HISTORY OF ST. M ARY’S TECHNOLOGY INDUSTRY

St. Mary’s County was founded in 1634 by settlers pursuing economic opportunity and religious free-

dom. St. Mary’s City was the original capital of colonial Maryland from 1634 until 1694. In 1649 the

Maryland Assembly passed the Act of Toleration, a major step in the principle of freedom of religion in

America.

From the 1600’s through World War II, the majority of County residents were farmers and fishermen and

depended on natural resources for their livelihoods. In 1942 this all changed when the United States

Navy built the Naval Air Station Patuxent River (Pax River) to serve as a school for test pilots.

Many famous pilots and astronauts have been affiliated with Pax River, including Astronauts John Glenn,

Jim Lovell, and Alan Shepard, while Captain W.V. Davis, director of the Flight Test Division, became

the first Navy pilot to exceed the speed of sound on November 7, 1949. The U.S. Naval Test Pilot

School at Pax River enrolls students from many services and countries.

Specialized labs and other testing facilities were developed at Pax River in Lexington Park and Webster Field in St. Inigoes, including the Atlantic Test Range, and the Air Combat Environment Test and Evalu-

ation Facility ( ACETEF). The number of technology companies and aircraft developers grew in the

surrounding communities to support the work done at the Navy facilities. The consolidation of the Naval

Air Warfare Center- Aircraft Division (NAWCAD) and the recent relocation of the Naval Air System

Command (NAVAIR) to the Patuxent River complex, from Arlington VA, has created a full life-cycle,world-class center of excellence for maritime aviation research, development, and testing.

Today more than 19,000 government workers including military, civilian and defense contractors di-

rectly support the $18 billion business that is the Patuxent River Naval Air Station. Many companies are

attracted to St. Mary’s County due to the access of the state of the art federal laboratories. An active

technology commercialization initiative is underway in partnership with the Patuxent Partnership (TPP)

and Maryland’s Technology Development Corporation (TEDCO).

The growth of the Technology Industry in the County has caused Lexington Park to be designated asa

Micropolitan Statistical Area. This category refers to smaller scaled (less than 50,000 people) areas

that are hubs of activity for the surrounding region.

Technology companies in St. Mary’s County supply a full range of technological products and services

and span many disciplines. Their products and services are marketed to both the U.S. Government

and commercial sectors in the Mid-Atlantic region and world wide.

Pax River promises to grow with the addition of many large programs. These include the Joint Strike

Fighter (F-35), the Multi-Mission Marine Aircraft (MMA), Presidential Helicoptor (VXX), and the Un-

manned Aerial Vehicle, “Global Hawk.” Meanwhile, development and testing continues on large pro-

grams like the F/A-18 E/F and G, the V-22 Osprey and many others.

Doing Business With Us

Private sector access to federal facilities, laboratories and technology is authorized by statute. The termgenerally used is Technology Transfer. These arrangements benefit both the Navy and industry by maximizingthe use of Navy facilities, providing unique facilities for use by private parties and fostering healthy partnershipsfor this access between the Navy, industry, and academia. Technology transfer adds a valuable dimension togovernment sponsored research and development. It provides the tools for American industries to leveragetechnologies and bring new products to market. Mechanisms for technology transfer are described below.

The Commercial Service Agreement (CSA) is the primary method for private use of NAVAIR Aircraft Divisionactivities. Through this agreement, government expertise and facilities can be directly funded by industry to

perform services that are not commercially available. Frequently, the service provided is a unique technologyor testing capability.

A Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) is a legal instrument that allows one ormore federal laboratories and/or one or more non-federal entities to jointly conduct specified research anddevelopment-related technology transfer activities that are consistent with the mission of the laboratory.

The Patent License Agreement, (PLA) licenses commercial companies to exploit patented government-developed technology commercially. The federal government’s technology transfer policy is to promote theutilization and commercialization of inventions that arise from agency-supported research and development

through a PLA.
