A. Mission Description and Budget Item Justification

Current ground combat vehicle platforms and tactical wheeled vehicles lack the ability to effectively detect, track, divert, disrupt, neutralize, or destroy incoming direct or

indirect fired threat munitions. Current solutions to defeat these threats, Explosive Reactive Armor (ERA) and Slat armor, do not provide preemptive or active protection

and impose secondary blast hazards to crew, dismounted soldiers, and adjacent vehicles and equipment. The Suite of Vehicle Protection Systems will develop, mature

and integrate solutions onto multiple ground combat vehicles and tactical vehicles to increase the protection of the Army's ground systems from both current and next

generation direct or indirect fired threat munitions.

The Vehicle Protection Suite (VPS) Project (FE8) will design, mature, integrate, update, evaluate and field combinations of active, reactive, and passive protection capabilities. VPS leverage both Horizontal Technology Integration (HTI) principles and the Modular Open System Architecture (MOSA) with the Army's Vehicle Protection System Base Kit (VBK) and VPS Intelligent Protection Engagement Response Software (VIPERS) to develop tailored vehicle Survivability Sets specific to platforms. VPS Survivability Sets will mitigate existing protection gaps and allow for rapid future technology insertion that mitigates and defeats evolving threats while minimizing the impact to the current capabilities hosted on Army ground combat and tactical vehicles. The protection capabilities will leverage technologies across a spectrum of survivability mechanisms including detection avoidance, threat detection, threat intercept and threat mitigation.

The total cost of the Soft Kill Active Protection System (APS) Middle Tier of Acquisition effort is $134.28 million RDT&E from FY25 to FY28, which is a subset of the Project FE8 Vehicle Protection Suite funding.

A. Mission Description and Budget Item Justification

This program element encompasses engineering and manufacturing development for artillery weapons systems.

Project 516 is to modernize the field artillery to address obsolesce, improve performance and address emerging threats. The Self-Propelled Howitzer is an indirect fire weapon system with the ability of delivering accurate, long range, lethal and non-lethal cannon fires in support of both Combined Arms Maneuver (CAM) and Wide Area Security (WAS) operations. The Self-Propelled Howitzer and Ammunition Resupply Vehicle can be employed within any Brigade Combat Team formation to neutralize, suppress, or destroy enemy forces, while providing protected transport of a field artillery howitzer section on the modern battlefield. This effort will include system usage and optimization studies, simulations, development engineering, Line Replacement Unit (LRU) prototype development and procurement and validation for incremental upgrades of field artillery.

Project DH7 supports howitzer efforts required to achieve highly mobile, survivable, versatile, transportable, long range, lethal fires in support of the Army's Field Artillery modernization objectives. These critical development efforts provide an enhanced capability reducing emplacement and displacement times, increasing crew survivability and protection, providing greater mobility, and affords improved fire support capability for Field Artillery formations well beyond the capability of the current howitzer systems. Fiscal Year (FY) 2027 funding will continue to support the enhancements, integration, and testing of system of systems to include, but not limited to, artillery weapon system, ammunition, and fire control systems required to achieve desired firing range and lethal fires effects on targets, as necessary for Artillery unit operations.

Project DP3 supports the mission of the Mobile Tactical Cannon (MTC) program which is to acquire an improved, mature, and available self-propelled artillery system and associated Resupply Vehicle (RSV) to replace legacy artillery systems. These systems will enable artillery formations to shape the deep fight and dominate the close fight during Multi-Domain Operations. Collectively, the MTC and RSV will provide a decisive advantage by delivering massed lethal effects at extended ranges with increased rates of fire, enhanced mobility, reduced mission cycle and resupply times, and provide a high level of survivability on the modern battlefield. To respond to current and emerging threats, these systems will have margin for growth and be able to integrate current and future technologies, such as, but not limited to counter-small unmanned arial system capabilities, armament and mobility enhancements, human-machine and human-factors modifications, partial-to-fully automated ammunition handling, and partial-to-full autonomy for the MTC and RSV.

Change Summary Explanation

FY 2027 funding increase reflects the addition of project DP3, Mobile Tactical Cannon (MTC) which is not a new start. Project DP3 is a continuation effort that started in FY 2024 and has been realigned from program 0203743A, project FF9. The overall increase in FY 2027 for project DP3 from the former project FF9 is due to increased prototypes required for development efforts, U.S. ammunition compatibility, and interoperability into U.S. fires network.

Remarks D. Acquisition Strategy

The MTC program will enter a Middle Tier Acquisition - Rapid Prototyping (MTA-RP) acquisition pathway using mature and available, self-propelled artillery system

to characterize and refine MTC requirements. Integration and development activities will include U.S. fires network integration, U.S. ammunition and autoloader

compatibility assessments, and the development of an RSV.

A competitive Other Transaction Authority (OTA) will be used for the MTC effort, with planned follow-on production activities. The RSV effort will use a Commercial Solution Offering (CSO) for developmental and prototyping activities, with a planned production follow-on.

Testing activities will support the safety certification required for Soldier operation during a user experimentation event in FY 2028. Safety testing will encompass armament evaluation, live fire and vehicle performance testing, ammunition safety and qualification, supportability and cybersecurity assessments prior to Soldier experimentation.

The MTA-RP phase will culminate with Soldier experimentation event(s) to validate MTC and RSV performance against U.S. standards and provide residual capability informing the FY 2028 production decision.

Concurrently, the MTC program will execute production onshoring in preparation for anticipated follow-on production activities. On shoring will include substantial final assembly, the use of the existing Organic Industrial Base (OIB) and maximizing the use of the domestic (U.S.) supply chain to ensure supply chain resiliency.

Upon successful prototype testing completion, the program plans to transition into a Middle Tier Acquisition - Rapid Fielding (MTA-RF) or Major Capability Acquisition (MCA) pathway to field decisive fires capabilities to U.S. field artillery formations.

A. Mission Description and Budget Item Justification

Project HB6 supports the mobile howitzer program. The Mobile Howitzer is a Self-Propelled, Wheeled Howitzer that provides lethal, proactive counter-fire essential for

the survivability of the maneuver formations and other close support fires as required. The Mobile Howitzer improves the Field Artillery Battalion's ability to maintain

pace with its supporting maneuver formations and survive against responsive, counter-fire from near-peer threats with rapid displacement and emplacement times.

The mobile howitzer will improve tactical mobility and system survivability compared to existing towed howitzer systems. Development efforts, prototyping, system

evaluations, and technology evaluations will focus on attributes such as improved emplacement and displacement times, driving speed, and crew protection capabilities,

all without sacrificing lethality versus existing and future towed howitzer systems. Technology evaluations will leverage both 105mm and 155mm howitzers to understand

benefits and limitations of potential enabling technologies.

The Army Human Resource System Project (099) contains the following programs: ArmyIgnitED Modernization managed by the Capability Program Executive

Enterprise Software and Services (CPE ES2) and Regional Level Applications Software (RLAS) managed by United States Army Reserves (USAR).

