Innovation is the lifeline of national development. This handbook
is a collection of chapters that provide techniques and
methodologies for achieving the transfer of defense-targeted
science and technology development for general industrial
applications. The handbook shows how to translate theory and ideas
into practical applications. Experts from national defense
institutions, government laboratories, business, and industry
contributed chapters to this handbook. The handbook also serves as
an archival guide for nations, communities, and businesses
expecting to embark upon science and technology transfer to
industry. Included are several domestic and international case
examples of practical innovation. Since the dawn of history,
nations have engrossed themselves in developing new tools,
techniques, and methodologies to protect their geographical
boundaries. From the crude implements used by prehistorical people
to very modern technologies, the end game has been the same. That
is, to protect the homeland. Even in times of peace, efforts must
be made to develop new machinery, equipment, processes, and devices
targeted for the protection of the nation. The emergence of
organized nations and structured communities facilitated even more
innovative techniques of national defense. Evolution, revolution,
and innovation have defined human existence for millennia. From the
Ice Age to the Stone Age, the Bronze Age, the Iron Age, and to the
modern age, innovation, rudimentary as it may be in many cases, has
determined how humans move from one stage to the next. This
comprehensive handbook provides a clear guide on the nuances of
initiating and actualizing innovation. Both the qualitative and
quantitative aspects of innovation are covered in the handbook.
