9. The Ground Vehicle Simulation Laboratory(GVSL)provides the capability to evaluate Tank and Automotive systems and sub-systems engineering and operational performance using a series of unique motion-based simulators to place the users, vehicle systems and subsystems, in a variety of dynamic environments, which accurately reproduce motions experienced during proving ground tests or field operations. They are: Crew Station / Turret Motion Base Simulator (CS/TMBS) Ride Motion Simulator (RMS) Pintle Motion Base Simulator (PMBS) Re-Configurable “N” Post Simulator (RNPS) Vehicle Inertial Properties Evaluation Rig (VIPER) Custom Component Test Equipment Tire Lab (Durability/Characterization Capabilities) Virtual Environment Development and Immersion for man/equipment-in-the-loop testing (i.e. human immersive testing, robotics, etc.) Ground Vehicle Simulation

10. The GVSL analytical simulation capability focuses on the utilization of physics-based computer models capable of predicting vehicle dynamic and structural performance. The models can consider scenarios that are too dangerous to test, as well as those within a vehicle’s expected operating envelope. Develop models for real-time manned technology-in-the-loop assessments Develop quantitative tools for structural integrity, durability and reliability analysis.

19. US ArmyNATIONAL AUTOMOTIVE CENTERTechnology Partnerships • Cooperative Research and Development Agreements (CRADA) Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR)

20. CRADAs are established between Federal Government Laboratories and one (or more) commercial partners to facilitate technology transfer between the parties for their mutual benefit. This helps to improve U.S. competitiveness. Under a CRADA, an industry partner may contribute resources such as personnel, services, property and funding to the effort. The government can contribute all the above, except funding. SBIRs are used to fund early-stage, innovative Research & Development (R & D) efforts that serve to meet U.S. Army needs and have a potential for commercialization in private and/or military markets. Overview Cooperative Research and Development Agreement Small Business Innovation Research

21. Sharing Resources in a Joint Effort for a Dual-Use Objective. Cooperative Research And Development (CRADA) Program

22. QuickThe agreement can typically be established within 60 days of initiation. CRADA - Features & Benefits Mutually Beneficial It was created to encourage and facilitate cooperative R&D, with industry interests as the focus and technology transfer as the goal. The commercial partner generally has the first option to exclusively license technology which the Army invents under the CRADA. Flexible It provides leveraging of resources including funding, facilities, equipment, and knowledge. Each party pays for their own tasks under a very flexible Statement of Work. SafeCompany proprietary information that pre-dates the CRADA is protected at all times. All intellectual property developed under the CRADA belongs to the inventing party. SimpleThe conditions of the agreement and the basic rights of each party are set forth in clear and simple language. There are no matching funds mandated under a CRADA.

24. Successfully Transferring New Technology from Concept to Market Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Program

25. Government-wide Program established by Congress in 1982 to promote small business participation in Federal Research and Development (R&D) SBIR R&D Enhancement Act of 1992 (PL 102-564) extended the SBIR Program until Oct 2000. The Act HR 5667 of December 2000 re-authorized the Program until 2008. DOD SBIR Program administered in accordance with Small Business Administration (SBA) SBIR Policy Directives Serves Army R&D needs by identifying and funding innovative projects proposed by the small business community Allows Army Labs & RDECs to tap into advanced technologies of small firms SBIR Program History

26. Stimulates technological innovation. Uses small businesses to meet Federal R & D needs Fosters & encourages participation by socially and economically disadvantaged small businesses. Increases private sector commercialization of innovations derived from Federal R & D, thereby increasing competition, productivity and economic growth. Uses a three-phase approach, involving projects of high technical risk, to establish technical feasibility. Visit www.acq.osd.mil/sadbu/sbir for more details SBIR - Features & Benefits