1. ArmyIgnitED: In support of recruiting and retention for a more educated workforce, ArmyIgnitED supports the Army Credentialing and Education Division (ACED) 24/7 virtual financial management portal, and decision-support tool for 1) Active Duty, US Army Reserves and Army National Guard Soldiers to request Tuition Assistance (TA); 2) Cadets to request scholarship payments and 3) Department of the Army (DA) Civilians and Apprentices to request professional development funds. As an enterprise system, ArmyIgnitED streamlines eligibility verification for higher education funds and increases efficiencies through automated processes. The system supports Soldiers, Scholarship Cadets, DA civilians and apprentices pursuing post-secondary educational goals and professional development objectives. Army education counselors use it to provide educational guidance; Career Program Managers and Training Managers use it to manage civilian training; and Academic Institutions use it to deliver degree and course offerings and to report user progress and degree completions for approximately 1.4 million Soldiers, Cadets and civilians. ArmyIgnitED includes an automated registration tool that enforces policies and procedures, serves as a financial feeder for automated financial transactions, tracks academic / training progress within the system, and provides visibility of financial management and regulatory compliance of enrollment processes. ArmyIgnitED is hosted in the Air Force's Amazon Web Services (AWS) GovCloud (Cloud One) environment.

FY 2027 dollars in the amount of $1.566 million will continue to support enhancements during the CI/CD phase. Planned capabilities include interface development as mandated by Army Vantage, deliver the Civilian Training Opportunity (CTO) capability, and support for Institutional Delivered Credential (IDC) tracking and processing.

2. Regional Level Application Software (RLAS): RLAS is the United States Army Reserve Command (USARC) developed web-based application designed to assist Army Reserve Unit Commanders in accomplishment of critical day to day administrative tasks that support data information flow throughout all echelons Command levels within the Army Reserve. As the Army Reserve is geographically dispersed, RLAS efficiently leverages technology and remote execution of the following tasks:

(1) Processes personnel actions to update USARC's official personnel database of record and maintain functionality of personnel actions not subsumed by IPPS-A;

(2) Initiate, process, approve, publish and distribute Soldier Active Duty (AD) orders for Annual Training (AT), Active Duty Training (ADT), Active Duty Training School (ADTS), and Active Duty Orders Special Army Reserve (ADOS-RC); (3) Distribute, control, and execute Reserve Personnel Army (RPA) Appropriation for Request for Orders and Additional Drill Assembly processing; (4) Automated preparation and submission of Army Reserve Soldier AD Orders and Inactive Duty Training (IDT) payment requests; (5) Automated preparation and maintenance of Army Reserve Unit training schedules; and (6) Maintains reporting capabilities of critical personnel and resource management data for Army Reserve Commanders, USARC Staff, and Command echelons above and throughout USARC.

Planned capability enhancements include: Significant updates to coincide with Voluntary Education program policy changes, establish an interface with Army Vantage, make updates to software to stay in compliance with security requirements, and the maintenance of interfaces to meet updated data requirements. FY 2027 Plans: FY 2027 dollars in the amount of $1.566 million will continue to support enhancements during the CI/CD phase. Planned capabilities include interface development as mandated by Army Vantage, deliver the Civilian Training Opportunity (CTO), and support for Institutional Delivered Credential (IDC) tracking and processing. FY 2026 to FY 2027 Increase/Decrease Statement: ArmyIgnitED is currently in the CI/CD phase. The increase from FY 2026 to FY 2027 reflects the cost of required enhancements and ongoing development efforts.	2.823	1.374	1.566
Title: Regional Level Application Software (RLAS) Description: The United States Army Reserve (USAR) utilizes the Regional Level Application Software (RLAS) as an enterprise system for duty attendance, military pay, Soldier records management and training calendar management to access, transact, store and manage Soldier and unit data required to conduct synchronized USAR operations. Unlike the Army Active Component (AC) where Soldier military pay is centrally managed and input at the installation level, the USAR utilizes RLAS to manage and input decentralized Soldier pay transactions at the unit level. RLAS consists of three modules: Training, Personnel, and Resource Management. R&D authority and funding will meet the USAR Staff Judge Advocate (SJA) and Office of the Secretary of War	0.294	-	-

A. Mission Description and Budget Item Justification

Research related to the Army Suicide Prevention Program enhances the Army's ability to prevent suicidal behaviors by increasing understanding of risk and protective

factors and by developing and testing interventions. Research in this area supports development and modification of policies, programs, and practices that address

suicide prevention and related harmful behaviors that are devastating to the Total Army and its mission. This program also helps DoW ensure Service members start

their military career with the skills and knowledge needed to be successful and to confront, overcome, and/or grow from challenges faced both in their military career and

personal life.

Research in this program will result in more precise determinations of potential for future successful service, and more targeted identification of individual or unit-level needs (e.g., requirements for intervention, training, and/or behavioral health services). Continued funding supports a comprehensive approach to the prevention of harmful outcomes for Soldier and ensures the Army's ability to meet mission requirements in the current and future operating environments.

FY 2027 funding in the amount of $2.160 million will expand efforts to assess and address risk and protective factors related to suicide, particularly in high-risk formations like combat units. The study will examine links between harmful behaviors and identify ways to strengthen Army leaders' ability to foster protective environments and improve access to services. Funding will also support the development and validation of tools, training, and organizational frameworks aimed at reducing harmful behaviors and improving outcomes throughout the Soldier Lifecycle, from selection and training to leadership development.

Title: Army Suicide Prevention Description: This program supports retention and readiness by enhancing the Army's ability to identify individuals with a higher likelihood of having already experienced, or of potentially experiencing, sub-clinical behavioral issues, and by addressing factors that contribute to increased risk and/or serve as protective factors for suicide. Research in this program has expanded the Army's understanding of risk and protective factors associated with suicide, examined suicide "clustering/contagion" in the military context, and identified current non-commissioned officer (NCO) knowledge, skills, and training associated with recognizing and addressing Soldier needs. Future research will build on previous efforts resulting in more precise measurement of individual resilience skills, trauma informed training for leaders who interact with high-risk Soldiers, and data on the effectiveness of existing and newly identified individual and unit prevention efforts. Work in this program is performed by the Directorate for Prevention, Resilience, and Readiness in Arlington, VA.	2.072	2.145	2.160

A. Mission Description and Budget Item Justification

The efforts under this project support the Army's Human Resources Information Technology needs.

