DEFENSE ARSENAL AUTOMOTIVE OTA SCOPE Vehicle Light Weighting Vehicle Safety Technologies Autonomous Vehicle and Intelligent Systems Automotive

6 DEFENSE ARSENAL AUTOMOTIVE OTA SCOPE Vehicle Light Weighting Vehicle Safety Technologies Autonomous Vehicle and Intelligent Systems Automotive Cyber-security Overarching Automotive Technology Areas Connected Vehicles Active Suspension Technologies Advanced Energy Storage Propulsion Technologies 6

7 DA 2 OTA REQUIREMENTS) DA 2 is for prototype projects directly relevant to enhancing the mission effectiveness of military personnel and supporting platforms, systems, components or materials Prototypes may be hardware, software, process improvement, and proof of concepts Efforts must address one of the DA 2 Technology Areas Must meet one of the following conditions At least one non-traditional defense contractor participating to a significant extent All participants are small businesses or non-traditional defense contractors Cost sharing of one third is required of traditional defense contractors 7

8 DA 2 OTA UNIQUE FEATURES Open to all US Government Agencies; not just DOD Only funded requirements initiate White Paper Process Rapid response to requirements; 15 day turnaround for RWP & RFPP Collaboration between Government and Consortium member during requirements development and project definition activities Government and members negotiate Statement of Work, data rights and price for individual projects Simplified baseline data rights and copyrights With clear language allowing members and Government to propose and negotiate data rights for each individual project Project Agreements mainly Firm Fixed Price Cost type agreements will only be used when considered necessary 8

9 DA 2 OTA POTENTIAL) DA 2 s current available headspace value is $700 Million with a 7 year period of performance The primary purpose of DA 2 like other OTA s is to develop technologies through prototyping Prototypes can consist of theoretical ideas, integration efforts, components needed to address obsolescence, and most other situations where new items or technology can meet user needs 9

10 WHAT DO OTA s OFFER INDUSTRY? Entrepreneurial inroads to Government contracting opportunities Relief from Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR) Intellectual property rights are negotiable Flexible payment provisions No mandatory cost accounting/reporting No certified cost and pricing data Commercial standards Payments can be structured based on performance goals or events Firm Fixed Price Awards 10

11 DATC OVERVIEW DATC, formed by SAE ITC, on behalf of U.S. Army TARDEC and other government entities, provides a streamlined way for the military to efficiently access emerging automotive technologies DATC provides private, not-for profit and academic organizations with direct access to government projects, bypassing traditional procurement requirements Membership facilitates access to military decision makers seeking advanced automotive-related technology without the usual red tape 11

12 CONSORTIUM MODEL 12

13 WHY A CONSORTIUM? Consortium serves as focus point for the government Government is not a party to the Consortium Provides collaboration Promotes innovation but includes antitrust provisions Provides framework for a competitive process required by the government Only members are able to respond to project requests Members are sub-contractors via the Consortium Member Agreement and Project Agreement 13

14 WHAT DOES THE CONSORTIUM MODEL DO FOR YOU? Facilitates business and government relationships Allows for government and industry to communicate in one forum Provides better insight into government and industry needs, priorities and challenges Open communication between government customer and Consortium membership Government and members negotiate Statement of Work, data rights and price for individual projects Maintains effective competition Provides for early fund obligation 14
