Information Technology Development

Abstract

2901 AAUSN IT The FY2020 funding request for RDTEN Project 2901 was reduced by $3.109 million to account for the availability of prior year execution. FY20 funds transfer out from RDTEN, Information Technology Development (PE 0605013N)-$.685 million to BA04, Administration (4A1M) OMN to align funding for Information Technology (Baseline $0) DEPARTMENT OF NAVY TASKING RECORDS AND CONSOLIDATED KNOWLEDGE ENTERPRISE REPOSITORY (DoN TRACKER) Department of the Navy Tasking, Records and Consolidated Knowledge Enterprise Repository (DON TRACKER - formerly known as Enterprise Records and Task Management (ERTM)) is a single, auditable, compliant Records and Task Management process, implemented uniformly across all DON Divisions and Commands, and administered by DON/AA, to enable efficient and effective execution of Records Management (RM) and Task Management (TM) policy in compliance with statute. DoN Tracker deployed in FY18. NMCI ENTERPRISE SERVICE TOOLS (NEST) The NMCI Enterprise Service Tools (NEST) is the NMCI IT service management system that supports the Navy IT service lifecycle business workflow. NEST includes, the NMCI Enterprise Tool (NET) and the Requirements to Award Process Tool (RAPT), which enables and manages the business workflow. NET is a custom NET application that has been built and maintained by the DON to support ordering of IT services. RAPT manages the requirements approval process and stores supporting documentation for previously un-priced line items. RAPT provides NET with relevant identification information for the new orderable solution, which supports the creation of orderable services. NEST serves as the single point of entry for lifecycle management of IT services on the NMCI network. The $2.286M decrease from FY19 to FY20 is due to fewer developmental efforts. The FY20 RDTEN being requested, will be used to address minor development requirements after the NGEN-R award; and any changes in DOD/DON procurement policies and mandates. ELECTRONIC PROCUREMENT SYSTEM (ePS) ePS provides the Department of the Navy Solution for Electronic Contract Writing replacing the existing Standard Procurement System (SPS) and DoN Integrated Contracting Environment (DICE) capabilities and deficiencies. ePS aligns Contract Writing System (CWS) with Financial Improvement Audit Readiness requirements mandated by Congress and the Department of Navy's goal for an auditable link between financial management and contract writing system. It supports strategic sourcing and seamless exchange of data in addition to evolving to meet changing requirements. The improved capabilities will meet emerging data standards Procurement Data Standards/Procurement Request Data Standards (PDS/PRDS), in addition to complying with Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) Clause Logic Service. ePS meets the intent of the National Defense Authorization Act of 2013 by providing an electronic means to award contracts. FY19 to FY20 funding increase of $31.8M is driven by a significant increase in the ePS user community via Limited Deployment (LD), Release 1 (R1), and Release 2 (R2) activities. LD, began in FY19 and only incorporated 1 full command and 3 small sites for a total of 310 users, with 3 financial interfaces. Release 1 will incorporate 7 full commands (including 42 sites) for a total of 3,644 users. R1 also begins to incorporate Navy specific requirements into the gap closure, software configuration, and testing activities, and includes the development and testing of 6 additional financial interfaces. FY20 includes LD, the majority of R1 activities, and initial data migration planning activities for R2, which is a significantly larger effort. DONAA IT The Modernization Initiative includes multiple projects with RDT&E requirements: Multiple Threat Alert Center (MTAC), Data Modernization & Analytical Tools, Knowledge Network (K-Net), Consolidated Law Enforcement Operations Center (CLEOC), and Data Modernization of the Secretariat Automated Resources Management Information System (SARMIS). RDTEN funding will optimize DONAA's capability to make necessary improvements to various Secretariat systems. This modernization will ensure compliance with continued financial emerging requirements. Enhancement of financial auditability will be in compliance with DOD security system requirements. MULTIPLE THREAT ALERT CENTER (MTAC) The Post-Cole Secretary of the Navy Anti-terrorism/Force Protection Task Force identified the need for NCIS to enhance the Multiple Threat Alert Center (MTAC). The MTAC provides key anti-terrorism/force protection products in response to Fleet tasking and is critical to Fleet protection during current Overseas Contingency Operations (OCO). This project provides funding for the development of an IT system to track the movement of NCIS special agents deployed in advance of DoN in-transit units. The ability to track and communicate with these agents is necessary in order to forward threat data to those forward deployed agents and to task them to respond to emerging threats. Funding is required for equipment and contractor support to modify COTS software. DATA MODERNIZATION & ANALYTICAL TOOLS NCIS data collection, filtering, and analysis infrastructure is unable to handle the increased flow of terrorism investigative and threat reporting of the Post 9/11 era. NCIS must revitalize its infrastructure and its data and investigation management capabilities to effectively counter current terrorist threats. The three main components of this portfolio investment are data modernization, knowledge