1. Human Resource Command (HRC) Core IT: 1. The Human Resource Command (HRC) Core IT program develops and tests IT solutions to support the Army's Warfighter Support Mission and future needs. It focuses on enhancing logistics, personnel, transportation, training, medical/health protection, and sustaining base functions. The program aims to streamline applications, upgrade the Army Selection Board System (ASBS-S) to meet Army Common Operating Environment standards, and complete limited portions of ASBS-S Phase III / ASBS 2.0 development previously determined to be RDT&E in order to complete the subsumption of legacy applications supporting selection board preparation, post-board analysis and reporting, special board execution (including GO, Promotion, and Special Boards), and exemplary performance processing. USAHRC will ensure compliance with Army Common Operating Environment standards through the Army Application Management Business Office (AAMBO). This program supports efforts to plan, design, develop, and test Information Technology (IT) solutions to fulfill the Army's Warfighter Support Mission, accommodate emerging Army requirements, and fulfill Future Army needs. Ongoing development efforts support Army Selection Board processing across functional areas and components.

FY 2027 dollars in the amount of $0.949 million will be used to complete the ASBS-S Phase III / ASBS 2.0 development. This will involve integrating legacy applications that support selection board preparation, post-board analysis and reporting, special board execution (including GO, Promotion, and Special Boards), and exemplary performance processing. meets compliance with Army Common Operating Environment standards in accordance with Army Application Management Business Office (AAMBO).

2. Army Records Information Management System (ARIMS) is the Army's policy and enterprise system deployed to meet statutory (36 CFR) and regulatory (AR 25-1, AR 25-400-2, E.O. 13526) requirements to manage records that document the policies, decisions, and actions of the Army both as a military department and federal institution. ARIMS supports approximately 58,000 registered users with tools and capabilities to collect and preserve Army records, serves as the records management component of the Army Electronic Archives (AEA), and the Secretary of the Army has mandated its use to collect and preserve Army records. ARIMS is in production on the SIPRNet with ARIMS-Classified (ARIMS-C) to provide similar capabilities for the collection and preservation of the Army's classified records. ARIMS is an integrated system that supports the SecArmy objective to integrate management systems for the Army's records management programs and business operations. This line item funds for system, network, and application sustainment for the ARIMS and ARIMS-C infrastructure. Technology changes, integration, and systems migration require contractor support to ensure the AEA continues to preserve essential electronic records. These activities support the ARIMS applications and comply with the SecArmy and Senior Army leadership to integrate and standardize management systems for business operations. Failure to fund will result in the loss of expertise and in extensive down time in the event of any hardware or software failure in the ARIMS infrastructure. ARIMS downtime precludes the collection and preservation of the Army long-term important records (such as past Contingency Operations (CONOPS) records). As a web-based and customized GOTS system, ARIMS is dependent on

Date: April 2026Exhibit R-2A, RDT&E Project Justification: PB 2027 Army

private industry expertise to conduct troubleshooting and correction of any application or operating system component that is the foundation of the ARIMS and ARIMS-C systems. These skill sets are not maintained by government staff and must, by DoD directive (C3I), be acquired from the private sector.

Numerous Army-wide missions and programs which are supported with both enterprise and non-enterprise applications and a datacenter. All are designed to streamline production to meet statutory requirements, Presidential directives, and achieve senior leader guidance production for Army level requirements. Programs include: Army Declassification (ADAMS), FOIA (FACTS and FOIA Library), Privacy (PATS), Records Management (ARIMS/ARIMS-C/AAO/Army Capstone).

-Records management including office symbols, correspondence, management information control, and addresses (5 USC, 36 CFR; 44 USC 3601-3606; overseeing compliance with Presidential Memorandum; Public Law (PL) 106-58; and OMB/National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) Directive Managing Government Records Directive M-12-18), and Memorandum M-23-07, Transition to Electronic Records. -Army FOIA Programs (Presidential Directives on Transparency and Open Government, FOIA Improvement Act of 2016, Open Government Act of 2007, E.O. 13392, 5 USC 552 and 552a (as amended), PL 110-53, and PL 106-554).

-Army Privacy/Civil Liberties Programs, 5 USC 552a as amended, Section 803 of PL110-53 and DoDI 1000.29.

FY 2027 dollars in the amount of $2.242 million will modernize record-keeping through advanced application software, improving efficiency, accessibility, security, and scalability. Automation will reduce human errors and streamline workflows, enabling cloud-based and mobile access for authorized personnel to enhance collaboration and decision-making.

3. Family Advocacy System of Records (FASOR) is the information system used by the Army to manage child and adult based abuse incidents referred by the Family Advocacy Program (FAP). FASOR is used to capture/perform incident case management and allows for standardization of reviews and incident determinations. FASOR is a key system used in FAP Army Central Registry (ACR) background checks when determining suitability of individuals to be placed into "positions of trust". Finally, FASOR facilitates reporting and data analysis in support of internal, Army, DoW, FOIA and Congressional requirements. Once integrated, FASOR will also capture all restricted reports for Congressional reporting as well as transitional compensation applications and outcomes.

FY 2027 dollars in the amount of $1.114 million continue the extensive software development needed to ensure compliance with both NDAA Statutes and DoDI 6400 Series Regulations. This modernization contract ensures continued translation of the FASOR legacy code to the new database needed to sustain compliance with both DoW and Army FAP regulatory requirements while creating new effective modules in managing the Incident Management process.

4. Army SHARP Data Management System (DMS) - Funding for Army Prevention Data Management supports the development of an integrated prevention data infrastructure that will provide stabilization and standardization for prevention data collection, analysis, visualization, and reporting requirements. Prior year dollars supported advanced analytics capabilities, business intelligence capabilities, and predictive analysis for SHARP Data to inform prevention efforts.

A. Mission Description and Budget Item Justification

This project funds information technology systems that support Army Training. The two systems under FM8 are described below. Of those, the Army Training

Information System (ATIS) is an Army priority and the focus of the major investment in FM8. ATIS directly supports two of the four Army Unit Readiness Priorities

Training and Leader Development and serves as an enabler for Manning, Equipping, and Scheduling.

1. Army Training Information System (ATIS)

Problem Statement: The Army's current collection of non-integrated training information systems provides limited utility with data that is unreliable, un-trusted, inaccessible, and not responsive to user needs. Sustaining these systems, with their various architectures, standards, and service providers results in higher operating and sustainment costs to the Army.

Objective: Collapse 20 legacy systems into a single portal supporting 5 training capability areas.

Solution: Utilizing Commercial Off the Shelf (COTS) software ATIS will deliver a single portal enterprise training environment capability encompassing scheduling, training development, learning content management, training management, and resource management for all individual, as well as collective training and education. As ATIS is fielded, the Army will reduce the overall cost of the training environment by retiring the duplicative, stove piped systems and improve performance with a data-centric, governed, and architecturally compliant system. ATIS will sunset 20 antiquated information training systems costing over $75M annually.

- Training Development: provides ability to develop and coordinate information, including training packages, training events, courses, and exercises.

- Training Management: provides centralized ability to access and manage information, including individual and collective/unit training that supports mission tasks and individual training records.

