Technology Transition
Transition planning is the key to successful development, otherwise a developer has no market, and our users have no product. Don't let your project become homeless, plan ahead for transition.
-Tech Transition Program Manager
CTTSO supports national combating terrorism objectives by providing technology transition assistance to planners, developers, and users throughout the development cycle. Technology transition planning is integrated into the development phase of each project to identify and mitigate potential barriers. This process results in a smoother transition from prototype to an affordable, operationally suitable system for the user community.
