Defense Digital Service (DDS)

Abstract

DDS was created to bring private sector software development best practices, talent, and technology to the Department’s hardest software and technology problems. Since its launch in November 2015, DDS has project demands from OSD that have increased exponentially; some of those requests would benefit from robust prototyping / proof-of-concept capabilities by DDS teams. The former is dependent on RDT&E funding that supports the ability to acquire the most current technological solution and/or support from vendors well versed in the most advanced technological solutions. The requested RDT&E funds will enable DDS to build prototypes and implement proof-of-concept tests for some key OSD projects. These projects will support missions in and out of theater, as well as long term goals of the department to modernize its offensive and defensive technological capabilities. DoD interest in leveraging DDS to operate in this area to solve hard and impossible problems is persistent. With appropriate funding, DDS can use the superior technical expertise of its staff, as well as ability to quickly deliver usable products to meet demand.
