... identified opportunities for improving the transfer of pollution prevention technologies to maintenance and rework facilities in the Department of Defense and to industrial manufacturing facilities performing defense-related operations. To facilitate the evaluation, four case studies of technology transfer were chosen that were representative of major industrial pollution programs in the Industrial Ecology Center and the Department of Defense.

... CRITERIA FOR SUCCESS IN TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER AT NDCEE Successful technology transfer occurs when the organization receiving a technology assumes the cost of using the technology as part of its normal operating expenses. Successful technology transfer requires implementation of new technologies, not simply demonstration or implementation only after extremely long delays.

From page 3...
... No matter what the environmental benefit, managers are understandably resistant to change in many defense systems, especially when lives depend on their successful operation. This cautious approach necessitates that the military system commands and the original equipment manufacturers be the primary arbiters of a technology transfer program's success.
