Ensuring security and compliance in this instance takes Catapult’s expertise to a new level.”

Headquartered at Fort Belvoir, VA, the mission of the DAU is to provide a global learning environment to support a mission-ready defense acquisition workforce that develops, delivers, and sustains effective and affordable warfighting capabilities. DAU provides acquisition certification and leadership training; mission assistance acquisition organizations and teams; online knowledge-sharing resources; and continuous learning assets.
