Abstract

2901 Navy Enterprise IT SECNAV PROJECTS IT SYSTEM MODERNIZATION The Department of the Navy Chief Information Officer, Technology Division (DONCIO IT) provides Information Technology (IT), Information Assurance (IA), Information Management (IM), Document Management (DM), Records Management (RM), Knowledge Management (KM) and other related support services to the Secretary of the Navy (SECNAV), Chief of Naval Operations (OPNAV), and the DON Secretariat. This support spans across over 24 organizations, covers nearly 6,000 individual customers, and countless worldwide end users. NAVY'S CIVILIAN HUMAN CAPITAL STRATEGY (HCS) HCS enables the DON to access, curate, and engage the best civilian talent, taking into account the DON's unique mission and its global impact on U.S. national security. The Secretary of the Navy (SECNAV) directed the HCS Task Force to develop the DON's HCS as a commitment to provide the civilian workforce a world-class experience with opportunities for continuous learning and career mobility, augmented with consumer-grade digital platforms. The HCS Task Force will provide expertise and innovation to catalyze change and drive enhanced performance of business operations. 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. NMCI ENTERPRISE SERVICE TOOLS (NEST) Navy's Next Generation Enterprise Network (NGEN) utilizes the NMCI Enterprise Service Tools (NEST) as an integrated set of tools that facilitate the full service lifecycle management (SLM) of customer service requests for IT services, including RAPT(Requirement to Award Process Tool), NET (NMCI Enterprise Tool), and Enterprise Reporting. NEST is considered a Government Owned/ Contractor Operated defense business system (DBS) that has a valid ATO. WARFIGHTING CAPABILITY ASSESSMENT - FORCE LEVEL INTEGRATION (FLINT) FLINT is a digital decision support solution that enables mass exploration of POM alternatives, positioning the Navy's POM programing process to evolve from a subjective human capital and document-centric process to a data driven, model-centric process that leverages automated frameworks and computing to serve as the analytical underpinning for developing the POM. FLINTs mission is to integrate the numerous and disparate tools, databases, models, simulations, analyses, and subject matter expertise necessary to facilitate and optimize Navy POM decision making. FLINT provides senior leadership with programming options that capture the fiscal trade-offs and their consequences to warfighting effectiveness when measured against defined criteria and enables relative valuation across all POM requirements. LIVE, VIRTUAL, AND CONSTRUCTIVE (LVC) TRAINING DEVELOPMENT Under the Optimized Fleet Response Plan (OFRP) the IWC lacks a Live, Virtual and Constructive (LVC) capability or facility for basic unit level training or advanced/integrated training for Carrier Strike Group (CSG), Amphibious Readiness Group (ARG) and DESRON staffs. Training is also constrained by security limitations and an inability to replicate adversary tactics, techniques and procedures (TTPs) with a representative opposing force. The ability to participate in the Navy Continuous Training Environment (NCTE) facilitates the integration of IW capabilities into an existing training, with an end goal being to provide reconfigurable training modules to include classrooms, hardware systems, software, scenario generation teams, and debrief tools. Providing the Fleet with a scalable virtual environment to train and build proficient IW capable forces will strengthen our warfighting ability. NEXT GENERATION ENTERPRISE NETWORK (NGEN)NETWORK ARCHITECHTURE DESIGN AND TESTING The Next Generation Network (NGEN) program mission is to ensure and provide a modernized enterprise approach to delivery of a fully integrated, interoperable, and secure networking platform capable of delivering the information technology (IT)-based mission needs of major Fleet and shore-based Navy claimants and stakeholders. The network has begun modernization efforts towards a flexible and agile IT standard approach, using an architecture and service strategy aligned with commercial best practices. The new service delivery approach features diverse sourcing, leveraging of cloud/web-scale infrastructure and software-defined flexibility, which the Navy will seek to take advantage of the NGEN-R family of contracts. NGEN is implementing a technical enterprise architecture that replaces obsolete technologies associated with NMCI and ONE-Net platforms. Navy's Digitization Journey is dependent upon the Navy's Enterprise Network. The modernized platform will meet today and future mission requirements. Current on-premise infrastructure must transform and evolve to a future cloud native environment to enable the warfighter to access data across multiple