rate for Navy TAP participants is significantly higher (70%) than that of non-tap participants (39%). The event speakers and panelists messages emphasized success beginning with the first panel Innovation: Roles and Opportunities for Small Business featuring VADM Paul A. Grosklags, VADM David A. Dunaway, RADM Mathew L. Klunder, and RDML Thomas J. Kearney, and followed by a luncheon keynote address from The Honorable Sean J. Stackley, the Assistant Secretary of the Navy (Research, Development & Acquisition). Day Two featured lunch with keynote speaker Thomas W. Hicks, the Acting Under Secretary of the Navy and two panel discussions The Mechanics Behind Transitioning SBIR Technology to a PoR (with James Smerchansky, Deputy Commander MCSC; William P. Bray Executive Director, PEO-IWS; Robert Kimball, Deputy Program Manager for Strike Weapons PEO U&W; and moderator Mary Lacey, DASN (RDT&E) and SBIR Data Rights and Better Buying Power: A Case Study" (with Frank T. Willis of Physical Optics; David Metzger of Arnold & Porter, LLP; and Gary Schubert of PMA 299. Keynote Speaker The Honorable Dennis V. McGinn, ASN Energy, Installations & Environment (ASN (EI&E)), provided additional insights on Day Three. Each of these speakers shared their perspectives on how small businesses can maximize their commercialization potential by interacting more efficiently with both the Navy and industry. Communication between small businesses, primes, and Government as well as government to government was a common theme at the event. RDML Kearney of NAVSEA touched on how his group is working to improve the communication cycle between the government, the primes, and small businesses, which he likened to a circle with three different points on it representing the government, the primes, and small businesses. Currently, very strong linkages exist between the government and the primes with a lot of contracts between the two, but he Creare, Inc., a New Hampshire research and development company, presents its latest technology a Flight Hearing Protection System to interested attendees at the 2014 Navy Opportunity Forum. Rear Admiral Matthew L. Klunder participates in a panel discussion titled, Innovation: Roles and Opportunities for Small Business" at the 2014 Navy Opportunity Forum. 4
leadership discussed a variety of techniques to gain a better understanding of working with established processes using a realistic approach. Robert Kimball, Deputy Program Manager for Strike Weapons PEO U&W, noted that, A lot of times when you re dealing with SBIR initiatives, they are a piece, it s not the complete answer. A lot of the transitions that we ve seen that have been successful have not been just one SBIR, but it s a culmination of multiple SBIRs. This may take the form of multiple SBIRs from one company, or several different companies SBIR technologies working together. Mr. Kimball went on to point out that effectively communicating with the different advanced development leads who understand the breadth of opportunities that are out there and what the different parts are, and how to put them together is a vital component of technology transition. Vice Admiral Paul A. Grosklags talks about what it takes to transition SBIR technologies to the fleet during a panel discussion at the 2014 Navy Opportunity Forum. noted that, in his opinion, the link between the government and small businesses can be much better than it has been in the past. Efforts to improve communication, including the Navy Opportunity Forum, are underway, but attendees were also encouraged to communicate more with their program offices. One way to potentially improve communication between these groups is to push forward to ensure that government representatives understand that they can and should talk to industry. Effective communication also plays a role when program managers and contractors deal with risk. VADM Dunaway of NAVAIR noted that, We train ourselves to be risk averse, we have to train ourselves to be risk managers. In a warfighting world, we re risk managers, we re not risk averse. If we were risk averse we d duct tape ourselves to our seat and never get in our airplanes we don t do that. Therefore, Operational Risk Management (ORM) is something that the Navy is trying to incorporate into its program process, which may help by communicating the risk ahead of time instead of just not accepting it. A cornerstone of both the Navy Opportunity Forum and Navy TAP tying excellent technology to a strong transition plan was a key element echoed by the speakers throughout the event. Having a plan to mature a piece of a solution from beginning to end must be considered up front. The most successful companies have had well-thought-out transition plans from the onset of their projects along with roadmaps on how to transition technology into the targeted weapons system. VADM Dunaway expanded on this idea by noting that, If you re waiting on the requirements process to define the requirements for you, you are in the wrong business; the requirements process is a monolithic, very slow, cumbersome process. You have to connect with the warfighter, you have to take the incredible, intellectual technology that you have, connect it with the warfighter and articulate where it belongs in the process. I think it s much more of a push from the small businesses perspective than it s going to be a pull, if you want it to be successful. The businesses that figure that out and learn how to take the risks and get a technology to Another key to success highlighted by the speakers was the importance of a small business being proactive about risk management. RADM Klunder spoke to the topic of proactively managing risk noting that, If we don t take risk, we re running with the pack, and the bad guys are in the pack also. If we re really going to stay in front of our adversaries and keep this nation secure and our other partner nations secure, we cannot be risk averse and I guarantee you we re not. Understanding and meeting requirements as another way to succeed was stressed by VADM Paul A. Grosklags during a panel session, If you can bring technologies and solutions that actually meet defined requirements, whether that s new technology or old technology, that s used in an innovative way to address a warfighter need or cost or readiness, those are getting attention today. To help small businesses align themselves with the requirements process, Navy JRM Enterprises unveiled not one, but two projects at this year s Navy Opportunity Forum a Lightweight, Flexible, Scalable Approach to Trainer Systems under a NAVSEA SBIR and Material Classification for Physics-Based Sensor Simulation Using Stereo-Pair Imagery under a NAVAIR SBIR. 5
