PROGRAM OVERVIEW:

DACID requires next-generation commercial digital intelligence, investigative, and threat mitigation technologies to support its Protective Services, Threat Management (TMU), and Protective Intelligence missions. Modern adversaries targeting DoW personnel, high-value assets, and critical Army infrastructure have migrated away from mainstream online spaces. Instead, they exploit decentralized, highly encrypted, and ephemeral digital networks to coordinate, radicalize, and plan hostile actions.
