Technology transition begins when the prototype changes owners
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has transferred an experimental H-60Mx Black Hawk equipped with Sikorsky autonomy technology to the U.S. Army for advanced operational testing. The transition marks the culmination of the Aircrew Labor In-Cockpit Automation System program.
It is a substantial technical milestone. It is also the beginning of a different kind of work: transferring enough knowledge, authority, and learning capacity for a receiving organization to make the capability its own.
