  1. Huntsville Advanced Defense Technology Cluster Project Overview to Huntsville Chamber of Commerce Technology CommitteeJanuary 7, 2011

  2. Presentation Agenda • Introduction of the HSV ADTC Project • Introduction of ADTC Project Manager and Project Teams • Business Services Team • Technology Focus Areas Team • Key Goals, Objectives, Metrics • Linkage to Chamber Technology Committee • Next Steps for ADTC Cluster Team

  3. Introduction of ADTC Project

  4. ADTC Project • The new HSV ADTC Project is the result of: • Local leaders creating VCSI to enable collaborative R&D, prototype development and engineering demonstration projects • Mayor Battle recognizing the need to provide higher level technical services to our current government customers, extend our technology reach to other government agencies, and creating new commercial firms, and • The HSV-Madison County Chamber of Commerce embracing the value of technology to our regional economy – today and in the future • HSV has been recognized by a variety of national organizations and publications – but not as an Advanced Defense Technology Cluster • ADTC proposal had three primary objectives: • Gain recognition for HSV as an Advanced Defense Technology Cluster • Provide the Region with a “draft” strategy for its technical assets and the pursuit of new R&D activities and projects with DOD and other R&D organizations • Act as a catalyst to get businesses in the community focused on advanced technology for government and commercial customers and to create new job opportunities • One commitment in the proposal was the formation of a Technology Committee within the HSV Chamber of Commerce – today that is a reality!

  5. HUNTSVILLE Contracting Mechanisms

  6. ADTC Project Focus Areas • Based on a mapping of regional technical assets, customer needs, and emerging markets, the HSV SBA ADTC Proposal indentified five technology focus areas: • Small spacecraft • Environmental monitoring • Intel-Surveillance-Recon • Robotics-Interoperable Systems • Innovative Energy Applications • After the contract award, the ADTC Project added Cyber Security as a sixth technology focus area • Overarching project goal is to link customer requirements to local assets or combinations of local assets & to identify the optimal procurement vehicle, to create new high technology related jobs

  7. Range of HSV ADTC Services • Core Services: Business Training and Counseling, Mentoring, Tech Transfer Counseling, Engaged with DOD SBIR Programs, Facility Clearance Support, Export Readiness Counseling Theme: Build on Existing Foundation of SBA Supported Assets • ADT Focused Services: Bid Matching, Prime Contractor Meetings, Specialized DOD Procurement Training (DOD and DARPA Proposals), Collaborative R&D Concepts, FastTrac Tech Venture Training, SBIR Proposal Activities, etc. Theme: Provide ADT focused services to regional small businesses • Integration Services: ID DOD customer requirements, ID technology solutions, assess small business capabilities, assess teaming arrangements, assessing procurement options, frame collaborative activities, etc. Theme: Match customer requirements with local technical assets and required procurement mechanisms – create new opportunities for HSV based businesses

  8. Introduction of ADTC Teams Markeeva Morgan ADTC Project Manager Glenn Priddy ADTC Lead - Technology Integration & Partnering

  9. Business Services Team

  10. ADT Technology Focus Areas Team

  11. Overview of HSV ADTC Initiative

  12. ADTC Project Goals, Objectives and Metrics

  13. Goals, Objectives, Metrics

  14. Linkage to Chamber Technology Committee

  15. Chamber Technology Committee • Initially designed with ADTC technology focus areas in mind • Technology focus areas will evolve over time • some will survive • some will disappear • some will be integrated • some will be reframed • others could emerge – for example Cyber Security or BioTech • Chamber Technology Committee is not constrained by the focus areas of the ADTC Initiative – but it is a key enabler for the ADTC Initiative • ADTC Initiative will reach out broadly to firms in the region – hopes to use Chamber Committee and its Subcommittees to refine its approach and methodology • At the end of the day would like Chamber Technology Committee to be a Standing Committee and the HSV ADTC Initiative to be a permanently funded activity with broad community support

  16. Current Huntsville ADTC Project Activities Small Spacecraft Environmental Monitoring Innovative Energy Applications • Arctic Domain Awareness – JCTD • EUCOM JUONs • NRO Technology Demonstration • FASTSAT-HSV • Arctic Domain Awareness – JCTD • NOAA UAV Initiative • PEOPLE-ACE JCTD • BRAC Activities – Proposed Grid-Independent Power Production • New Huntsville Energy Initiative Cybersecurity Intel-Surveillance-Reconnaissance Robotics / Interoperable Systems • New State-funded Advanced Robotics Technology Research and Development Center • Mayor-Sponsored Huntsville Cybersecurity Initiative • Recent proposal to ISR Task Force

  17. Pending ADA Mission Concept Note: DOD Team – NorthCom/EuCom/DDR&E

  18. HSV Energy Initiative for Redstone

  19. Next Steps for HSV ADTC • Publish key technology requirements for CoComs • Share initial DOD customer requirements • Develop searchable portal for collaboration among small businesses • Vet current portals for accessing Government requirements to introduce small technology firms to those that are most effective in identifying real procurement opportunities • Set dates for meetings with candidate technology focus area firms – firms that responded to ADTC survey • Meet with local technology groups to inform members of new initiative and opportunities • Cluster Meeting for Government Customers co-hosted by AMRDEC – January 13 (tentative)

  20. Next Steps for HSV ADTC • Offer specialized ADT training – JUONs, JCTDs, DOD, DARPA and NASA procurements to start • Vet Energy Initiative with DOE and DOD – identify other key procurement opportunities e.g. ARPA E Call for Proposals, DOD RFPs • Market some technology initiatives that validate the ADTC concept • Develop database of local small business capabilities and competencies • Conduct ideation sessions to assist technology firms in transitioning technologies and capabilities into solutions for customers • Work with SBA and DoD to improve communication between procurement authorities and small technology firms in Huntsville region
