Department of Defense Technology Transition
D2R is now an archived project.
From 2016-2019, TT&IC executed the Defense to Response Technology Transition Program (D2R) awarded by the Domestic Preparedness Support Initiative (DPSI) in the Office of the Secretary of Defense.
The goal was to transition or advance late prototype phase technologies that had received funding from the Department of Defense to the public safety market within 9 months. Nine technologies were selected out of 34 semifinalists to work through the process.
