Defense Acquisiton Executive (DAE)

Abstract

The purpose of the Defense Acquisition Executive (DAE) Pilot Program is to: - Provide horizontal integration of operationally mature technologies supporting the U.S. Combatant Commands and provides initial sustainment into the joint force, until a Service or Defense Agency is able to maintain sustainment via an established Program of Record (POR). - Use Defense-Wide Program Elements (PEs) in Research, Development, Test and Evaluation (RDT&E) Budget Activity (BA) 5 for System Development and Demonstration and Major Equipment, Procurement funds (PE 0902198D8Z) for initial acquisition of equipment. A few of the attributes of the DAE Pilot program are: - Addresses a 2006 Quadrennial Defense Review (QDR) priority as an enabler to transition products and capabilities to the U.S. Combatant Commands and Joint/Coalition Warfighters. - Provides sustainment for critical operational "joint" capabilities of TRL 7 or greater maturity. - Integrates into programs beyond Milestone B accelerating a mature technology during the System Development and Demonstration phase, providing an avenue for operationally mature prototypes. - Fully integrates capabilities into an existing or new system being deployed resulting in greater success during Milestone C decision. - Joint Automated Deep Operations Coordination System (JADOCS) was first DAE project. JADOCS integrates 20 Service and Defense Agency C4ISR systems creating an interoperable, joint Common Operating Picture (COP) and coordination capabilities that enable time-sensitive targeting. Since 2006 the DAE Pilot program has supported core JADOCS programs across the U.S. Combatant Commands as it prepares to transition to the Department's Enterprise C2 System/POR (currently envisioned to be GCCS-J). - FY 2010 will support Agile Transportation 21 (AT21). AT21 is an operational logistics system at U.S. Transportation Command that has been identified for sustainment and transition to a new joint POR via the DAE Pilot. - FY 2011 the Defense Acquisition Executive Pilot funding will transfer to the JCTD BA3 PE.
