Acquisition Research Program at Naval Postgraduate School’s Post

How do we equip our warfighters faster, while balancing the government's need against contractors' intellectual property (IP) rights? That was the challenge tackled by one panel last spring at "Creating Synergy for Informed Change: Transitioning Technology to the Warfighter," the NPS 22nd Annual Acquisition Research Symposium and Innovation Summit. Chaired by Mark Krzysko, "Balancing Innovation and Protection: Decision Frameworks and Digital Maturity in Defense Acquisition," featured academic research into the thorny problems of IP and technical data management. Experts presented their investigations into and recommendations for transforming outdated acquisition processes, including new frameworks to navigate the complexities of data access, valuation, and protection. Papers and panelists included: ✴️ Balancing Access and Protection: A Decision Framework for Additive Manufacturing Intellectual Property Rights in Defense Acquisition presented by Dr. Waterloo Tsutsui, Senior Research Associate, School of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Purdue University ✴️ Integrated Digital Maturity Pathway for Technical Data Packages, presented by Dr. Darryl Draper-Amason, Old Dominion University ✴️ Time Value of Data Decision Modeling for Major Defense Acquisition Programs, presented by Frank Goertner, Director and Capstone Instructor, Technology Management Graduate Program, University of Maryland Check out the full discussion here: https://lnkd.in/e9fFFC5Y #defense #acquisition #ip #technology | Department of Defense Management at Naval Postgraduate School
