The Defense Technical Information Center (DTIC) has released
the initial version of the Technology Navigator, a web-based data
base of technology studies, pilot projects and other information
covering a wide variety of current and evolving technology
topics.
The Technology Navigator is being developed as an
information sharing and collaborative tool for industry, academia
and government agencies. It creates a forum for technologists,
project managers and senior analysts to share research data and
related information on products, studies, findings and pilot
programs. They can post events, discuss ideas and develop new
problem-solving applications to fit today's technologically fast-
paced and rapidly changing environment.
The Technology Navigator also provides an opportunity for
technology companies to showcase products and services over the
Internet to a worldwide government audience. At the same time,
users can be kept abreast of commercially available applications
and technologies.
Until June 1, 1997, the initial version of the Technology
Navigator can be viewed at http://www.mews.org/jto. In addition,
technology products and research items can be submitted to that
site. The operational site will be available after June 1 at
http://www.dtic.mil/technav.
The Technology Navigator will be demonstrated at the TechNet
97 exhibition, June 17-19, at the Washington
Convention Center, 9th Street and New York Avenue, N.W.,
Washington, D.C.
