## Human & Robotic Technology(H&RT)Technology Database System BAA Supporting Information 

- 28 July 2004
- Douglas A. Craig
- Technology Integration Manager for Human and Robotic Technology
- Development Programs Division
- NASA Headquarters

## Objectives
Develop a data repository capability for both internal use in analyses and planning as well as for external communications. 

Scope
Data repository will be for Agency-wide use for providing H&RT technology information.  This information will include past technology development accomplishments, current technology development activities, and technology forecasting.
This activity will also develop integration capability to ensure consistency in the information captured in the repository.
