Summary
Troubled Defense Programs Accountability Act - Prohibits funds appropriated for a major system from being released to the Secretary of the military department concerned until the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition finds, and the Comptroller of the Department of Defense concurs, that the system meets established requirements and criteria (in terms of cost, schedule, technical specifications, and testing). Authorizes the Comptroller to release funds for a major system to the extent necessary to enable the system to meet such requirements and criteria. Requires the Secretary of each military department, at the beginning of each fiscal year, to establish a funding schedule (expressed as projected costs for meeting requirements and criteria) for each major system. Directs each Secretary to maintain and update such schedules to reflect changes in requirements, criteria, and projected costs. Requires the Comptroller to review such schedules.
