Pentagon seeks ideas

[Elena A. Marchuk]

Peggy, you can look through Internet, as usual,

here is some info

      Why wasn't TRIZ known in the United States until recently?
      Before 1991, little or no knowledge transfer about TRIZ occurred
between the Soviet Union and the United States.

      Who markets the TRIZ methodology and TRIZ-based software products?
      The dissemination of TRIZ is taking place through educational
programs, software tools, publications and analytical services. Educational
programs are available from Ideation International, several training
organizations, and a number of independent TRIZ consultants. TRIZ-based
software products are available from Ideation International. Analytical
services are available from Ideation International, as well as several
independent sources. Note: Only Ideation International is marketing
proprietary information related to an advanced form of the TRIZ methodology.
All others market products that are based on Classical TRIZ.

      How can I learn about TRIZ and the Ideation/TRIZ Methodology?
      Contact Ideation International. We have the world's largest
concentration of TRIZ specialists and scientists involved in advancing the
methodology.

      What is a TRIZ "specialist"?
      A TRIZ specialist is an individual who has both extensive training in
the methodology (i.e., a thorough understanding of the theoretical base and
of the analytical and knowledge-base tools), and experience in applying it
in various engineering and business disciplines.


      Peggy,

      there is a strong team based in US already, but there is also "always
trained in difficult situations" in Russia.

      so just a little bit of it...

      OS could be the first stage for some insights to look first so it
would be also nice to start, as the teams of interests are organized and
then they start looking precisely. for example using TRIZ

      best wishes and let's start

      elena

> PENTAGON SEEKS IDEAS ON COMBATING TERRORISM
> The Department of Defense announced today that the Under Secretary of
> Defense for Acquisition, Technology and Logistics and the Combating
> Terrorism Technology Support Office Technical Support Working Group are
> jointly sponsoring a Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) asking for help in
> fighting terrorism.
>
> The BAA, issued Oct. 23 (No. 02-Q-4655), specifically seeks help in
> combating terrorism, defeating difficult targets, conducting protracted
> operations in remote areas, and developing countermeasures to weapons of
> mass destruction. Its objective is to find concepts that can be developed
> and fielded within 12 to 18 months.
>
> The BAA provides for a three-phase process in which interested parties
> initially submit a one-page description of their concept. Initial
responses
> are due by Dec. 23, 2001. After a review of a submission and if DoD is
> interested in further information, the submitter will then be asked to
> provide a more detailed description of up to 12 pages of the idea.
> Submitters of concepts that the department is not interested in pursuing
> further will be so notified.
>
> DoD will evaluate phase two submissions and ask those who have offered the
> most promising ideas to submit full proposals in a third phase that may
form
> the basis for a contract. Phase two submitters who are not asked to submit
> full proposals will be so notified. Submitters of a full phase three
> proposal that is not accepted by the department may request a formal
> debriefing. Debriefings will not be provided to phase one and phase two
> submitters whose concepts were not accepted.

> Interested parties can obtain more information concerning this BAA by
