Bill overview
This bill authorizes the Department of Defense to run a pilot program to test a new approach to developing and acquiring software for military use, called ‘consumption-based solutions.’ These solutions would be billed based on how much they’re used, similar to services like Netflix or ride-sharing. The goal is to explore how these modern approaches can improve warfighting capabilities and potentially reduce costs.
