Sustainable Technology Demonstrations
The Department of War (DoW) Sustainable Technology Evaluation and Demonstration (STED) Program identifies sustainable technology/product need areas through outreach activities to DoW Installations, Military Departments and DoW Components. The DoW STED Program reviews these need areas to identify sustainable technology test and evaluation (T&E) opportunities. The DoW STED Team then examines performance requirements, identifies sustainable demonstration technologies and performs technology T&E in coordination with demonstration stakeholders.

Demonstration Approach
- Identify technology/product need areas and applications through outreach to DoW installations, Military Departments and DoW Components
- Engage DoW installations as potential demonstration sites
- Identify associated equipment and processes
- Work with Stakeholders to establish requirements for candidate demonstration technologies
- Identify potential demonstration technologies and engage technology manufacturers
- Evaluate technologies against established requirements to select candidates for demonstration
- Develop a demonstration plan to outline T&E activities, target technical requirements, site preparation and equipment requirements, procedures and parameters, data collection procedures, demonstration schedule and responsibilities of all organizations involved in the demonstrations
- Coordinate T&E activities and compile T&E results
- Develop a demonstration report to document T&E activities, analyze collected data, and provide the results of the T&E
- Engage GSA or DLA to facilitate establishment of National Stock Numbers and award schedules for successfully evaluated sustainable technologies
- Perform outreach activities to increase the awareness of sustainable technologies across DoW