domains. Through recapitalization of applicable legacy hardware and converging network infrastructure toward a cloud native design, Next Generation Enterprise Network will reduce the need for constant platform reconfiguration and ensure the end-user receives current capabilities required to perform job functions at various classification levels. Multifactor authentication and centralized management of user personas enables zero-trust based cyber security from the onset of system development throughout the entire lifecycle. Uniform enterprise security controls across the system lifecycle ensures consistency across the development, testing, and operational phased deployment workflow thus reducing rework. The flattened network design will enable contracting and acquisitions to quickly deploy solutions from the labs to the user community in near real-time. 2903 NAVAIR IT Configuration Management Information System (CMIS) - 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. Further, this line sustains Naval Aviation's Red Team capability to research, identify and validate nation-state exploitable cyber susceptibilities and vulnerabilities in both deployed and next-generation warfighting platforms. Through it, these efforts improve Naval Aviation's mission survivability by developing and demonstrating operational TTPs within the cyber-contested environment. The team partners with Naval Aviation programs to certify theorized cyber weaknesses and thus to prevent denial, degradation or disruption of safety, readiness, and mission. The Red Team's assessment products support CYBERSAFE certification of platforms and systems, and likewise supports PMAs and OPNAV with validated threat data to prioritizing systems security engineering (SSE) investments. The team leverages national-level cyber warfare experts, all-source intelligence, and technology research to assess NAE operational technology, fleet exercises, support equipment, enterprise logistics systems, and supply chain. Digital Thread (DT)- Capability provides digital process integration with complete, secure and authoritative data, coordinated as part of approved Navy LOG-IT. DT integrates the product life cycle to provide universal access to authoritative data and workflow automation, enabling configuration management of data, implementation of closed loop quality, and consolidation of engineering products including digital enablement of additive manufacturing. 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/additive manufacturing data architecture and repository. Digital Production Floor (DPF)- Initiative modernizes Navy Aviation Depots by removing paper from the Production floor and integrating key Quality elements to support a true digital North Star ensuring viability and alignment with broader Naval Logistics IT (LOG-IT) enterprise initiatives to realize a fully unified digital sustainment capability. This capability aligns and leverages ongoing Digital Thread /Aviation Product Lifecycle Management (AvPLM) efforts to transform our existing way of doing business and align us with commercial best practices for digitization of business processes. Current paper based processes have demonstrated inefficiencies and administrative delays in performance and quality of product on Depot level repair turnaround times. 2904 NAVSEA IT This program includes the funding for the Information Technology (IT) tools utilized in shore maritime maintenance planning, execution, tracking, quality control, certification, closeout, employee qualifications, and payroll. This program supports ship, submarine, and aircraft carrier maintenance. The Navy Maritime Maintenance Enterprise Solution (NMMES) includes efforts for the development, support, and sustainment of maritime shore maintenance and includes multiple modernization efforts to insure effectiveness of Fleet maintenance systems. This includes the retirement and/or replacement of costly systems and applications, transition planning, and systems engineering for integration with current and future enterprise solutions. These efforts align with direction to insure that these solutions support a planned, single maintenance solution end state, as well as direction to align with multiple laws, regulations, policies, and guidance across the FYDP. It includes the modernization of Naval Shipyard, Regional Maintenance Centers, and Forward Deployed Naval Forces' planning, Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) production tools. This includes modifications/enhancements to Shipyard IT applications, for work execution management, critical chain scheduling, workload and performance applications, the availability cost tracking, and material management applications, and other solutions such as the Electronic Technical Working Document (eTWD) initiative. The goal is to provide