Operational Solutions

Support of operational commands and defense agencies often involves issues with grave consequences. We have a reputation for outstanding warfighter operational support based on precise identification of issues, absolute accuracy in developing solutions and the dedication to do whatever is required to provide timely and value-added responses.

DAC provides the warfighter with a wide range of services in support of their real world missions and corresponding training needs. At the high end, we provide critical assistance to combatant commands and defense agencies in resolving mission essential issues to include strategies, planning and resourcing. Our multi-dimensional capabilities extend to direct support for warfighter personnel of all services and command levels. We pride ourselves in being employee-owners with the experience, skills and commitment to provide the highest standards of service to those entrusted with the defense of our Nation.

MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS

STRATEGIC PLANNING

We provide concise and actionable goals, objectives, strategies, milestones and metrics based on measurable performance parameters that enable our clients to improve performance. We often assist our clients to re-energize their management systems through the various processes of: planning, organizing, staffing, leading, and controlling.

PROGRAM ASSESSMENT

Strategic and operational commands alike come to us for our proven abilities to analyze and evaluate plans, programs and budgets in relation to objectives. We are known for our ability to develop analytical tools and methods which clearly define issues and fully consider the contributions and impacts for all stakeholders inherent in alternative courses of action. Our tools include those that identify and measure gaps and redundancies in capabilities and resources, as well as assessing the associated risk. Our Program Analysis efforts include developing mechanisms to thoroughly understand and quantify complex management problems and to determine the best solution compliant with the needs of our clients.

BUSINESS PROCESS RE-ENGINEERING

We have many years of experience in analyzing the multifaceted issues involved with reorganizations and mergers. We interpret the results of these analyses to enable our clients to more efficiently align and integrate diverse functional elements. We are experts at providing mechanisms and processes to align management responsibilities and procedures to ensure efficient and effective results.

STRATEGIC COMMUNICATIONS

We are adept in providing clear and actionable guidance for achieving successful organizational performance. Our clients count on us to conduct research, synthesize issues and develop successful communication internal to the organization and effectively communicating with external activities.

DIRECT SUPPORT TO OPERATIONAL MISSIONS

REAL WORLD MISSIONS

We respond to worldwide contingencies, developing solutions that coordinate down links of commercial satellite imagery, facilitate information linkage in support of disaster relief operations, as we did in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, and integrate Geospatial Intelligence products to support military combat operations.

OPERATIONAL PLANNING

Our insight, knowledge, skill and sensitivity to user needs are the reasons why we are consistently requested to address complex strategic planning issues for the warfighter. We have developed plans for the Army Forces Strategic Command in highly technical fields such as Measurement and Signatures Intelligence and Space Force Enhancement which demonstrates our versatility in solving the difficult issues associated with these extremely complex arenas.

INFORMATION ASSURANCE AND COMPUTER NETWORK DEFENSE

No operation is secure without proper protection of the plans and mission execution information.  DAC supports timely, consistent, and coordinated information assurance management, network defense and controls validation testing to the field operations to support world wide information system capabilities across the Missile Defense Agency enterprise to include their mission, test, and administrative environments. 

We seek out and solve complex operational issues.  Due to our proven track record, we are routinely selected over our competitors by clients to overcome their toughest operational challenges.