-Enterprise Scheduling: provides a single integrated set of applications to schedule training resources, including transportation, classrooms, ranges, supplies, and mandated legal/social individual and unit training.

-Content Management: provides centralized access to training information anytime, anywhere, including educational and professional instruction.

-Resource Management: provides ability to manage availability/sustainability of training enablers and resources.

Without ATIS, Army organizations will continue to maintain an abundance of legacy systems that have redundancies across functionality and capability, which contributes to redundancy and discrepancies in data, thus inhibiting efficient use of training resources (people, time, money, material) and inhibiting leaders' ability

Exhibit R-2A, RDT&E Project Justification: PB 2027 Army			Date: April 2026
Appropriation/Budget Activity 2040 / 5	R-1 Program Element (Number/Name) PE 0605013A / Information Technology Dev elopment	Project (Number/Name) FM8 / Information Technology for Training Systems

to address training readiness at every echelon of the Army. ATIS is being postured to best support DoW and Army Digital Modernization Strategic Initiatives as the authoritative source of data for Training and Readiness information.

FY 2027 RDTE dollars in the amount of $11.047 million will enable ATIS to sunset SRP GIS TK, SRPP, TSIMS, Institutional Training. Features of the sunset systems will be delivered in continuous integrated releases of capability in accordance with Agile Project Management's Continuous Integration/Continuous Development (CI/ CD) model. Development will utilize the robust ATIS infrastructure along with COTS products to continuously improve the quality of software features delivered, improve resource utilization, reduce manual errors through the use of automation in testing and integration, and ensure increased efficiency over time through the use of iterative processes. ATIS has also built a refined backlog of Agile work artifacts that not only delivers the requirements as prioritized but also reduces risk to usability through the incorporation of end-user feedback on design.

2. Defense Language Proficiency Test, version 5 (DLPT5) Content Analysis, Categorization & Modeling (CACM). The DLPT5 Content Analysis, Categorization, and Modeling (CACM) contract is in direct response to Defense Language Institute Foreign Language Center (DLIFLC)'s DoD Instruction assigned responsibilities for DLPT item bank maintenance, psychometric analysis, and informed pool management, and closely support the DLPT Validity Framework. This project enhances the DLIFLCs ability to efficiently execute high quality DLPT development processes through the integration of benchmark automation capabilities. Accomplishments include: developed and delivered initial AI assisted item generation capabilities; developed and delivered on-demand ordered similarity analysis capabilities; developed and delivered integrated audio quality analysis capabilities; developed and delivered integrated textual analysis capabilities; developed and delivered integrated conversational analysis capabilities; developed and delivered integrated audio quality analysis capabilities; developed auto-triage of examinee comments capabilities; developed and delivered automatic machine translation capabilities; developed and delivered integrated unordered similarity analysis capabilities; developed and delivered integrated Auto-ILR capabilities in 32 languages; developed and delivered integrated machine transcription capabilities in 6 languages; developed AI assisted English evaluation; and, developed and delivered annotator alignment analysis capabilities in 2 languages.

FY 2027 dollars in the amount of $1.177 million support the DLPT5 CACM. The DLPT5 CACM contract is in direct response to DLIFLC's DoW Instruction assigned responsibilities for DLPT item bank maintenance, psychometric analysis, and informed pool management, and closely support the DLPT Validity Framework. Continued development of these capabilities will ultimately result in cost savings for the Government due to reduced dependencies on contracts and outside-expert deliveries.

Title: Criminal Investigative Management System (CIMS) Description: Criminal Investigative Management System (CIMS). CIMS is a collection of mission essential information technology (IT) systems that supports the DACID, the Office of the Provost Marshal General (OPMG), the U.S. Criminal Justice Information Directorate (CJID), the Army Military Police School (USAMPS), and other DoW Law Enforcement (LE) entities and stakeholders. Through CIMS, the DACID and the OPMG developed an integrated and unified, comprehensive enterprise program / system that houses both classified and unclassified Law Enforcement Sensitive (LES) data, leveraging existing and future Army LE information technology assets and other external data sources, and providing a full range of law enforcement functions. The primary component of CIMS is a comprehensive enterprise system known as the Army Law Enforcement Reporting and Tracking System (ALERTS) providing Army LE stakeholders the enhanced capability to rapidly and efficiently manage a variety of LE and criminal intelligence functions, as well as a broader range of senior executive reporting requirements. Automatic, electronic data transfers between ALERTS and Integrated Personnel and Pay System - Army (IPPS-A) are being established to provide historical, up-to-date information assisting in agent hiring procedures. The Accreditations module of CIMS was developed from a stand-alone to an enterprise application providing access to multiple DACID personnel. The National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS) electronic feed was updated incorporating FBI standards providing accurate DNA and fingerprint data. RDT&E dollars are required to transform ALERTS along with multiple DACID mission systems through software modernization from an Army-centric investigative LE agency into an elite Federal LE agency that is ahead of the threat, continuously evolving and	3.024	3.095	3.182

A. Mission Description and Budget Item Justification

The United States Military Entrance Processing Command (USMEPCOM) is an Office of the Secretary of War (OSW) Field Operating Activity with Army serving as its

Executive Agent (EA). USMEPCOM reports to OSW Accession Policy (AP). USMEPCOM is the vital link between recruiting and training America's armed forces. The

Command applies established DoW standards during military processing, thereby providing continual military enlistments to the Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force,

Space Force, and Coast Guard. USMEPCOM processes applicants for military service through its 65 Military Entrance Processing Stations (MEPS) and one Remote

Processing Station (RPS) across the Continental United States (CONUS) as well as Non-Foreign Outside the Continental United States (OCONUS) locations.

USMEPCOM began processing applicants for service in the 1970s using a by-hand paper intensive process. In 1995, USMEPCOM introduced the United States Military Entrance Processing Command Integrated Resource System (USMIRS) 1.0. USMIRS provides automated support for conducting aptitude tests and medical examinations and administratively processing, enlisting, and shipping applicants for the Armed Forces, Reserves, and Coast Guard. This includes the support for automated versions of the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB) tests. The system also initiates Social Security Administration (SSA) checks for identity verification, interfaces with US Citizenship & Immigration Services (USCIS) to verify citizenship status, and interfaces with the Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency (DCSA) for background screening. The system utilizes digital fingerprints to identify/eliminate individuals with criminal records from entering military service. USMIRS supports recruiting capabilities through electronic interfaces and data sharing, using standard Department of War (DoW) data elements with Recruiting Service systems (such as ARISS and AIE) and other DoW agencies (Defense Manpower Data Center, DCSA, etc.). In the event a military draft is required, USMIRS supports mobilization through electronic links with the Selective Service System (SSS) as well as automated support for conducting aptitude tests and medical examinations and administratively processing, inducting, and shipping SSS registrants.

