SPAWAR's New Vision on Tech and Talent Transfer
 |

Many foundational and disruptive technologies have their origin in the military. GPS, CDMA, MEMS, Lasers and Robotics have Military “DNA.” The companies shown above have all benefited from tech transfer relationships with military/government labs. Sandia Labs, Lawrence Livermore, Los Alamos and SPAWAR share a key trait – all are multiprogram engineering and science laboratories. San Diego is fortunate to be home of SPAWAR San Diego Systems Center, an organization with a history reaching back to the turn of the century.
On May 12, 1906, a chief petty officer and two sailors drove a horse-drawn wagon to the downtown pier and loaded up a Massie 5-kw. transmitter/receiver, the state-of-the-art in communications. This was the new age of "wireless radiotelegraphy," which the Navy would eventually shorten simply to "radio." Their early experiments worked and a new Navy facility was soon commissioned as Navy Radio Station Pt. Loma, now known as SPAWAR Systems Center San Diego.
This SIG will provide insights into SPAWAR Systems Center technologies which could be utilized in the civilian sector. It will cover the process of successfully identifying and transferring military technologies to the civilian sector transfer. There are many examples of successful companies whom are the result of using Military invented technologies and in this event the panelists will address all issues and believed factors of success, including vehicles available to commercial partners for accessing government inventors and facilities and obtaining the services of the inventor of the technology or required technologist. SPAWAR will also explain their present motivations and policies and what they are willing to do to make technology transfer a success.
Don’t miss this chance to get an inside look on what you need to know to identify and get technology out of SPAWAR successfully.

PANELISTS:
Dr. Stephen Lieberman
Director, Technology Transfer (T2) Office at Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center Pacific
The mission of the T2 office is to facilitate the commercialization of government developed innovative technologies through negotiation of patent license agreements and via Cooperative Research and Development Agreements (CRADAs). He is also the Technical Program Manager for the Office of Naval Research sponsored Center for Commercialization of Advanced Technology (CCAT) Program. CCAT is a public-private collaborative partnership between academia, industry, and government that is focused on commercializing early stage technologies with applications for the Department of Defense and the commercial marketplace. From 2007 to 2008, Stephen served as the Far West Regional Coordinator for the Federal Laboratory Consortium (FLC), a nationwide network of federal laboratories that provides a forum to develop strategies and opportunities for linking laboratory mission technologies and expertise to the marketplace. He currently serves as the Deputy Far West Regional Coordinator for the FLC.
Dr. Lieberman holds a Bachelors degree in Chemistry from the University of California and received his Ph.D. in Chemical Oceanography from the University of Washington. He held a postdoctoral position at the California Institute of Technology. Stephen Lieberman has authored or co-authored more than fifty publications and is an inventor on more than 20 patents and patent disclosures.