modernization, migration, and consolidation of obsolete legacy IT tools to a modern, supportable, and modular solution enabling Fleet Maintenance across Intermediate and Depot level maintenance activities worldwide for the Navy. 2905 BUPERS IT MyNavy Human Resources (HR) Transformation - formerly known as Manpower, Personnel, Training & Education (MPT&E) Transformation -- will change how HR services are provided throughout a Sailor's entire "Hire-to-Retire" lifecycle and improve fleet combat readiness. By streamlining processes and systems, MyNavy HR will improve the speed, accuracy, and quality of personnel and pay services, better positioning the Navy to equip and manage its people. This effort is the linchpin of the Navy's MPT&E Business IT Transformation strategy that 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 neither cost efficient nor effective. MyNavy HR involves revolutionary change by using agile delivery model to the greatest extent possible to implement business IT products using the Industry Best Practices Model (e.g., early investment for largest ROI, rapid prototyping, and vanilla COTS products usage.) MyNavy HR is a fully integrated portfolio of IT Systems organized into five distinct pillars: Navy Personnel and Pay (NP2), Learning Stack (LS), Enterprise Customer Relationship Management (eCRM), Single Point of Entry (SPOE), and Authoritative Data Environment (ADE). This portfolio of systems serves as the cornerstone of the OPNAV N1 MyNavy HR strategy. The impetus for building an adaptive family of systems is gearing MyNavy HR Transformation towards customer needs. The traditional waterfall delivery methodology of IT goods and services cannot meet the emergent requirements evolving from shortened technical obsolescence. Thus, MyNavy HR Transformation will employ an Agile delivery method that is highly structured, with a repeatable software development approach designed to quickly deliver usable capability to the end user. These capabilities are packaged as Minimum Viable Products (MVPs) which are routinely delivered to the customer for their use and evaluation. Favorably received MVPs are subsequently refined and integrated into a production baseline. Rapidly integrating a family of systems using an agile methodology necessitates an overarching system integrator and coordinator to ingest pilots and prototypes into a technical baseline. The Transformation Portfolio Coordinator & Production (TPC&P) contract is an IDIQ contract that will deliver a family of systems in support of MyNavy HR. This contract will provide the Global Design & Strategic Planning to baseline the "55 to 1" technical execution plan and will articulate the "system of systems" baseline release. Additionally, pilots and prototypes that have reached sufficient maturity will be integrated and deployed into the production baseline under this contract. AUTHORITATIVE DATA ENVIRONMENT (ADE) The Authoritative Data Environment (ADE) is an enterprise information management system that will migrate the existing legacy data warehouses into a central data repository that is composed of a data warehouse, data lake, data management tools and an Application Program Interface (API) Layer. ADE will provide an authoritative data-sharing framework, leveraging scalable and interoperable technologies as well as business intelligence and data analytic capabilities. ADE will need to interface and integrate with SPOE and all MyNavy HR transactional and business systems, including enabling 'plug & play' of new services, technologies, and system capabilities. Some of the key principles of ADE include: 1. Flexible architecture and scalable design. 2. Data Governance to produce authoritative, cleansed, conformed, consolidated, and calculated data. 3. Data Access to specified users. 4. Master Data Management (core elements, metadata tagging, business rules, standards, metrics, and tools). 5. Data analytics and business intelligence (descriptive, prescriptive, and predictive). 6. Identification, development, and maintenance of enterprise data policies. ENTERPRISE CUSTOMER RELATIONSHIP MANAGEMENT (eCRM) The eCRM solution will integrate business processes, supporting systems, and authoritative data in support of Navy Personnel Command's (NPC's) MNCC (My Navy Career Center), Navy Recruiting Command (NRC), Navy Education & Training Command (NETC), and other commands that manage the Navy workforce. The eCRM solution provides an approach to manage information on current and future Sailors, veterans, and their families. The eCRM solution is organized by the following segments: 1. Sales Management - recording all stages of the prospecting process to include contact management, leads tracking, forecasting and initial processing. 2. Knowledge Management - providing the tools for identifying, capturing, evaluating, retrieving, and sharing information assets. 