Advanced IT Services Joint Program Office (AITS-JPO)

Abstract

Advanced IT Services Joint Program Office (AITS-JPO) identifies and integrates new and mature commercial information technology (IT) and advanced operational concepts into net-centric battlespace capabilities to access and exchange critical information; exploit opportunities to enhance current force capabilities; and project future force IT requirements. AITS-JPO supports preparing for future joint force and coalition initiatives through developing and integrating a full range of data services and advanced IT applications to support cooperative activities between the US and its coalition partners. These emergent capabilities are technologies that can be rapidly infused into existing tools. The program uses three key mechanisms to streamline the process of fielding emergent requirements: (1) Joint Capability Technology Demonstrations (JCTDs) with the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD)/Combatant Commands (COCOMs)/Services/Agency; (2) Joint Ventures with COCOMs/Program of Record (POR); and (3) Risk Mitigation Pilots with POR/Community of Interest. The JCTD process aligns with the revised Joint Capability Integration and Development System process, developed by the Joint Chiefs of Staff, by adapting technology and concept solutions to meet pressing warfighter needs. OSD approves new JCTDs annually and on a rolling start basis. Defense Information Systems Agency participates in both a technical and transition manager role. The JCTDs and the Joint Ventures and risk mitigation pilots use a teaming approach thereby sharing costs and reducing the risk to individual organizations.

Change Summary Explanation
The FY 2013 decrease of -$0.426 is due to the reduced requirement for software development and engineering support for the Mobility JCTD and the Mobility Program Office. This reduction is directly attributed to the Budget Control Act (BCA) reduction. The FY 2014 decrease of -$0.053 supports higher Agency priorities. The FY 2015 decrease of -$4.100 is due to reduced JCTD support, a decrease from four to three event participation per year, reduced support for IT initiatives and pilots, a reduction in Enterprise Management provided to the COCOMs and Services, and the loss of seven civilian Full-Time-Equivalents.