management, and investigation management. KNOWLEDGE NETWORK (K-Net) K-Net is a Data Modernization & analytical tool being developed and soon deployed that greatly enhances NCIS's technological arsenal. K-Net implements an integrated NCIS approach for identifying, capturing, evaluating, retrieving, and sharing all of NCIS's knowledge and expertise. To that end, K-Net is a knowledge management system that improves NCIS's ability to search, analyze, fuse, and distribute both national intelligence and law enforcement information. The envisioned end state for K-Net is a secure, intuitive, web environment that is the one stop shop where applications, data, and tools are easily accessible to all of NCIS users to effectively and securely fulfill their mission regardless of when and where they operate. CONSOLIDATED LAW ENFORCEMENT OPERATIONS CENTER (CLEOC) The Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS) enhancement of CLEOC will enable meeting Law Enforcement (LE) reporting requirements, satisfy Congressional mandates for the Defense Incident-Based Reporting System (DIBRS) and improve functionality across the Naval criminal justice community. DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY CRIMINAL JUSTICE INFORMATION SYSTEM (DONCJIS) The Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS) is the Executive Agent (EA) for the Department of the Navy Criminal Justice Information System (DONCJIS). This system provides a cradle to grave criminal justice and law enforcement information system. The system enables multiple communities within the DON to share criminal justice and law enforcement information. Funding is required for contractor support to develop, test, train, deploy and implement this application. 2903 NAVAIR IT FY2020 funding request for RDTEN Project 2903 was reduced by $0.525 million due to availability of prior year funds. Configuration Management System (CMS) - This program was originally identified as Joint Configuration Management Information System (JCMIS) to reflect the main software tool used for component tracking and Aircraft Configuration Management. However, as the available data sources from the fleet have expanded, the new name of CMS was chosen to better acknowledge the variety of information sources which are received, integrated, and compiled to give the most accurate component record data and aircraft configuration. CMS serves as the Program of Record (POR) to manage and control Navy and Marine Corps aviation component data reconstruction efforts. CMS compiles record data via fleet documentation of component updates and captures this information via a centrally managed database within the current software tool, Joint Configuration Management Information System (JCMIS). CMS efficiently manages product structure data, including complex interrelationships between assemblies and subassemblies, technical documentation and the parts that comprise the item. Accurate, complete and accessible configuration data is critical to the successful operations of DoD weapon systems or tracked assets. Mission readiness and operational capabilities are enhanced by CMS, as consistent integrated configuration data is readily available to operators, maintainers and logistics personnel. CMS provides users with a common database infrastructure to ensure compatibility, quality, and consistency of Configuration Management (CM) processes and provides configuration managers and analysts the validated CM information necessary for accurate maintenance, spare procurements, reliability and safety analysis, and mission readiness. Funding is budgeted to support the services of re-hosting and testing of Commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) upgrades to ensure objective performance of CMS is achieved. Navy Cybersecurity - Cyber Warfare consists of many different aspects to include sabotage of our weapon systems, networks as well as enablement of missions. Nation and non-nation state actors are acquiring and employing more advanced cyber-attacks in order to exploit our networks and aviation systems challenging our technological edge. The threats and capabilities are real and range from exploiting capabilities, overloading weapons systems and logistics supply chains, to jamming signals or taking control of weapons systems. We must defend against adversarial cyber attacks while contributing to the exploitation of cyber warfare capabilities. To meet these challenges and address the Chief of Naval Operations priorities and tasking, these R&D efforts are specifically focused on Naval Air Systems Command weapon or control systems and programs to ensure warfighting effectiveness as part of integrated / multi-platform kill chains. These research and development efforts will strengthen our cyber posture by developing research, development, test and evaluation capabilities and solutions to deter, detect, and mitigate cyber threats and safeguard classified naval aviation systems and platforms from "cradle to grave." These solutions will be integrated into the acquisition of weapons systems to enhance security, increase lethality, and improve resiliency in the expected operational environments. Our weapon or control systems are unique in the aforementioned environments and mission, but also in the presence of numerous non-traditional access points and trusted cyber relationships required for operational environments. Digital Thread (DT) - capability provides digital process integration with complete, secure and authoritative data. DT integrates the product life cycle, and includes all the processes that are needed to design, develop, test, produce, and support a product. Connecting these processes using standardized digital tools and data accelerates the product development cycle and lowers costs for support and new capability integration. The Digital Thread capability includes development and demonstration of cyber security architectures for sustainment information systems, and development of a digital manufacturing data architecture and repository. 