Two Definitions; Two Goals … • Focus on Army Customers – The process by which
we identify, plan, develop, and infuse technology solutions into use by our Army customers in support of their daily operations.
• Focus on External Customers -- The process by which knowledge, expertise, and technology developed in Federal R&D laboratories or centers are made available for fulfillment of other public or private needs.
Partnering is a Critical Resource Multiplier to Achieve Both Goals
