ITCs answer to many masters. For example, the ITC for Northern Europe, located in Koblenz, Germany, has 29 unique stakeholders. ITC efforts ultimately give program managers options to answer technological challenges, with the tangible benefits of improved interoperability, cost savings and world-leading technology, but ITCs also plant seeds for research and development that will take decades to mature. All the while, the work ITCs do benefits the foreign partner providing the technology, too.
eight cross-functional teams. As scientists, engineers, program managers and cross-functional team leads encounter challenges with U.S. technology development, ITCs stand ready to help with long-established relationships and international collabora- tion tools. (See Figure 1.)
KEEPING TRACK Te CCDC is looking at various methods to track and categorize the wide variety of defense-related technologies in development around the world. Recently, it adopted the Vulcan database used
by the Special Operations Forces Acquisition, Technology and Logistics Center. Vulcan is a web-based scouting tool used to discover and facilitate the sharing of vendor technologies. Tis is a powerful step in the right direction for CCDC, even if Vulcan isn’t the perfect tool for the job. A consolidated database would amplify the collection of overlapping efforts from the interna- tional arena, which includes ITCs, the U.S. Department of State, DOD, sister services, and Army acquisition offices such as the deputy assistant secretary of the Army for defense exports and cooperation (DASA(DE&C)).