2904 NAVSEA IT FY2020 funding request for RDTEN Project 2904 was reduced by $6.917 million due to availability of prior year funds. This program includes the funding for Information Technology (IT) support at NAVSEA for the development, support, and sustainment of maritime shore maintenance and includes multiple modernization efforts to insure effectiveness of Fleet maintenance systems as part of the current Navy Maritime Maintenance Enterprise Solution (NMMES). These efforts include retirement and/or replacement of costly legacy systems, transition planning and systems engineering for integration with national and enterprise interim and future solutions. These efforts align with direction to insure that proposed interim solutions support a planned, single maintenance solution end state, as well as direction to align with data center consolidation plans proposed across the FYDP. It includes the modernization of Naval Shipyard and Regional Maintenance Centers' Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) production tools. This includes modifications/enhancements to Shipyard IT systems, such as Advanced Industrial Management (AIM); Project Scheduling and Sequencing (PSS); Workload and Performance Systems; the COST and MAT systems, and other solutions such as the Electronic Technical Working Document (eTWD) Initiative. The goal of PMO-IT is to provide modernization, migration and consolidation of obsolete legacy systems to the next generation of centrally hosted tools supporting Fleet Maintenance and national systems for the Navy. 2905 BUPERS IT FY2020 funding request for RDTEN Project 2905 was reduced by $2.200 million due to availability of prior year funds. Research and Development Funds for MPT&E Transformation under PE 0604703N have been consolidated within PE 0605013N PU 2905 starting in FY19. This effort is the linchpin of the Navy's MPT&E (Manpower, Personnel, Training & Education) business IT Transformation strategy which stems from the decision to invest in programs that directly align with the Sailor 2025 vision. The current 70-year-old business processes and 40-year-old obsolete IT systems will not sustain Fleet anticipated growth and is not cost efficient nor effective. The Transformation strategy involves revolutionary change by rapid implementation of MPT&E business IT products using the Industry Best Practices Model (e.g., early investment for largest ROI, rapid prototyping, and vanilla COTS products usage.) Four projects are the cornerstones of the N1 Transformation strategy. The Navy Standard Integrated Personnel System (NSIPS) will become Navy Personnel and Pay (NP2) and includes personnel and pay modernization and the collapse of Legacy Manpower System functionality. Second, a Single Point of Entry (SPOE) for Sailor self-service is composed of My Navy Portal (MNP), Identity and Access Management (IdAM), a Customer Relations Management (CRM) solution, and a centralized and standardized customer service center (The My Navy Career Center (MNCC)). Third, MPT&E Core Learning Stack improves the accessibility, sophistication, and collaborative nature of educational outreach. Finally, the Authoritative Data Environment (ADE) will enable the collapse of 9 legacy data warehouses into a single, authoritative source of truth for Sailors and Navy decision makers. Additionally, ADE will enable modern data analytics and business intelligence capabilities, taking advantage of current state of practice cloud services, to be leveraged in addressing the Navy's current challenges. In FY20, there is significant investment being made to increase the scope and scale of Single Point of Entry/My Navy Portal which will provide the Sailor with a self-service web environment. SPOE efforts in FY20 will include development of transactional mobile applications, Identity and Access Management (IdAM) solution, and MNP integration with My Navy Career Center (MNCC). In parallel, there is an increase scope for NP2 in the ramp up to a MPT&E Navy Personnel and Pay (NP2) system. Transformation field test activities which began in FY18 will continue to build out, as well as prototypes, testing, integration, and migration to the cloud environment. NAVY PERSONNEL AND PAY (NP2) - The NP2 increase in FY20 supports the de-customization of the Navy Standard Integrated Personnel System (NSIPS) and integration of Direct to Treasury Pay Capability via Pay Modernization (Pay Mod). This combined effort (named NP2) will result in an integrated, vanilla Commercial Off the Shelf, cloud hosted, integrated personnel and pay solution that will provide the navy with an IT system that is modern, highly automated, auditable, and more efficient. FY20 efforts include: 1. Complete end-to-end Application Functional Testing (AFT) for the NP2 Rapid Prototype Pilot (RPP). 2. Complete Compile to Combat engagement & experimentation activities for NP2 RPP. 3. Complete first capability drop for NP2 RPP (Street to Fleet functionality). 4. Begin Rapid Fielding Pilot (RFP) #1, the scope of which will include Personnel Administration, Benefits and Pay for "Fleet to Retirement/Separation", including afloat capability. 5. Complete Transition Plan for movement of NP2 to the commercial cloud environment. 