3. Case Management - supporting the automation of processes to formulate opinions, approvals, and fulfillment of case related requests. 4. Performance Management- supporting the performance of Navy Sailors. 5. Recruiting - eCRM capabilities provide several functions in support of the Navy's recruiting needs, to include: A. Provide personally identifiable information (PII) in a commercial cloud platform. B. Provide ability for users to access mobile platforms. C. Meet Navy Cybersecurity requirements to protect Impact Level (IL) 4 data and will achieve an Authority to Operate (ATO) from the Navy Authorizing Official (NAO). D. Support non-recruiting activities and address case management and knowledge management. Case management functionality supports tracking incidents, and knowledge management provides for sharing and collaborating across various business areas. LEARNING STACK (LS) The Learning Stack will provide a cloud-based material solution that will streamline learning management (course/content delivery and assessments), capture and record interactive learning experiences, enable curriculum authoring and development, provide student Sailor registration and administration, create and regulate course/student scheduling, and offer e-learning capabilities, such as distance learning. The Learning Stack is a delivery vehicle for the following core objectives of the Ready Relevant Learning (RRL) initiative: Learning Management System (LMS) with Assessments Learning Record Store (LRS) Curriculum Development System (CDS) Student Information System (SIS) Enterprise Resource Scheduler (ERS) Collaborative Learning Environment (CLE) The Learning Stack is one of three lines of effort that is the Navy's strategy for it learning continuum. The other two are RRL content modernization, and the Training Network infrastructure. Collectively, these three individual efforts will cultivate instruction content that meets Fleet validated needs (ashore and afloat), and provide keystone delivery mechanisms that will decrease training timelines, assimilate operational agility, and improve overall mission readiness. Additionally, the Learning Stack supports the MyNavy HR Transformation Program that includes yet expands beyond the RRL core initiatives identified above. In support of the broader MyNavy HR enterprise, the Learning Stack will provide a centralized, authoritative repository for Interactive Multimedia Instruction (IMI) courseware, officer and citizen development (NJROTC and ROTC candidate management), enlisted advancement exam development and distribution, enlisted degree completions, and tuition assistance authorizations. The RRL and MyNavy HR Transformation initiatives require the development of Learning Stack capabilities that permit: 1. Mobile & flexible delivery of modular training to the Sailor 2. Synchronization of work requirements with learning modules to ensure proper training delivery 3. Leveraging cloud-hosted capabilities to optimize the Learning Stack delivery model NAVY PERSONNEL AND PAY (NP2) 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 MyNavy HR 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. Navy Personnel and Pay (NP2) will sustain and develop the core system of systems architecture; executing pilot programs and iterative development of capabilities for Navy's MyNavy HR Transformation. The NP2 adapts and reengineers business processes to conform to the technical parameters of PeopleSoft 9.2 while integrating with the Direct to Treasury Pay Capability via Pay Modernization (Pay Mod). This combined effort will result in a 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 Defense Joint Military Pay 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. SINGLE POINT OF ENTRY (SPOE) SPOE is an information management concept that provides an intuitive self-service capability for Sailors to view and manage personnel and career information, providing Sailors with access to information including learning content, HR applications, and career business processes. SPOE will be the user-facing capability, enabling the MyNavy Career Center (MNCC), linking Sailors to modernized personnel and pay capabilities in NP2, providing Sailor training through the LS, and access to authoritative data, which holds their personnel and pay record information. SPOE consolidates Navy's Human HR portals, knowledge, and applications into a single, simplified user experience and will include processes and functionality, such as: 1. Integration of capabilities, to include: My Navy Portal (MNP), Mobile Applications, CRM solution, and Credential Access Management (ICAM); 2. MNP A. Serve as the My NavyHR's single point of entry to Sailors HR resources B. Provide capability to have a low bandwidth version accessible to Sailors operating in a restricted bandwidth environment C. Provide CAC-free access for Sailors accessing MNP via personal devices such as smart phones, tablets, personal laptops and computers. 