DCAPES

Abstract

RDT&E funding for DCAPES is misaligned at the BPAC level for Fiscal Year's (FY) 2018 and 2019. Funding is reflecting in the DCAPES Increment 2A BPAC, but it will be executed against the DCAPES Increment 2B program. The DCAPES Increment 2A program will not execute any RDT&E dollars in FY2018 or FY2019. Deliberate and Crisis Action Planning and Execution Segments (DCAPES) is the USAF system used to project air expeditionary forces. It enables the USAF to posture mission ready and equipped forces (organized in effects-based operational capability packages) to deliver air, space and cyberspace capabilities to Joint commanders worldwide. Technical requirements planned for Increment 2B include enabling the system to support Public Key Infrastructure and Public Key enabling as well as elimination of Social Security Account Numbers as the primary key for identifying Air Force military and civilian members by replacing it with the Electronic Data Interchange Personal Identifier. DCAPES funding will be executed against capabilities packaged into agile development projects for multiple incremental deliveries based on the warfighter's priorities. Additionally, funding will be used to cover downward directed federal mandates. This program element may include necessary civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver the DCAPES system capability. The use of such program funds would be in addition to the civilian pay expenses budgeted in program elements 0605826F, 0605827F, 0605828F, 0605829F, 0605830F, 0605831F, 0605832F, 0605833F, and 0605898F. 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.