6. Complete transition of NP2 from Government Cloud to the commercial cloud environment. 7. Complete Defense Joint Military System (DJMS) data cleansing in support of transition of Pay functionality to NP2. 8. Conduct deployment planning for NP2 RFP. 9. Conduct design and development sprints for NP2 RFP #1. 10. Conduct SRR/SFR, PDR, CDR, and iterative AFT/ASIT for NP2 RFP #1. 11. Begin planning activities for NP2 RFP #2, the scope of which will include Position Management, Task Analysis, and Manpower Requirements analysis. A 2015 analysis of alternatives for integration of personnel and pay capabilities recommended the use of Oracle PeopleSoft 9.2 with Global Payroll for achieving the Navy's Personnel and Pay IT needs. Follow-on analysis conducted as part of the MPT&E transformation efforts in 2016 and 2017 indicated that the most cost effective approach to achieving the Transformation goals of modernizing HR Business System IT consistent with industry best practices was de-customization of the Navy Standard Integrated Personnel System (NSIPS) which uses Oracle PeopleSoft as its core technology, integration with Global Payroll, use of General Ledger to maximize auditability and accounting functions and hosting of the integrated solution. This combined effort (named NP2) will result in an integrated, vanilla Commercial Off the Shelf, cloud hosted, integrated personnel and pay solution that will provide the navy with an IT system that is modern, highly automated, auditable, and more efficient. Implementation of NP2 will result in several key benefits: 1. Improved accuracy and auditability of personnel and pay transactions. 2. Treasury Direct Disbursing eliminating Navy reliance on the sunsetting DJMS system. 3. Improved permeability of Active and Reserve Components to improve accuracy and eliminate delays in pay processing when a member moves between components. 4. Increased automation of common personnel and pay transactions 5. Integration of functionality currently spread across 55 different adhoc and outdated HR Business Systems. Efforts in FY20 are focused on system development, testing and delivery of core components associated with Military Pay, Personnel Transactions that effect Pay, Auditability, Accounting, and Treasury Direct Disbursement. Beyond F20, development will continue and will bring continued integration of legacy systems such as those used for detailing and distribution, management of Sailor performance, and talent management and matching. Beginning in FY20 system requirements and functionality for NMRS/BBD/AoA will be subsumed under the auspices of NP2 as part of the N1 MPT&E Transformation and system consolidation. The descriptions for those systems are provided below. BILLET BASED DISTRIBUTION (BBD) BBD is a Sailor 2025 initiative aimed at modernizing distribution and order writing systems. The effort begins functional work and follow-on development to collapse Navy Reserve Order Writing System (NROWS), Navy Marine Corps Mobilization Processing System (NMCMPS), Enlisted Assignment Information System (EAIS), and Officer Assignment Information System (OAIS) into a single distribution system. The objective of BBD is to increase personnel readiness, improve fit and provide clear visibility to the impact on mission readiness at the billet level. BBD will facilitate maximizing the contributions of every member of the Navy workforce by delivering competency-based career paths. As part of the Navy's transformation initiative, BBD will be consolidated into the MPT&E Personnel and Pay System technology component. NAVY MANPOWER REQUIREMENTS SYSTEM (NMRS) NMRS will modernize obsolete software and incorporate a wide array of enhancements (expanded capabilities based on sponsor's approved Functional Requirements Document) of new capabilities in support of Manpower Requirement efficiencies. NMRS is a key tool which Navy manpower managers rely on to set, implement, and execute manpower requirements. Recommendations for improving data bases and the Navy's mobilization capacity rely on NMRS to make strength determinations. The planned effort also includes technical evaluation and integration of products produced by the Simulation Toolset for Analysis of Mission, Personnel and Systems (STAMPS) program. As envisioned by the Navy's Transformation initiative, NMRS will eventually be consolidated into the MPT&E Personnel and Pay System technology component of the transformation. ANALYSIS OF ALTERNATIVE/ECONOMIC ANALYSIS (AOA) The Navy will conduct multiple AoAs and studies to analyze viable alternatives in order to determine the most efficient and effective solution to address the modernization of elements of the Navy's Manpower, Personnel, Training and Education (MPT&E) IT portfolio. AOA will assess operational effectiveness, suitability, and costs of non-tactical systems to meet emerging capability requirements. LEARNING STACK (FORMERLY LEARNING MANAGEMENT SYSTEM - DISTANCE LEARNING (LMS-DL)) Beginning in FY20, LMS-DL is aligned with the Learning Stack (LS) technology component of the N1 Transformation initiative. LMS-DL supports ready relevant learning, with a focus to align Navy learning, create a career learning continuum, and leverage evolving technologies to expand learning solutions when and where the Sailor needs them. The collaborative learning environment (CLE) is a key component within the learning IT strategy that leverages Commercial-Off-the-Shelf products to integrate the CLE with intelligent tutors, a multi-purpose reconfigurable training system (MRTS), electronic classrooms (ECR), trainers and labs, interactive multimedia instruction (IMI), instructors, and a virtual environment. As part of the Transformation holistic IT approach, ready & relevant learning requires the development of a Learning Management System that permits: (1) Mobile & flexible delivery of modular training to the sailor (2) Synchronization of work requirements with learning modules to ensure proper training is delivered at the right time FY20 funding will develop and deploy new technologies for modularized training in fleet concentration areas to support the continuum of learning to include: (1) Development, modification or replacement of the current LMS platform (2) Integration of Manpower, Personnel, Training and Education (MPTE) management tools to support end to end business processes (billet information, assignment, distribution, student management, learning management, personnel information, advancement) that will be impacted by changes to learning delivery and career profiles via Progressive NECs (e.g. Legacy systems: TFMMS,NSIPS, Learning Assessment System, Navy Training Management Planning System and future transformation systems: NP2 and ADE.) The Learning Management tools and supporting IT infrastructure must also be modified to support management of training into the Delayed Entry Program, the growing use of demonstration videos, social media, student and learning management for MPTE mobility efforts, gaming and simulation technology as it is brought on-line. LMS-DL will also introduce the Learning Continuum Pilot, a risk reduction effort that develops proof of concept alignment of sailor training requirements with learning content delivery. SINGLE POINT OF ENTRY (SPOE) (FORMERLY MY NAVY PORTAL (MNP)) MNP is aligned with the single point of entry (SPOE) technology component of the N1 Transformation initiative. MNP is an integrated web portal that consolidates the Navy's Human Resource portals, knowledge, and applications into a single and simplified user experience. Through the use of a multi-phased development approach, MNP will provide an intuitive self-service single point of entry (SPOE) for Sailors to view and manage their personnel and career information. MNP provides Active and Reserve Sailors with personalized interactive experiences and allows access to relevant information including learning content, human resource applications, and career business processes. Beginning in FY20 system requirements and functionality for ARM will be subsumed under the auspices of SPOE as part of the N1 MPT&E Transformation and system consolidation. The descriptions for the system is provided below. APPLICANT RELATIONSHIP MANAGEMENT (ARM) ARM provides automated support of the management of recruiting information. ARM enables all levels of recruiting to have real-time access to timely and accurate information. ARM provides managers with decision-making support by consolidating Navy Recruiting Command (NRC) legacy application systems. The complete ARM Systems Dev/Mod effort will incorporate biometrics and paperless implementation across all lines of business systems to gain additional efficiencies. Included in the ARM program is the Self Service Accessions Application (SSAA). Phase II of this effort will build the SSAA application into the ARM system. SSAA is a mobile device-based software application. SSAA supports a change in the NRC business processes from a recruiter-driven business model to an applicant self-service business model. This "app" will be used by applicants to collaborate with recruiters anytime & anywhere to more efficiently and effectively navigate the recruiting process. As envisioned by the Navy's Transformation initiative, ARM will be consolidated into the SPOE Customer Relations Management (CRM) in FY20. AUTHORITATIVE DATA ENVIRONMENT (ADE) ADE is part of the Navy's MPT&E IT Transformation initiative aligned directly with the Authoritative Data Environment technology component of the transformation. ADE is aimed at transitioning the current project based ADE into a full enterprise solution that is based on modern IT service models and cloud hosting technology. This will advance data analytics and visualization capabilities, and add common platform services in a big data environment that is consistent with private industry. This acceleration toward a true Navy-wide personnel authoritative data environment is a transformational increase in capability for decision support and improving personnel readiness. As part of the Transformation strategy, the Chief of Naval Personnel has directed expansion and improvements of the ADE in making MPT&E data more available to commanders, sailors, business owners and fleet executive leadership. The ADE provides infrastructure, operations and sustainment of the Navy MPT&E Authoritative Data Warehouse(ADW), enterprise service bus, and web support services. The capabilities delivered by this funding include: (1) Completed "golden record" expansion increments - Data quality - Governance - Security - Data standardization (2) Increased capabilities for MPT&E supply chain & business operations - Data discovery - Advanced visualization tools - Predictive analytics (3) Enhanced architecture to support unstructured data and "big data" analytics (4) Improved support for future identity management & access for mobile device capability RISK MANAGEMENT INFORMATION (RMI) The RMI program is a consolidation of DON risk management requirements into a single Program of Record (POR) to provide modern safety reporting and management capabilities for both active and reserve Navy and Marine Corps commands. RMI