Combat Air Intelligence System Activities
Abstract
The mission of Combat Air Intelligence Systems (CAIS) is to process, analyze, and disseminate intelligence for air component and unit operations worldwide by providing key intelligence infrastructure and production capabilities for the supported and supporting forces with true backbone type of intelligence support for air operations and air support to joint operations. CAIS is focused on providing the intelligence infrastructure and funding to Air Force Major Commands, Intelligence, Cyber and Space Squadrons, Field Operating Agencies, and subordinate units. Modernizations utilize Section 804, Middle Tier of Acquisitions as a rapid prototyping/rapid fielding effort to provide required modernization to remain interoperable, certified, supportable, and compliant through software engineering solutions, integration, testing, fielding, and sustainment of new capabilities and upgrades. This includes the utilization of Agile methodologies and cloud environment providers with hosting equipment provided by the program. Modernizations are required to keep pace with evolving Government Off the Shelf (GOTS) components, integrated Commercial Off the Shelf (COTS) components, Department of Defense (DoD) directives, and changes in the underlying Information Technology (IT) environment, as well as to deliver effective operational capabilities for the user. As directed in the FY 2018 NDAA, Sec 825, amendment to PL 114-92 FY 2016 NDAA, Sec 828 Penalty for Cost Overruns, the FY 2018 Air Force penalty total is $14.373M. The calculated percentage reduction to each research, development, test and evaluation and procurement account will be allocated proportionally from all programs, projects, or activities under such account. This program is in Budget Activity 7, Operational System Development because this budget activity includes development efforts to upgrade systems that have been fielded or have received approval for full rate production and anticipate production funding in the current or subsequent fiscal year.
