Technology Transfer Notes

TDAC actively engages and partners with government, industry, and academia to research, innovate, and apply verified analytic methods, models, and tools. TDAC’s primary function is to conduct systems and formation effectiveness analyses that inform key decisions for the Army, Joint Force, and the Office of the Secretary of War. To support this, TDAC develops and delivers validated weaponeering methods and is the authority for developing, maintaining, and sharing Army systems performance data. This is enabled by foundational activities, including scenario development and the use of unique experimental facilities such as its shielded anechoic chamber, the largest of its kind in the Army. Contact TDAC’s ORTA for more details on these world-class analytic capabilities.