enables agile responses to business rule changes, automation of routine actions, improved data integrity, and facilitates self-service for organizations and individuals. RMI is being developed in three increments of capabilities: Streamlined Incident Reporting (SIR), Safety Program Management (SPM), and Analysis & Dissemination (A&D). A fourth requirement, Portal integration, will be accomplished as part of the development of the three RMI increments since each will be built on the same Commercial Off The Shelf (COTS) platform. Each of these capabilities will be acquired as individual Abbreviated Acquisition Programs using an incremental development approach for reengineered business processes, while consolidating five legacy systems Web-Enabled Safety System (WESS), Enterprise Safety Application Management Systems (ESAMS), Portsmouth Occupational Accident and Illness Reporting System (POAIRS), Medical Mishap and Compensation (MMAC), and Injury Tracker (INJTRK). 3167 JOINT TECHNICAL DATA INTEGRATION (JTDI) JOINT TECHNICAL DATA INTEGRATION (JTDI) Joint Technical Data Integration (JTDI) Program - JTDI funding supports the evaluation, testing and integration to develop a JTDI Government Off-The-Shelf (GOTS) solution for installation on Carrier and Amphibious Assault class ships and at other globally deployed Navy/Marine Corp aviation activities. JTDI is a digital technical data access, delivery and local Organizational & Intermediate level library management toolset. It improves accuracy and timeliness of technical manual and other technical data delivery and minimizes the Fleet's library management burden. JTDI reduces maintenance work hours with a savings Return on Investment of 2.5:1. JTDI also provides deployed maintenance personnel with 24x7 collaborative reach-back/tele-maintenance capabilities so that Fleet Support Teams/Engineering Technical Services can remotely diagnose problems and assist with repairs, and provides for process efficiencies to support ongoing Aviation Fleet Technical Representative reductions. MARINE AVIATION LOGISTICS ENTERPRISE INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY (MAL-EIT) Increased funding to accelerate the deployment of MAL-EIT 3.0 to meet the new deadline of FOC in FY19 as well as begin development of MAL-EIT 3.1. Funding supports the evaluation, development, testing and integration of software and hardware solutions across all US Marine Corps Aviation activities to be used in the planning and execution of geographically distributed, expeditionary Aviation Logistics (AVLOG) chains in support of deployed USMC Air Combat Element operations. The Marine Aviation Logistics Enterprise Information Technology (MAL-EIT) Program is one of four programs contained within the Marine Aviation Logistics Support Program (MALSP) modernization program known as MALSP II. Legacy MALSP is nearly 25 years old and grossly inadequate in IT capability to meet the informational, planning, and C2 needs of a dynamic, geographically distributed nodal AVLOG system. MAL-EIT is a Defense Business System Abbreviated Acquisition Program that will develop and deliver the required IT capability necessary to eliminate the IT related gaps existing in the legacy MALSP. 3185 JOINT AIR LOGISTIC INFORMATION SYSTEM (JALIS) JALIS is an operational scheduling and aircraft management system that facilitates real-time data analysis. JALIS is a critical element in the management of DoD air logistics assets. JALIS allows: (1) DoD Service Personnel to submit airlift requirements for DoD Personnel and cargo (2) Air Logistics Flying Units to communicate their aircraft availability in a real-time graphic display (3) Designated Scheduling Organizations to compare airlift requirements with available aircraft (4) Designated Scheduling Organizations to create mission assignments JALIS informs applicable users of mission details and modifications by using a combination of system displays and email updates. JALIS is geographically distributed and has a user base in excess of 4,000 members. JALIS facilitates the movement of thousands of DoD Personnel and tons of cargo annually in support of the following: (1) Navy Unique Fleet Essential Airlift (2) Army's Operational Support Airlift Agency (OSAA) (3) United States Transportation Command (USTRANSCOM) (4) United States Marine Corps (USMC) 3432 NMMES-TR The NMMES-TR is an Information Technology (IT) acquisition program that will provide a sustainable enterprise IT solution leveraging Commercial, Off-The-Shelf (COTS) technology and business processes for shore maritime maintenance. Unlike the uniquely custom designed status quo toolset, the NMMES-TR solution will not implement extensive product customization to match the current maintenance business processes; but rather, maintenance business processes will be modified to match the software solution, thereby adopting industry best practices. Accordingly, the solution will be more flexible to the BPR process, and more agile to capitalize on efficiency improvement opportunities and innovations. This will facilitate alignment with the Optimized Fleet Response Plan (OFRP) by assisting the maintenance activities with accomplishing assigned tasks as planned in order that submarines, aircraft carriers, and surface ships can properly train and deploy on schedule. NMMES-TR will also provide a modern solution that will be more effective and efficient in combating cybersecurity threats, and capable of continuous monitoring. The NMMES-TR initiative has been a pre-acquisition Defense Business System (DBS) effort for the past three years funded through Line Item 0605013N, Project Number 2904. In April 2017, the Department approved the NMMES-TR initiative to commence as an acquisition program, resulting in the establishment of a new Project Number 3432 beginning in FY19. 