Defense Acquisition Challenge (DAC) Program
Abstract
Authorized by Title 10, U.S. Code, Section 2359b, the Defense Acquisition Challenge (DAC) Program increases opportunities to insert innovative and cost-saving technologies into Department of Defense (DoD) acquisition programs. DAC funds the test and evaluation of technologies and products with potential to improve performance, affordability, manufacturability, or operational capability of current acquisition programs at the subcomponent, component, or system level. Reflective of DoD programmatic decisions, the Defense Acquisition Challenge program is terminated in FY 2012.