In FY 2021, USMEPCOM launched the USMIRS 1.1 Minimal Viable Product (MVP). The MVP modernized and expanded the core functionality of USMIRS and migrated it to the cloud. The resulting system is automated, scalable, and secure. Further investment in the system is planned through FY 2035 to support USMEPCOM's Strategic plan to continue reducing contact to contract timelines for applicant processing by enhancing system functionality, developing additional applications, expanding integrated and predictive analytics (machine learning and power business intelligence), adding artificial intelligence capabilities, and improving data quality.

FY 2027 dollars will fund ongoing incremental modernization of the United States Military Entrance Processing Command Integrated Resource System (USMIRS), including improvements to USMIRS applications speed, reliability, and scalability to support long-term growth requirements, transforming USMEPCOM's Business Intelligence capabilities, begin real-time status updates to recruiters on key enlistment milestones of applications, and harnessing artificial intelligence to streamline applicant processing. These modernization efforts will continue reducing contact to contract timelines for applicant processing.

D. Acquisition Strategy

The overall effort of the USMEPCOM IT transformation is to modernize and fully digitize the US Military Entrance Processing Command Integrated Resource System (USMIRS). The modernization of the system will minimize vulnerabilities and fully digitize 65 MEPS and one RPS resulting in efficiencies to all six uniformed services and reduce contact to contract timelines for applicant processing.

The modernization of the USMIRS system is being accomplished using the agile method of software development in short time-boxed "sprints". Program management functions were initially performed by the Defense Digital Service (DDS). DDS managed a prototype development contract with a local consulting firm called Tandem. The DDS/Tandem effort ended in December of CY 2019 and produced a prototype. An in-house program management element of USMEPCOM managed a follow-on contract that turned the prototype USMIRS 1.1 into a deployed system in FY 2021.

A. Mission Description and Budget Item Justification

Army Business System Modernization Initiatives include:

1. Enterprise Business Systems-Convergence (EBS-C): SAP announced that the current application, Enterprise Central Component (ECC), would not be maintained after 2027 and customers will be required to upgrade to their new version SAP S/4 HANA. In response to this notification, the Army conducted studies in 2019/2020 by the Business Enterprise IT Leaders Group chaired by the Office of Business Transformation. Based on the results of these studies and direction from the Under Secretary of the Army, EBS-C is executing a strategic approach to modernize the Army business system landscape; align modern combat and combat support system capabilities with existing modernization efforts to enable Army force dominance during multi-domain large-scale combat operations in contested logistics environments; and improve overall Army financial operations resulting in improved financial management and successful audit outcomes. The Army is working EBS-C requirements to improve process agility and cross process integration; provide consistent user experiences with an intuitive user interface; and improve data integrity and security. At the enterprise level, EBS-C seeks to integrate financial and logistics processes and create opportunities to decrease overall Defense Business Systems (DBS) redundancies and duplications existing in the Army portfolio. The in-scope DBS for this effort includes General Funds Enterprise Business Systems (GFEBS) and GFEBS-Sensitive Activities (SA), Logistics Management Program (LMP), Global Combat Support System (GCSS)-Army, Army Enterprise System Integration Program (AESIP) Hub, and numerous non-ERP systems performing needed logistics and financial functions.

FY 2027 dollars in the amount of $67.090 million will enable the development of the EBS-C solution and the establishment of the Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery (Cl/CD) pipeline. The development will continue based on the Minimum Viable Capability Release in FY 2025 deployed to the EBS-C solution in FedRAMP compliant government provided cloud environments utilizing proven agile methodology.

2. Global Force Information Management (GFIM) is an automated, integrated, and interoperable digital environment that enables the Army's Deploy to Redeploy/ Retrograde (D2RR) end-to-end business processes in support of Dynamic Force Employment (DFE). The GFIM system will provide the core Global Force Management-Data Initiative (GFM-DI) compliant data necessary for ERP systems, Business Mission Area (BMA) systems, and Warfighting Mission Area (WMA) systems to execute business processes efficiently and effectively in support of Army warfighting operations and Title 10 responsibilities. Today, over 85% of these core Army Business Processes are accomplished manually or with tools that are end-of-life, do not meet current Cybersecurity/Technology requirements, and are hosted on disparate technology platforms that are unable to be integrated. GFIM will provide an integrated planning, programming, and production capability to dynamically develop, design, and document an Army at rest and an Army in motion. GFIM will evolve both long-term and immediate bridging solutions that integrate and automate Army operational business processes. The GFIM components will provide the Army with a functional and integrated transactional platform that creates and develops the requisite force structure, deployment, redeployment, retrograde, and readiness data needed to man, equip, train, ready, and resource the force and feed the Army's ERPs and Non-

ERPs in support of multi-domain operations. The result will be an interoperable, collaborative environment to enable the seamless creation and exchange of authoritative data across the operational community of practice to provide rapid, accurate, and auditable outcomes that will support risk-informed senior leader decisions.

FY 2027 dollars in the amount of $15.932 million will be used to continue development of the GFIM Objective Environment (OE) by awarding a follow-on contract. The continuous development will provide an automated global force management solution for the Army's Deploy to Redeploy and Retrograde (D2RR) business process. The GFIM capability will deliver an enterprise solution that will more efficiently and effectively align and prepare forces and infrastructure, conduct mobilization, deployment, and employment activities, as well as re-deployment and demobilization activities.

3. The Army Vantage Program is a data integration and visualization platform that enables the Army to "see itself" by providing Senior Leaders, Soldiers, Staff, and analytic communities with a common, integrated data platform to visualize and analyze the current and predicted future state(s) of the Army. It spans all data domains, powers a set of configurable views, and provides tools for making data-driven decisions at every level of the Army. The features and advantages of the platform allow the Army to (1) see itself clearly through its data, (2) meet its strategic modernization objectives, and (3) rapidly realize ROI.

FY 2027 dollars in the amount of $2.863 million will continue effort(s) to mitigate risk with enterprise data platform migration, pilot an open architecture universal data connection adapter to broker data with legacy systems, and further support the Army CIOs Application Programming Interface (API) layer enabling the enterprise data mesh construct. Additionally, investigate and test new technologies to be incorporated into Army Vantage to align with Army's Digital Modernization efforts.

4. Installations, Energy, and the Environment (IEE) EBS BUILDER and PAVER DoW requires a standardized, auditable, process for facility condition assessments and the calculation of deferred maintenance. The DoW uses the Sustainment Management System (SMS) to conduct real property condition assessments, identify work requirements, and report on real property asset conditions. SMS provides a consistent baseline for condition assessment of all assets across DoW. This effort develops interfaces with EBS-C within the Army's Enterprise Business System-Convergence Program Management Office (EBS-C PMO) for IEE domain related to construction and real property. This effort develops and integrates modules for buildings (BUILDER) and pavement (PAVER) to modernize and consolidate these modules so that installations can manage all assets in a single enterprise system called Enterprise SMS (ESMS).

