Advanced Concept Technology Demonstration

The following lists of ACTDs are separated into which year they were selected and approved during. Fiscal year 1995 Fiscal year 1996 Fiscal year 1997 Fiscal year 1998 Although not represented in this section, additional ACTDs indeed followed those listed above (during FY 1999–2006). == Congressional Budget Office assessments ==

Some of the Congressional Budget Office assessments, such as the CBO 1998 Memorandum, reviewed the ACTD program's progress since its initiation in 1994 up until the 1998 assessment. The memorandum summarized the results as "From 1995 through 1998, DoD has spent $3.2 billion on 46 ACTDs. The $3.2 billion represents about 2 percent of DoD’s entire budget for research and development during that time." The memorandum provided some details about the 46 ACTDs as of 1998, and highlighted the Medium-Altitude Endurance UAV (the Predator drone) as on its then successes, having transitioned into a formal DOD Acquisition Program. ==Outcomes==

The following programs were completed under the Advanced Concept Technology Demonstration framework: • Global Hawk • JSTOW ACTD as part of Joint Semi-Automated Forces • DarkStar == See also ==