9406 MAINTENANCE DATA WAREHOUSE FY2020 funding request for RDTEN Project 9406 was reduced by $0.398 million due to availability of prior year funds. Maintenance Data Warehouse funds the Naval Aviation Enterprise (NAE) Sustainment Vision (SV) 2020 digital transformation which is a critical component of improving readiness. It will be executed in a fully agile manner providing continuous fleet readiness improvements across the FYDP. The initial SV 2020 configuration will be supported with an agile Minimal Viable Product (MVP) as the foundation for continuous capability introduction. The Aviation Logistics Environment (ALE) will provide the seamless environment to support the integration of the other capabilities developed in Maintenance Data Warehouse. Aviation Data Warehouse/Decision Knowledge Programming for Logistics Analysis and Technical Evaluation (DECKPLATE) program is the next generation data warehouse containing over 30 years of aircraft maintenance, flight, components, and usage data. Through the use of web-based, commercial off the shelf software for data load, analysis, query, and reporting tools, the user has the capabilities to effectively obtain readiness data in a near real-time environment, as well as providing historical data for long range planning, trend and records analysis, records reconstruction, and compliance with technical directives. DECKPLATE supports the mission of the warfighter who requires a single source of near real-time aviation data in which to base critical readiness decisions. DECKPLATE collects data from authoritative sources, such as the fleet maintenance systems, into a data warehouse. Because the warfighter only needs to access one database, the time consuming task of collecting various pieces of data from various sources will be reduced and ultimately eliminated. This also accomplishes a reduction in legacy systems mandated by Office of the Chief of Naval Operations. DECKPLATE manages total inventory for two major categories of assets, Aircraft (General Equipment) and Engine/Propulsion Systems/Modules (EPSMs) (Operating Materials & Supply). DECKPLATE is comprised of the transactional Aircraft Inventory and Readiness Reporting (DECK-AIRRS) and the Engine Transaction Reporting (DECK-ETR) subsystems which provide the complete lifecycle for aircraft and Engine/ Propulsion System/Modules (EPSMs). DECKPLATE has been identified as a level 1 financial feeder system due to the value of the aircraft and EPSM's managed in the system, and continues to respond to audit compliance and Cyber Security mandates. DECKPLATE is a core feeder system to numerous NAVAIR efforts. Condition Based Maintenance Plus (CBM+) solution is an initiative which provides Naval Aviation Enterprise with common enabling capabilities which deliver timely data-driven, decisional information to optimize aircraft availability and materiel readiness by incorporating health and usage leading indicators into the failure mode mitigation process, enabling the Warfighter to more efficiently meet mission requirements through automated analysis and decision making processes. The CBM+ initiative increases readiness through streamlined maintenance processes which provide the sustainment base with timely, actionable logistics/engineering data and integrated analytics not previously available, enabling engineers and acquisition professionals to support system improvements based on CBM+ acquired data and analytic results. CBM+ provides the enabling infrastructure and storage solutions within an Enterprise common environment needed to store and analyze weapon system sensor data to extend the life of current and new acquisition aircraft, realizing savings from reductions in field (organizational and intermediate) maintenance actions, reduced functional check flight hours, mishap mitigation, and reduced parts usage. The Aviation Logistics Environment (ALE) program is the Naval Aviation Information Technology (IT) solution to deliver full lifecycle weapon system logistics and maintenance capabilities to the functional Naval Aviation Support Process (NASP). ALE will provide a seamless digital environment that will improve readiness and provide for reduced system development, testing, deployment, and sustainment costs, as well as reduced cyber risk due to lower number of IT systems and ability to address capability gaps via an integrated technology schedule. It will deliver these capabilities via a net centric, shared data environment that supports shore based, afloat, and expeditionary operations. The ALE integrates IT services plane-side and interfaces with infrastructure systems where necessary. ALE is a global logistics enterprise solution and a part of the total enterprise solution architecture. ALE is designed to structure IT services with the ability to connect with other parts of the enterprise solution set, thus enabling an interoperable end-to-end business process. ALE consolidates Naval Aviation data into an integrated data environment for high level analysis. ALE will integrate, organize, and develop an underlying infrastructure and analytical capacity across the NASP in order to generate a holistic timely picture of readiness and condition for all T/M/S. ALE will be providing modern Product Lifecycle Management (PLM), Decision Support (Predictive Analytics), Planeside Interfacing, and the Enterprise Infrastructure to support the NAE. The