The Enterprise Sustainment Management System (ESMS) Web Application is a cloud-based solution, bringing all real property infrastructure domains under the umbrella of a single SMS application. Performing long-range work requirements projections across all SMS domains allows for a comprehensive analysis of various courses of action and the related effects and tradeoffs of each decision. In addition to the incorporation of all SMS domains in a single application. The ESMS application provides increased control of user permission definition, teaming, and how permissions me applied; updated business intelligence reporting capabilities; and improved user experience, leveraging state of the art web development techniques for more efficient use from beginning to end. ESMS helps all real property asset management stakeholders - from civil engineers, technicians and managers to headquarters - decide when, where and how to best maintain existing infrastructure. Because assets are so vast and diverse, a "knowledge-based" philosophy drives the SMS process.

FY 2027 dollars in the amount of $0.396 million will continue development of ESMS to optimize assessments for Pavement, Utilities, Rails, and other facility types.

5. Army Energy and Water Reporting System (AEWRS) is used to collect rollups of energy/water usage and program management at Army installations. AEWRS is the Army's official database of record for all energy and water usage data, and energy program management information. It provides the basis for documenting Army progress in meeting statutory and mandated performance metrics. Data is passed other systems and to DOW to be joined by similar energy and water data from the other services. AEWRS incorporated as a module the Solid Waste Annual Reporting for the Web (SWARWeb) which is the Army's official database of record for solid waste management and recycling data at the Installation, Subordinate Command, Major Command, Region and Army levels. Data is collected for disposal sites, disposal and recycling transactions, recycling revenues and recycling program management. Solid waste data collected throughout the fiscal year is submitted to higher command levels to fulfill reporting requirements and to track compliance with DoW waste reduction/recycling goals.

FY 2027 dollars in the amount of $0.910 million will continue to modernize application software for the AEWRS from earlier software to improve its risk management posture, as well as providing additional mandated reporting capabilities required by revised statutes and federal/DoW policies.

D. Acquisition Strategy

EBS-C transitioned to the Execution Phase of the Software Acquisition Pathway in Q4 FY2024 under DoD Instruction 5000.87. The Execution Phase enables the initial delivery of minimum viable capability release (MVCR) within 12 months (achieved in July of FY 2025). This will be followed by further enhancements and the delivery of 42 capability sets on the EBS-C portfolio roadmap. To enable this, the Army awarded an Other Transaction Authority (OTA) to a Technical Integration Provider in late FY 2024 to support the development of the EBS-C solution. In Late FY 2025 and early FY 2026, the program plans to award a production contract to deploy / field the solution and transition to modular contracting to bring additional vendors to increase velocity and capability delivery. This approach further enables the Continuous Integration / Continuous Deployment capability pipeline rapidly deploying capability to the cloud-solution in the cArmy infrastructure.

GFIM is a system within the Force Management Program of Record and has been designated a Defense Business System Category III program. The program is in the Execution Phase of the Software Pathway (5000.87). GFIM will focus on the utilization of Low Code No Code and automation of the Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) pipeline with prioritization of maximizing test automation. The GFIM program office will look to leverage existing enterprise level agreements to gain efficiencies and to speed delivery of capability. GFIM will provide the Army an enterprise, integrated authoritative force management capability for lifecycle management of force/organizational structure data for the total force. In addition, it will establish a common data standard for force structure data by implementing the

Note

Project was renamed in FY 2022 from Army Safety Management Information System - Revised (ASMIS-R) to Army Safety Management Information System 2.0.

A. Mission Description and Budget Item Justification

The Army Safety Management Information System (ASMIS) 2.0 is the Army's designated system of record for Army Safety and Occupational Health (SOH) data collection, information management, decision support, and reporting. It is built to holistically support the information management needs of the Army SOH program in accordance with Public Law 91-596, Executive Order 12196, DoDI 6055.01, The Army Strategy LOE 1: Build Readiness, LOE 2: Modernize, AR 385-10, and Assistant Secretary of the Army - Installations, Energy and Environment strategic guidance.

ASMIS 2.0 enables commanders and Army senior leaders to use data collected via these six key capabilities and other DoW data sources to prevent accidental losses, reduce associated costs and enhance readiness. ASMIS 2.0 currently interfaces with 9 DoW systems and will interface with 22 upon completion. It directly supports the Warfighter through improved IT-enabled business processes and enterprise data analytics to enhance decision-making at all levels of the Army through greater use of leading indicators. In support of the Army Data Strategy, ASMIS 2.0 enables the Army to make SOH data visible, accessible, understandable, linked, trustworthy, interoperable, and secure (VAULTIS). Beyond the cost avoidance and reduction achieved by loss prevention, ASMIS 2.0 provides additional cost savings by eliminating 11 legacy systems.

In FY27, the development of the support functionality for each of the 14 functional areas of the Army Safety and Occupational Health Program (ASOHP) will be executed based on business processes defined and capabilities needed.

B. Accomplishments/Planned Programs ($ in Millions)	FY 2025	FY 2026	FY 2027
Title: ASMIS-R Development Description: ASMIS 2.0 provides a framework of people, processes, and technology to synchronize, integrate and optimize Army SOH capabilities to preserve war fighting capabilities and enhance the force by providing a safe and healthy environment for Soldiers, Families, Civilians, and contractors. An analysis of Army SOH DOTMLPF-P in 2015 determined that the legacy system, a Defense Business System, was not able to satisfy current and emerging SOH capability requirements without modernization to resolve these capability gaps. Changes in requirements for the Army Safety and Health Management System (Programmatic) related to DoDI 6055.01, AR 385-10, Information Assurance requirements and direct feedback from the Safety professionals within the DoW and the Army have resulted in the need for changes in associated business processes. Additionally, a business gap analysis performed by the ASA(ESOH) revealed a deficiency in the system's requirements that would support	3.054	1.459	1.481

B. Accomplishments/Planned Programs ($ in Millions)	FY 2025	FY 2026	FY 2027
Army Commands in identifying hazards in the workplace, determining hazard mitigation strategies and controls, employing these strategies and controls, and measuring their potential for reducing mishaps. Addressing these problems will have an immediate and direct impact on meeting regulatory requirements, improving data integrity, improving information assurance posture (compliance), increasing the Army's ability to reduce mishaps across the force structure, and promoting ARFORGEN capabilities. FY 2026 Plans: In FY 2026, two capabilities are scheduled for implementation. Both of them are major deliverables and each brings benefit to the Army: 1. ASMIS 2.0 Safety & Occupational Health Training Module. This module will provide a comprehensive delivery and management mechanism for OSHA training requirements within the Army's industrial base. The ability to measure and track training down to the unit level and team level is a critical element of management of the Army's SOH program, as directed via the DoDi 6055-01 and AR 385-10. 2. ASMIS 2.0 Analytics and AI Integration/Augmentation. The current ASMIS analytics capability will be augmented to encompass broader data types and sets from across DoW with emphasis on leading indicators and leveraging of AI. This development will bring deeper integration with Army Vantage through bidirectional data sharing and development of AI bots that directly consume ASMIS SOH data. 3. Enhancements to the ASMIS Explosives Safety Module (ESM). Support for integrated staffing and management of engineering drawings to support munitions and explosives sites will enhance efficiencies across the Army explosives safety community and will bring seamless integration with the Dow Explosives Safety Board (DWESB). FY 2027 Plans: FY27 Plans: In FY 2027, capabilities to support the overarching policies, responsibilities, and procedures (program management) for a specific functional area (FA) of the Army Safety and Occupational Health Program (ASOHP), as directed via AR 385-10 and DoDI 6055.01. The ASOHP consists of 14 functional areas structured for mishap prevention in Army operations. It provides for public safety incidental to Army operations and activities. The ASOHP functional areas are necessary for sustaining operations of the U.S. Army whether at an installation, during contingency operations, or in wartime conditions (see table AR 385-10, Table 1-1).

