Abstract :
One objective of the dual-use technology concept is to extract more value from the US Department of Defense (DoD) research and development spending. Defense´s National Airspace System program is acquiring commercial off-the-shelf and non developmental item equipment to satisfy the armed services´ air traffic control system modernization needs. The acquisition strategy co-opts elements of both classical DoD weapon system acquisition and proven commercial acquisition approaches.<>
