On a test rig the DDS demonstrated the power of DAC earlier this year. The tactical system was shut down to simulate battle damage yet the ship was able to fight on by automatically reassigning other systems to take over the tactical role. Of course the tactical ability was reduced but the ship was still able to defend itself whereas if the ship had been without DAC it would be defenseless.
DAC is expected to be a future part of all DDS combat ships though at the moment there are only plans to fit it to Isometric ILUs and the forthcoming Berlin class.
