unding the government's share
iticipated activities in fiscal year
3.
JRPA issued an industry solici-
on in mid-May, inviting inter-
:d firms to submit proposals for
; sharing activities,
'reposals are to be submitted by
y 23, 1993.
These proposals will be sent to
ious government agencies for
iew and evaluation. Selected con-
ctors will be notified prior to the
1 of September 1993 so that con-
cts can be placed in this fiscal
ir.
»st Sharing Required
Successful bidders will be re-
tired to cost share the R&D activi-
;s. All programs have cost sharing
quirements of at least 50 percent,
lis cost sharing can be in a variety
forms:
—In-kind contributions may in-
ude matchingfunds from non-DOD
mrces, if statutes permit.
—IR&D maybe included if: using
cooperative agreement or other
ransaction; and, if proposal would
ave been allowed as contractor
R&D had there been no cooperative
.greement or other transaction.
—The cost of technology transfer
nay be included subject to mutually
igreed evaluation during contract
legotiation.
—In-kind value of equipment and
software may either be the purchase
sost or the depreciation during the
period of contribution. Deprecia-
tion method shall be the method
used internally by the contributing
organization.
The value shall be prorated ac-
cording to the share of its total use
on the proposed project.
—In-kind contribution of space
shall not exceed the fair rental value
and shall be prorated according to
the share of its total use on the
proposed project.
—Profits and fees on government
contracts may be included as cash
contributions.
Shibuilding Technology Focus
Eleven technology areas have
been identified by ARPA as most
critical for meeting defense needs
and having greatest potential for
commercial product development.
Shipbuilding has been identified as
one of these areas. According to
ARPA:
"While the international ship-
building industry is booming, the
nation's shipbuilding industry is on
the verge of collapse. The U.S. ship-
building industry has been assisted
by large DOD shipbuilding efforts
for many years. Current and pro-
jected Navy combatant/auxiliary
ship construction is insufficient to
maintain the industrial shipbuild-
ing capacity required for mobiliza-
tion. This effort is intended to assist
the U.S. shipyards and related in-
dustries to become competitive in
international commercial markets
and thereby preserve a viable ship-
building infrastructure for defense.
The effort will address innovative
ship design and construction pro-
cesses and ship systems technolo-
gies such as propulsion and auxil-
iary systems."
It is expected that a number of
U.S. shipyards and marine machin-
ery manufacturers will submit pro-
posals to ARPA for funding under
this program."
Long Term Plan For Ship-
building Support
According to an action plan pre-
sented at an industry-sponsored con-
ference, funding totalling $185 mil-
lion is projected to be available for
shipbuilding initiatives over the
next two years.
The level of funding is to rise to
$300 million in 1995 and $400 mil-
lion annually between 1996 and
1999.
This plan is, of course, subject to
budget constraints and future
spending priorities.
Among ideas under consideration
is creation of a National Maritime
Center.
The purpose of this center would
be to "wire together shipyard and
vendors" in an effort to jointly de-
velop new technology and share
breakthroughs.
The goal of the National Ship-
building Initiative is to ultimately
enable U.S. shipbuilders to capture
ten percent of the world shipbuild-
ing market and create 250,000 new
jobs.

WHY DOES THE U.S. NAVY CHOOSE EVERPURE
BR0MINATI0N SYSTEMS FOR DRINKING WATER?
Because they're safer, easier to use and
more accurate over a wider range of
water conditions. And they're less expen-
sive in the long run than chlorination,
without the taste and odor problems.
The U.S. Public Health Service, NSF
and CDC have given our bromination
equipment top approvals for shipboard
use. So have the U.S. and Canadian
Coast Guards.
