RE:NEW but in my opinion, EXPECTED after PDAC About the DPA Investments Program:
The DPA Investments Program of the Department of Defense is dedicated to ensuring the timely availability of domestic industrial resources to support national defense and homeland security requirements now and in the future. The Program works in partnership with the Military Services, other government agencies, and industry to identify areas where critical industrial capacity is lagging or non-existent. Once a need is identified, the Program engages with U.S. and Canadian companies to mitigate these risks using grants, purchase commitments, loans, or loan guarantees. By executing its mission, the DPA Investments Program reduces the Nation’s reliance on unreliable foreign sources, ensures the integrity of materials supplied to the American Warfighter, and helps create a resilient, robust, and secure defense industrial base.