Each organization's strategic goals and objectives should be aligned to execute the ASOHP in the most effective manner possible (see DA Pam 385 -10). In its current state, ASMIS 2.0 does not fully support the capabilities needed to fully support the ASOHP's six core capability objectives. Among these, the 14 functional areas (Workplace/Operations, Community/Off-Duty and Seasonal safety, Tactical Operations, Transportation Safety, Radion Safety (Ionizing and Non-Ionizing), Aviation Safety, System Safety, Biological Safety, Chemical Agent Safety, Range Operations Safety, Electrical Safety, Fire and Emergency Safety, and Contract Safety) are not fully supported across the key capabilities within ASMIS 2.0. In FY27, the development of the support functionality for each will be executed based on business processes defined and capabilities needed. FY 2026 to FY 2027 Increase/Decrease Statement: Increase is based on revised economic assumptions.

A. Mission Description and Budget Item Justification

The Integrated Personnel and Pay System-Army Increment II (IPPS-A Inc II) provides an integrated, multi-Component, personnel and pay system that streamlines

existing Human Resources (HR) systems and processes by enhancing efficiency and accuracy of personnel and pay procedures in support of 1.1 million Soldiers. This

program is an essential building block to reform the Department of the Army towards achieving greater performance and affordability in support of the National Defense

Strategy and the Congressional audit mandate. The IPPS-A program to date has completed a phased deployment of Military Human Resource and talent management

capabilities across all Army components (Active, Guard and Reserve). This includes all Army National Guard units in the 54 states and territories into one single solution.

The program has contributed to the retirement of 28 of 54 legacy systems, bringing the Army's total military force into a single HR authoritative system.

In accordance with the Acquisition Strategy approved by the Army Acquisition Executive on 21 June 2022, the program office continues incremental releases supporting Army Military Payroll (AMP), additional Human Resource (HR) Capabilities (e.g., Archiving, Talent and Strength Management, and Audit), and HR Enhancements. As of this submission, planning is underway with Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS) to support the recent (February 2026) Department-wide decision to align Military Pay Modernization and Integration. The current planning efforts aim to coordinate the Department's Military Pay objectives and priorities before shaping the existing and future Army core HR and Pay capabilities. Based on the initial planning guidance, previously submitted Active Component (AC) and Reserve Component (RC) Pay delivery timeline in FY27 and FY28, respectively, have been removed pending the outcome of Military Pay Modernization and Integration planning outcome.

In 4QFY24, IPPS-A began migration from the legacy infrastructure hosting solution with Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) to a Cloud Hosting solution. The program continues transitioning to the Software Acquisition Pathway. In 1QFY25, the program awarded the Solution Provider bridge contract to enable competition for the new Product Support and Delivery contract known as MAHC III (Managing Army's Human Capital - Innovation, Integration, and Implementation). MAHC III was awarded in 2QFY26, which provides maintenance and system enhancements enabling subsumption of legacy systems.

In 3QFY25 an online form was released that provides a Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty (DD 214), allowing for the subsumption of the Retirement Points Accounting Management (RPAM) system, a National Guard legacy system. In FY26, the program transitioned to the Software Acquisition Pathway and is accelerating the subsumption of 12 legacy systems to align with the DBS 1-N Portfolio Divesture plan. Additionally, the AMP Death Gratuity capability was released in 2QFY26, Adoption Expense reimbursement is scheduled for release in 3QFY26, and Temporary Lodging Assistance for 4QFY26.

FY 2027 dollars in the amount of $102.694 million supports modernization and sustainment of the HR baseline system, pay integration, agile software development and incremental delivery of additional HR capabilities to enable subsumption of additional legacy systems. These funds will continue cloud migration prior to the legacy DISA infrastructure end of life in FY28. These critical investments support the Army to be audit ready and achieve cost savings through cloud migration, legacy

D. Acquisition Strategy

The Integrated Personnel and Pay System-Army Increment II (IPPS-A Inc II) provides an integrated, multi-Component, personnel and pay system that streamlines existing Human Resources (HR) systems and processes by enhancing efficiency and accuracy of personnel and pay procedures in support of 1.1 million Soldiers.

The IPPS-A program achieved a Milestone B on 14 December 2014 under the authority of Department of Defense Instruction (DODI) 5000.02. The program transitioned to a Priority Defense Business System Category I (BCAT I) under the authority of the DODI 5000.75 and has implemented a tailored Acquisition approach for Defense Business Systems. In accordance with the Acquisition Strategy approved by the Army Acquisition Executive on 21 June 2022, the next major software capabilities,

Date: April 2026Exhibit R-2A, RDT&E Project Justification: PB 2027 Army

(previously referred to as Release 4) are Army Military Payroll, HR Enhancements, and Cloud Migration. On 25 July 2023, the Army Acquisition Executive (AAE) ordered IPPS-A to start work on Army Military Payroll (AMP) with Peoplesoft Global Payroll as the technical solution. In Dec 2024, the AAE concurred with IPPS-A's request to move to the software acquisition pathway (SWP) to better align with its current agile release cadence. In Feb 2025, the acquisition decision memorandum was signed allowing for IPPS-A to prepare for transitioning to the SWP. On 17 March 2026, IPPS-A received approval from the Army Acquisition Executive (AAE) to transition the program from a Department of Defense Instruction (DoDI) 5000.75 program to a DoDI 5000.87 Software Pathway (SWP). The Acquisition Decision Memorandum has been drafted and will be sent for signature.

The program transitioned from waterfall development to agile development to better execute software development and fielding. The program has implemented the Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) 6.0 and organized into multiple Agile Release Trains (ARTs) for the Baseline work, AMP effort, and supporting development across both Agile Release Trains. Both ARTs operate under a Solution Train in 13-week Planning Increments with five, 2-week development sprints and one, 3-week innovation and planning sprint. This structure affords the program the necessary flexibility while maintaining a common vision and a requirements management process to incrementally build, test, and deliver valuable and quality software to the Army's 1.1 million Soldiers.

