Defense Technology Analysis
Abstract
The Defense Technology Analysis (DTA) project provides engineering, scientific and analytical support to the Office of the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Research in its responsibility for direction, overall quality, and content of the S&T program and ensures that the technology being developed is affordable and minimizes system development risk. The DTA program conducts assessments and analyses to ensure maximum utilization of research and development funds to accomplish the overall objectives of the S&T program. The Weapons Systems Acquisition Reform Act (WSARA) of 2009 expanded the role of the ASD(R&E) in acquisition decisions. Full implementation of the Act requires increases in both the number and depth of technology maturity assessments. Funds are required for technical, analytical, and management support, travel, and publications.
