Identifying Capability Gaps and Funding Opportunities Presented To: Navy Packaging Board Presented By: Raymond Chin, Container Design Engineer Naval Inventory Control Point April 23, 2009
Introduction • Packaging & Interface Technology Upgrades • Identify Process to Document Capability Gaps • Gather Concepts to Address Gaps • Match Ideas with Requirements
Data Calls / Solicitations ONR Technology Transition Programs • Rapid Technology Transition (RTT) • Provides bridge funds to transition new and emerging technologies into established programs of record. • Technology Insertion Program for Savings (TIPS) • Reduce operations and support (O&S) costs of naval systems and platforms through the transition of new and innovative technologies (strong cost avoidance). • Technology Transition Initiative (TTI) • Accelerates introduction of new technologies into operational capabilities for the armed forces, administered by OSD. • Seabasing Future Naval Capabilities (FNC) • Technologies that benefit seabasing (warfighting capabilities sustained from the sea without reliance on shore facilities) USTRANSCOM • Joint Deployment Distribution Enterprise (JDDE) Technology • Addresses operational challenges and capability gaps through RDT&E.
Data Calls / Solicitations (cont.) NAVSUP Technology Programs • Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) • Use small, socially or economically disadvantaged businesses to meet R&D needs related to technological innovations. • Small Business Technology Transfer (SBTT) • Similar to SBIR, but requires the small business to have a research partner consisting of a University, Federally Funded Research and Development Center (FFRDC), or a qualified non-profit research institution. • NAVSUP Capability Gaps and Initiatives • Initiatives aimed at addressing NAVSUP’s performance shortfalls or deficiencies. Material Readiness & Logistics (N4) • Energy and Environment Related Project Call (Due April 29) • Opportunity to obtain R&D funds for energy/environment related projects (e.g. facility improvements, alternative power, reduced food waste packaging)
Packaging Related Capability Gaps • List of Examples • Ineffective tools for container environmental management result in material damaged/degraded in storage/transit • Loss of item visibility & accountability • Lack of capabilities & integration to provide operational logistics support • Unrecyclable / Non-recycled waste • Supply services’ pollution
Submittals • List of Examples • Marine Biodegradable Plastics • Multi-Metal VCI (Volatile Corrosion Inhibitor) • Long Life Desiccant • Dynamic Dehumidification Process • Pallet Transformation • Alternate Materials for Reusable Containers • RFID Antenna Advances
What can we do better? • Stakeholder Input • Business Process Improvements • Use TARP as a resource • Identify process or technical issues • Document special interest items
Way Ahead • Maintain Running List of Ideas • Standardize Template for Submitting Ideas • Utilize PHS&T Community of Practice • Maintain Relationship with NAVSUP CSA • Submit Recommendations to NPB
Capability Gaps & Initiatives • Capability Gaps identify a performance deficiency (state a problem) • e.g., Current methodologies for protecting large quantities of high cost assets in storage or shipment are costly and occasionally ineffective, leading to damage or degradation of the “protected” assets. • Initiatives respond to a Capability Gap (help solve a problem) • e.g., Environmental sensors to monitor material in storage and in transit to proactively warn if protection is breached. Specific capabilities are required to mitigate humidity and temperature. • Align our efforts to solve the top problems • Limited resources must be applied judiciously • Communicate our problems to stimulate innovative & alternative initiatives/solutions • Can someone in NAVSUP help, but is not aware of the problem? • Can someone outside of NAVSUP help? Why Capability Gaps?
ESG Annual Duty Two Step process: • Generate capability gap list • Solicit capability gap inputs from NAVSUP Enterprise • Review & approve capability gaps • Allocate discretionary R&D resources • Solicit initiative inputs that respond to capability gaps from NAVSUP Enterprise • Prioritize initiatives & allocate resources
This Year’sCapability Gap Inputs • 13 Capability Gaps recommended • Aligned to 3 CDR’s Guidance focus areas: • Global Logistics Support (5) • Sailor & Family Support (2) • Alignment (6) • 1 additional Capability Gap proposed for Log R&D ESG consideration • Could be aligned to Global Logistics Support
This Year’sCapability Gap Inputs 13 Recommended Capability Gaps: 1 Additional Capability Gap for Consideration: 1.6 Supply Chain Threats