The IPPS-A program awarded the AMP development contract on 12 July 2024. AMP capabilities were on track for incremental delivery beginning with limited capability and working towards Active Component payroll. The program delivered AMP minimum viable capability release (MVCR) consisting of one-time payment for death gratuity to the soldiers' family. Other one-time payment capabilities that were to follow were temporary lodging allowance and adoption reimbursement projected for delivery throughout FY26. As of this submission, AMP is undergoing additional planning to integrate with the Department's Military Pay Modernization initiative.

FY25: The IPPS-A program awarded a Joint Warfighting Cloud Capability (JWCC) contract in 4QFY24 to support a major cloud migration effort. The program achieved Interim Authority to Test (IATT) accreditation for the Oracle US Defense Non-classified Internet Protocol Router Network (NIPR) Cloud Landing Zone, established connectivity to the Defense Information Systems Network (DISN) through a Boundary Cloud Access Point (BCAP), and began required enterprise level integrations to support future mission owners in the Oracle US NIPR Defense Cloud.

FY26: The IPPS-A program anticipates initial migration of development, test, and production environments to the US Oracle Defense Cloud to provide increased system performance and security. In addition, IPPS-A anticipates achieving Authority to Operate with Conditions (ATO-C) for the Oracle US Defense NIPR Cloud Landing Zone. Lastly, the program aims to increase its usage of cloud native solutions to deliver cutting-edge capabilities to internal developers and external users. Product Support and Delivery contract recompete was awarded as MAHC III in 2QFY26. In FY26, the program is accelerating the subsumption of 12 legacy systems to align with the DBS 1-N Portfolio Divesture plan. In 2QFY26 the AMP Death Gratuity capability was released, Adoption Expense reimbursement is scheduled for 3QFY26, and Temporary Lodging Assistance for 4QFY26.

FY27: The IPPS-A program foresees full operational capacity (and accreditation) resulting in a maximization of benefits from cloud infrastructure and capabilities. IPPS-A will increase unit and personnel readiness through a more intuitive, efficient, and personalized system. Lastly, IPPS-A aims to achieve initial accreditation and migration of its sensitive work items to the Oracle US Defense Secret Internet Protocol Router Network (SIPR) Cloud.

D. Acquisition Strategy

PdM Waveforms' mission has been realigned to PdM Tactical Communication Systems (TCS). The program office is responsible for core activities, includes analyzing, developing, and updating legacy and current waveforms that operate on multiple radio sets supporting network-centric operational warfare. Waveform developments (upgrading, developing, and maintaining) will generally be procured through full and open contract competitions or through leveraging other government agencies.

While maintaining legacy and current networking waveforms, the program office implemented a strategy which focuses on vetting and analyzing ANWfs. The product office continues to establish working relationships with industry partners within the waveform market. The strategy consists of conducting initial analysis of commercial waveforms, identifying implementation strategies, documenting and remediating vulnerabilities, and making recommendations to senior leadership on potential Army and other Services' use cases.

A. Mission Description and Budget Item Justification

CIRCM (EB4)

CIRCM is the next generation lightweight, laser-based Infrared Countermeasure (IRCM) component that interfaces with the Army's Common Missile Warning System

(CMWS), Limited Interim Missile Warning System (LIMWS), Advanced Threat Warner (ATW), and future Improved Threat Detection System (ITDS) to defeat current and

emerging missile threats that use multispectral technology for rotary-wing, tilt-rotor and small fixed-wing aircraft across the Department of War (DoW). CIRCM receives

an angular bearing hand-off from the Missile Warning System (MWS), employs a pointing and tracking system which acquires the handed-over threat and tracks the

incoming missile during and after motor burnout. CIRCM jams the missile by using modulated laser energy in the missile seeker band, thus degrading the tracking

capability of the missile and causing it to miss the aircraft. CIRCM is utilizing Open Systems Architecture which allows flexibility with software and hardware refreshes.

Tech insertions, when coupled with future threat acquisition and integration, will ensure CIRCM performance to keep pace with future threats. CIRCM is part of the suite

of Aircraft Survivability Equipment (ASE) Mission Equipment for Multi-Mission Vertical Takeoff (MV)-75 Future Long-Range Assault Aircraft (FLRAA).

The CIRCM A-Kit includes mounting hardware, wiring harnesses, and other components necessary to install and interface the mission kit on host aircraft. The A-Kit ensures the mission kit is functionally and physically operational with a specific host aircraft type. The CIRCM B-Kit is the mission kit (laser, pointer tracker, and processor) required to achieve near spherical coverage for an aircraft.

Fiscal Year (FY) 2027 Research, Development, Test, and Evaluation (RDTE) funding will fund A-Kit development, integration and test activities on multi-variant platforms, acquiring additional B-Kit test Line Replaceable Units (LRUs) to support development / testing activities, and threat and vulnerability analysis.

A. Mission Description and Budget Item Justification

The Combating Weapons of Mass Destruction (CWMD) line supports test and evaluation efforts for overall chemical, radiological, and biological detection and protection

for the warfighter for multiple programs of record, including the Advanced Radiological, Nuclear Detection Family of Systems (ARND FoS) and the Vehicle Integrated

Platform Enhanced Radiac (VIPER) programs.

Advanced Radiological, Nuclear Detection Family of Systems (ARND FoS) will provide an enhanced standoff, wide area/ networked detection capability to produce a radiological nuclear site picture depicting radiological hot spots and facilitating the detection of high priority areas of interest/focus on an objective. ARND FoS benefits the warfighter with the capability that will provide enhanced radiological and nuclear detection to support search and find of sources of interest for Sensitive Site Assessment (SSA) and Sensitive Site Exploitation (SSE).

Vehicle Integrated Platform Enhanced RADIAC (VIPER) is a small radiation sensor that modernizes the Army's capabilities to monitor for platform crew exposure to radiological/nuclear (rad/nuc) hazards. The system mounts within the crew compartment of multiple U.S. Army ground and aviation platforms. It provides gamma dose rate, gamma dose, and gamma/neutron (i.e., prompt) dose measurements in a small, ruggedized form factor. It replaces obsolete systems, the AN/VDR-2 and the AN/UDR-13, which are no longer in production. VIPER benefits the warfighter by providing a rapid and accurate understanding of the radiation exposure of Soldiers (full range dose rate, residual dose, and prompt dose) to inform post-exposure actions for reconnaissance, surveillance, health risk assessment, and decontamination operations.

FY 2027 amount of $5.605 million supports ARND FoS ($3.999 million) and VIPER ($1.606 million). In FY2027, ARND FoS will complete performance and integration testing to validate the capability meets defined requirements. FY 2027, VIPER will continue developmental testing and integration efforts to supporting incremental fielding to wheeled platforms and continue testing and integration efforts for tracked and aviation platforms supporting the acquisition strategy.
