Support

The FY 2024 National Defense Authorizations Act (NDAA) directs The Under Secretary of War for Acquisition and Sustainment (USW(A&S)) and Under Secretary of War for Research and Engineering (USW(R&E)) to select the Head and Deputy Head of Joint Energetics Transition Office (JETO), respectively. JETO will establish and manage a DoW field activity dedicated to systems engineering associated with energetic materials. Additionally, JETO has been assigned strategic roles, tactical roles, coordination responsibilities, and directed studies. This new joint office is intended to improve the transition of energetic materials and technologies to programs of record. It will also result in cost savings through economies of scale and lower barriers for additional suppliers entering the market.
