This Program Information Package introduces the third open competition of the Technology Reinvestment Project. In most respects, this competition is similar to both previous offerings, with the prominent addition of new features which are designed to attract small-& medium sized business. The basic principles that characterize the TRP remain the same: open competition based solely on merit, Government as partner instead of customer, cost sharing between the Government and non government partners to cement commitment, and explicit dependence on the concept of dual use. Recent experience show that the last of these deserves special attention. The world of today is very different from the world of five years ago. What has not changed is the dependence of our military strategy on new technologies that provide greater capability over our adversaries. It is crucial that our access to these technologies that provide greater capability over our adversaries. It is crucial that our access to these technologies be not only timely but also dependable and unaffected by international stresses. Independently, our commercial strategy is becoming the same-produce the best technologies, get them into products ahead of our competitors, manufacture with the highest quality, and deliver at the lowest price. Here, there is significant potential for a leveraged approach. Where it is in the interests of both the defense and commercial communities to develop a new product technology, or refine a new manufacturing process, or to embrace a new standard, then there is every reason to work together. That is the essence of "dual-use."
