9. Examples of the Changing (Changed) Environment
• Technology advances are now largely driven by Industry, not Govt.
• Hence the need for better visibility of Govt to Industry R&D.
• Pace of technological advancement is very very rapid.
• Faster than Govt can generate/upkeep a requirements document.
• Customer expectation that new programs will begin at high TRL.
• End Users want and expect solutions to their problems – quick & cheap.