the point where it s so tantalizing that we can t help but be interested are the businesses that are going to succeed. The Honorable Sean Stackley further underscored the importance of working through the requirements process from a government and small business perspective, The most important thing is getting those requirements right. When you look at where we have failed, in terms of major programs breaking down, cost over-runs, etc. 90% of the time it s because we failed to get the requirement right and so we re spending more time in that phase of the process. Efforts are underway to help better identify requirements so that if they point toward a particular capability, the Navy can spend time with industry to help further shape the technology. Part of this process is ensuring that the requirement makes sense technically and is affordable and feasible before releasing a Request for Proposal (RFP). This should help ensure that the Navy has a good understanding of the costs, the maturity of the technology, and the timeline for delivering that capability at the time of the award. The idea of flexibility for small businesses, industry, and government was also a central theme throughout the event. During his talk, The Honorable Dennis V. McGinn, the ASN(EI&E), described his view of technologies with both defense and commercial applications as spin-in, spin-out. Technologies developed for the government can be spun out and have a tremendous impact on the Nations s economy and quality of life, but the spin-in of commercial off the shelf technology is also a role that government needs to play. However, getting a technology to the point of transition poses many challenges for small businesses, often from a timing and budget perspective. Developing strategies to cope with these challenges is a task on the government radar and should also be at the forefront of small business planning. Secretary Stackley touched on the challenge of the burdensome length of the contract process and the need for government to address this problem. One approach that Secretary Stackley suggests is setting up a chain of advocacy PEOs and program managers should give small businesses an entry point to the organization and help small businesses solve problems in a timely fashion. Flexible business models and careful planning around challenges were discussed in depth when a case study of a successful Phase III transition was explored. Recognizing the customers unique needs and demonstrating a willingness to react and make compromises was discussed by panelists from industry, government, and small business. Frank Willis of Physical Optics described this process as one in which it is, extremely important to listen, but it s more important to take a look at what s in the best interest for you and your customer and ask yourself what are the trade offs that we both can make to come up with a solution that addresses the need? The central themes of the Navy Opportunity Forum speakers all clearly tied into that sentiment communicate with your customers and sponsors, be proactive and work to identify ways for your technology to meet a demonstrated need, and be flexible when working with all of the involved parties. The lessons learned at the 2014 Navy Opportunity Forum truly exemplify the Navy s continued commitment to small business successes. The Navy Opportunity Forum provides the ideal platform for small businesses to showcase their SBIR/STTR-funded technologies and to make connections with members of the acquisition community, government personnel, and potential strategic partners. 6

Naval Future Force Science & Technology EXPO The Naval Future Force Science & Technology (S&T) EXPO is the Office of Naval Research s (ONR) premiere event. Formerly the S&T Partnership Conference, it provides access to naval leadership who will discuss the objectives of the revised Naval S&T Strategy, the status of key programs and new research opportunities. Most importantly, the EXPO provides small firms with the opportunity for face-to-face meetings with ONR program staff who are ordinarily not available to small firms, and the opportunity to display posters and whole technology demos. The Office of Naval Research (ONR) delivers Innovations for the future force. Technological advantage for our Sailors and Marines is achieved through the Naval S&T Strategy, which is: To discover, develop, and deliver decisive naval capabilities, near- to long-term, by investing in a balanced portfolio of breakthrough research, innovative technology and talented people. The U.S. Navy and Marine Corps are already exploring innovative solutions in cutting-edge programs, such as: lasers and railguns, autonomous systems, tactical cloud technology, training and medical science, energy initiatives, oceanography and meteorology. Expeditionary & Irregular Warfare Platform Design & Survivability Power & Energy Power Projection & Integrated Defense Warfighter Performance In addition to the technology EXPO, complementary topics will run concurrently on: doing business with ONR, small business opportunities; science technology engineering and mathematics (STEM) and workforce development; and international S&T collaboration. When: February 4-5, 2015 Where: Walter E. Washington Convention Center, Washington DC Registration is open: www.onr.navy.mil/expo This event is co-sponsored with the American Society of Naval Engineers (ASNE): www.navalengineers.org As ONR investigates these and other technologies, it recognizes the importance of dialogue and sharing new ideas on complex challenges.
