Federal law — U.S. Code and appendices · legal_authorities
**(a) Focus of research** In conformance with the Superconductivity Action Plan, the Secretary of Defense, in the superconductivity research and development activities of the Department of Defense, shall give emphasis to fundamental research, materials processing, and applications of new superconducting materials.
**(b) Additional activities** In conducting research under subsection (a), the Secretary of Defense shall—
(1) systematically define the engineering parameters for high-temperature superconducting materials; and
(2) conduct the necessary development, engineering, and operational prototype testing considered appropriate to the overall mission of the Department of Defense. Such operational prototype testing shall, where appropriate, utilize criteria developed by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency.
**(c) Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency** The Director of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency shall, in conformance with the Superconductivity Action Plan, conduct activities to—
(1) augment, as appropriate, basic and applied superconductivity research conducted in other Federal agencies and industry; and
(2) develop criteria for operational prototype testing within the Department of Defense.

**(a) Encouragement of Transfer Required.—** The Secretary of Defense shall encourage, to the extent consistent with national security objectives, the transfer of technology between laboratories and research centers of the Department of Defense and other Federal agencies, State and local governments, colleges and universities, and private persons in cases that are likely to result in accomplishing the objectives set forth in [section 4811(a) of this title](https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title10-section4811/a&num=0&edition=prelim).
**(b) Examination and Implementation of Methods To Encourage Transfer.—** The Secretary shall examine and implement methods, in addition to the encouragement referred to in subsection (a) and the program described in subsection (c), that are consistent with national security objectives and will enable Department of Defense personnel to promote technology transfer.
**(c) Program To Encourage Diversification of Defense Laboratories.—**
(1) The Secretary of Defense shall establish and implement a program to be known as the Federal Defense Laboratory Diversification Program (hereinafter in this subsection referred to as the “Program”). The purpose of the Program shall be to encourage greater cooperation in research and production activities carried out by defense laboratories and by private industry of the United States in order to enhance and improve the products of such research and production activities.
(2) Under the Program, the defense laboratories, in coordination with the Office of Technology Transfer in the Office of the Secretary of Defense, shall carry out cooperative activities with private industry in order to promote (by the use or exchange of patents, licenses, cooperative research and development a

The Superconductivity Action Plan shall in-
clude—
(1) goals and priorities for advanced super-
conductivity research and development to be
carried out by individual departments and

(2) the assignment of responsibility for the
conduct of advanced superconductivity re-
search and development among the depart-
ments, agencies, and organization elements
therein;
(3) recommendation of proposed funding lev-
els for activities relating to superconductivity
of the 5 years following November 19, 1988, for
each of the participating departments, agen-
cies, and organizational elements therein; and
(4) proposals for the participation by indus-
try and academia in the planning and imple-
mentation of the Superconductivity Action