ALE program is a "system of systems" that will provide a common, integrated data environment that will enable NAE Vision 2020 data transparency across the Naval Aviation Enterprise; end-to-end process view to enable both consuming and providing on-demand information to stakeholders; a capability to view "digital twins" of all T/M/S for both allowable and as- configured states; a consolidation of aging, near-end-of-life systems and applications to modern technology and cost efficient support infrastructures; consistent and accurate weapons systems technical and Computer Aided Design (CAD) engineering documentation to support additive manufacturing capabilities; standardized metrics, algorithms, and business analysis tools; an architecture that enables migration to the cloud; and alignment to Information Assurance (IA) and Cybersecurity standards, and Risk Management Framework (RMF) compliance. Vector (formally Integrated Logistics Management System (ILSMS)) supports the development of a common logistics analytical application which uses a disciplined approach to Business Intelligence (BI) architecture by combining products, data, technology and methods aimed at key Naval Aviation Enterprise (NAE) business processes. Vector provides a single view of the data to focus on aircraft readiness, maintenance, supply, cost, and man-hours. Vector provides naval aviation with a common view of approved key performance metrics and the capability to perform multi-system analysis of Ready for Tasking (RFT)/Ready Basic Aircraft (RBA) Gap drivers, 'Top-Down' aircraft systems analysis down to the component level. Vector identifies system performance trends early to mitigate future readiness and cost impacts to the fleet. -Dynamic Scheduling optimizes aircraft (BuNo specific), engine and component maintenance through task sequencing based on reliability and failure data, and asset utilization vice calendar directed maintenance. Dynamic Scheduling will have insight to demand across the NAE and can affect maintenance across all levels of maintenance. Dynamic Scheduling IT system capability will interface with authoritative source systems providing and consuming operational demand, man power, training, supply and others. Near term Dynamic Scheduling capability is planned for NALCOMIS OOMA and future state DS capability is planned for NAMS implementation. Both material and non-material changes implemented along with the DS IT system will provide capability that overcomes the challenges faced by the as-is state to include: Advanced scheduling capabilities interfaced with current future MRO system to enable system assisted scheduling, optimization and opportunistic maintenance. -Insight and the ability to collaborate and affect schedules across all levels of maintenance and MRO systems. -Capture and analysis of RCM mitigations strategies with the ability to quickly implement changes to maintenance tasks and periodicities. -The ability to package Technical Manuals for serial number specific, scheduled event tasks at the point of maintenance. -The ability to provide additional point of maintenance technical data and support to enable the maintainer of the future. Optimized Scheduled Maintenance and Dynamic Scheduling IT system capabilities will contribute to the reduction of MMHs and increase in operational availability objectives by positively affecting the efficiency of maintenance at the O, I & D-Levels of maintenance across the NAE. Future state OSM IT system capability may be provided by the Aviation Logistics Environment (ALE)/Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) solutions. Dynamic Scheduling IT capability is schedule to be developed as an interface to NALCOMIS OOMA in FY 19 timeframe. Future state version of Dynamic Scheduling IT capability will interoperate with Naval Aviation Maintenance System (NAMS) and other future state system such as Naval Data Repository (NDR), ALE/PLM, and Navy Depot Management System (NDMS).

Change Summary Explanation: The FY2020 funding request for PE0605013N / Information Technology Development was reduced by $13.149 million to account for the availability of prior year execution balances. Technical: Not applicable. Schedule: Project 3167 - In order to comply with Federal and DoD data center consolidation and virtualization requirements, JTDI top-tier was transitioned from Army Redstone Arsenal (RSA) and is now hosted at Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) Defense Enterprise Computing Center (DECC) in Mechanicsburg, PA. The annual release cycle typically used by the JTDI program was insufficient to deal with the technical and programmatic complexity required to move JTDI top-tier operations from RSA to DISA DECC. A transitional baseline release (JTDI Version 2.0.5.0) requiring a longer system development cycle was needed to integrate JTDI into the DISA computing environment, make adjustments to contracts, and negotiate service level agreement, terms and conditions, and pricing arrangements with DISA. Project 3432 - The program office conducted a review of the schedule in response to the 19 month schedule risk identified by NCCA during the Gate 4 Cost Review Board (CRB) and formalized in the approved Component Cost Position (CCP) dated 12 Apr 2018. After careful review of the scheduled activities, the timeline for Increment 1 and the total program were increased by a combined total of 14 months to mitigate the stated risk. Project 9406 - Due to a FY19 Congressional Mark VECTOR and Dynamic Scheduling schedules have been pushed 12 months. Funding: Changes addressed within individual projects.
