GAO wrote new technology often falls into the "valley of death," because buyers may want a "a higher level of technology maturity than the science and technology community is willing to fund and develop. The report concluded that DARPA's method of tracking "technology transition" - migrating projects out of laboratories into the commercial and military markets, or passing them along for further development - was unreliable, which could "undermine its ability to craft transition plans for new programs." The Government Accountability Office's recent report to Congress asserted that the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency's programs "generally seek to prove the art of 'what is possible' rather than refining, producing and delivering tactical equipment to warfighters."
The Pentagon's emerging technology agency is more interested in new ideas than it is in transitioning that technology out of development, a new watchdog report claims.
