Technology Transfer and Development Team
Advances in technology, innovations, research and development of new technologies are constantly occurring in
government research facilities and managed programs. The Technology Transfer and Development Team can provide advice as to
how the new technologies, or technologies currently applied for a specific use, can be applied in different
sectors of industry, or consumer use. Transferring technology from the military or space exploration efforts to
the public in the form of new consumer goods and products have tremendous benefits to our society. Such examples
of success stories, prior to the formation of the Loucks Group, where technology was transferred from government
sponsored developed products and systems to the public include: Conversely, the military and space programs are looking to decrease the cost of new products
for use in their programs, and are looking to manufacturers for novel ideas and applications of their products.
Key programs include efforts to find improved energy sources, energy storage devices, more energy efficient products and
materials, methods of improving protective systems, and making missions easier and more effective. The Loucks
Group can provide manufacturers advice as to the possible applications of their products, the level of interest
that might exist within the government acquisition authority, and how the product may be modified or applied in
the military, or space setting.
