posed system that are considered to present high
risk, with such ground testing to make use of exist-
ing facilities and combinations of facilities that sup-
port testing at the highest possible levels of integra-
tion.

the capabilities of existing test facilities, or to con-
struct new test facilities, to support alternative com-
plementary test methodologies.

the program, where possible, of—
HR 2586 PCS
(A) methods referred to as ‘‘campaign test-
ing’’ and ‘‘test through failure’’ and other ap-
propriate test methods in order to reduce costs

ACQUISITION PROGRAMS.
(a) PROGRAM REQUIRED.—The Secretary of Defense
shall carry out a program to provide opportunities for the
increased introduction of innovative and cost-saving tech-
nology in acquisition programs of the Department of De-
fense. The program, to be known as the Challenge Pro-
gram, shall provide an individual or activity within or out-
side the Department of Defense with the opportunity to
propose alternatives, to be known as challenge proposals,
at the component, subsystem, or system level of an exist-
ing Department of Defense acquisition program that
would result in improvements in performance, afford-
ability, manufacturability, or operational capability at the
component, subsystem, or system level of that acquisition
program.
HR 2586 PCS
(b) PANEL.—(1) In carrying out the Challenge Pro-
gram, the Secretary of Defense shall establish a panel of
highly qualified scientists and engineers (hereinafter in
this section referred to as the ‘‘Panel’’) under the auspices
of the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Tech-
nology, and Logistics. The duty of the Panel shall be to
carry out review and evaluation of challenge proposals
under subsection (c).
(2) A member of the Panel may not participate in
any review and evaluation of a challenge proposal under
subsection (c) if at any time within the previous five years
that member has, in any capacity, participated in or been
affiliated with the Department of Defense program for
which the challenge proposal is proposed.
(c) REVIEW AND EVALUATION OF CHALLENGE PRO-
POSALS.—(1) Under procedures prescribed by the Sec-
retary, an individual or activity within or outside the De-
partment of Defense may submit challenge proposals to
the Panel.
(2) The Panel shall carry out an expedited evaluation
of each challenge proposal submitted under paragraph (1)
to determine whether a prima facie case has been made
that the challenge proposal will result in improvements in
performance, affordability, manufacturability, or oper-
ational capability at the component, subsystem, or system
HR 2586 PCS
level of the applicable acquisition program. If the Panel
determines that such a case has not been made, the Panel
may turn down the challenge proposal. In any other case,
the Panel shall provide for a full review of the challenge
proposal under paragraph (3).
(3) In carrying out a full review of a challenge pro-
posal, the Panel shall ensure the following:
(A) Any incumbent that would be displaced by
the implementation of the challenge proposal is pro-
vided notice of the challenge proposal and a full op-
portunity to demonstrate why the challenge proposal
should not be implemented.
(B) Notice of the full review of the challenge
proposal is published in one or more appropriate
commercial publications of national circulation.
(C) If one or more other challenge proposals
are submitted on matters relating to the challenge
proposal being reviewed, the Panel shall, to the max-
imum extent practicable, carry out a full review of
those other challenge proposals together with the full
review of the original challenge proposal.
(4) The Secretary of Defense shall ensure that the
Panel, in carrying out review and evaluation of challenge
proposals under this subsection, has the authority to call
upon the technical resources of the laboratories, research,
HR 2586 PCS
development, and engineering centers, test and evaluation
activities, and other elements of the Department.
(d) FINDINGS OF SUBSTANTIAL SUPERIORITY.—If,
after the full review of a challenge proposal is completed,
the Panel finds that the challenge proposal will result in
improvements 
in 
performance, 
affordability,
manufacturability, or operational capability at the compo-
nent, subsystem, or system level of the applicable acquisi-
tion program that are substantially superior to that of the
incumbent, the Panel shall submit that finding to the
Under Secretary.
(e) ACTION UPON FINDINGS.—Upon receiving a find-
ing under subsection (d), the Under Secretary shall carry
out a plan to acquire and implement the challenge pro-
posal with respect to which the finding was made. The
Secretary shall carry out such plan—
(1) after canceling the contract of any incum-
bent that would be displaced by the implementation
of the challenge proposal; or
(2) after an appropriate program milestone
(such as the expiration of such a contract) has been
reached.
(f) ELIMINATION OF CONFLICTS OF INTEREST.—In
carrying out each review and evaluation under subsection
HR 2586 PCS
(c), the Secretary shall ensure the elimination of conflicts
of interest.
(g) FUNDING.—Of the funds authorized to be appro-
priated by section 201(4) for Defense-wide research, devel-
opment, test, and evaluation for fiscal year 2002,
$40,000,000 shall be available in PE 63826D8Z for the
Challenge Program required by this section.
(h) REPORT.—The Secretary shall submit to Con-
gress, with the submission of the budget request for the
Department of Defense for each fiscal year beginning with
fiscal year 2003, a report on the implementation of this
section. The report shall include the number and scope
of challenge proposals submitted, reviewed and evaluated,
found to be substantially superior, and implemented.

effective in contributing the input of all levels be-
neath the senior leadership into the coordination,
focus, and content of the science and technology pro-
gram.
(C) Whether the designation of the commander
of the Air Force Materiel Command as the science
and technology budget advocate is effective to assure
that an adequate budget top line is set.

process is effective to aid in the coordination of the
needs of the Air Force warfighters with decisions on
science and technology investments and the estab-
lishment of priorities among different science and
technology programs.
