The Dark Energy Survey (DES) will conduct a dedicated Supernova Survey to discover and obtain multi-band light curves of Type Ia supernovae over a broad redshift range of 0.1 < z < 1. We describe our hybrid survey strategy that targets both high-redshift SN Ia for improved constraints on dark energy, as well as SN Ia at intermediate redshifts to study their physical properties and to obtain a better characterization of systematic uncertainties. We also describe our plans for spectroscopic follow-up observations of the SN candidates and their host galaxies, a major complementary effort that will significantly enhance our overall science goals.
