In 1999, the Commander of Air Force Materiel Command established the Applied Technology Councils for advanced technology demonstrations to facilitate the transition of technology projects to the warfighter. The audit examined 30 S&T projects (24 advanced technology demonstrations and 6 critical experiments) funded from the advanced technology development budget subcategory of the FY 2003 Air Force research, development, test, and evaluation appropriation. The 30 S&T projects were valued at $123 million. The 30 S&T projects had additional planned funding of $222 million from FY 2004 through FY 2007.