3. ICAM A. Provide authentication and single sign on capability for access to the objective My Navy HR capability 4. Mobility Program A. Ability to host and manage mobile applications through the Navy App Locker B. Provide Mobile application management suite/platform C. Develop new MNP mobile application - native app for Sailors to access personal data and career life events 2953 MODEL BASED PRODUCT SUPPORT (MBPS) - Formerly known as Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) Logistics Information Technology (LOG-IT) modernization will provide the capability of performing integrated, real-time, data driven operational and shore logistics. LOG-IT systems must be able to operate in disconnected environments with modern, cyber-secure and auditable systems that Compress the Kill Chain. The MBPS program is major authoritative data source for LOG-IT. The MBPS program modernizes ship / submarine readiness modeling, technical data management, and configuration management IT systems to enable advanced digital twin and readiness analytics capabilities. MBPS provides capability directed by ASN RDA (IAW ASN RDA Acquisition Decision Memorandum of 5/25/2021) in support of Digital Transformation to migrate legacy LOG IT applications into an integrated Navy Product Life-Cycle Management (N-PLM) environment to include both maritime and aviation support. It will be hosted in a Government-approved commercial cloud environment and used on a 24/7 basis by over 200,000 personnel assigned to 286 ships/submarines, all aircraft and over 700 shore-based activities, impacting a yearly $6.5B investment in product sustainment. Additional resources are required to complete MBPS capability to execute the replacement of legacy LOG IT systems into N-PLM to support Planned Maintenance, Modernization Planning, and Operational Availability reporting. Use of RDT&E funding allows for performance of engineering development, design testing, data integration, training development and cybersecurity requirements and award capability development via Other Transaction Authority or via PTC development contract to complete MBPS MVPs and align efforts with NAVAIR under PEO MLB to transition to a single Navy PLM beginning in FY23. Per CNO's address to SASC 31 July 2019, "Given the changing security environment and the increasingly multi-domain nature of threats, accelerating our Navy's digital transformation will be critical to preparing our Sailors to deter, fight and win. Digital technologies have the potential to be a force multiplier, putting data at the center of all of our decisions and transforming how we fight, stay ready, and conduct business operations." MBPS will enable global visibility across all weapon systems, all echelons and all supported units with real-time logistics and readiness data in a single picture to compress the logistics kill chain. 3167 JOINT TECHNICAL DATA INTEGRATION (JTDI) Joint Technical Data Integration (JTDI) Program - Funding provides an enterprise common data transport solution to support the future state for Logistics IT and Readiness: Naval Product Lifecycle Management (N-PLM), Naval Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (N-MRO), Naval Supply Chain Management (N-SCM), and Integrated Data Environment (IDE). In addition to transporting authoritative technical data to maintainers in the ashore, afloat, and expeditionary environments, JTDI also automates the movement of CBM+ data generated by smart weapon systems deployed around the globe, consolidates and makes platform sensor data available for automated ingest into the Standard Data Repository, which provides modern, highly integrated analytic capabilities to enable condition-based maintenance processes. JTDI is a digital technical data access, delivery and local Organizational & Intermediate level library management toolset that improves accuracy and timeliness of weapon system repair manuals and other technical data delivery, minimizes the Fleet's library management burden, and reduces maintenance work hours with a Return on Investment of 2.5:1. 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, the Consolidated Afloat Networks and Enterprise Services Network (CANES), and at other globally deployed Navy/Marine Corps activities. JTDI is aligned with NAVAIR LOG IT digital transformation objectives and Navy Digital Roadmap. Marine Aviation Logistics Enterprise Information Technology (MAL-EIT) - MAL-EIT 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 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. MAL-EIT is a family of IT solutions to be developed and delivered in three increments. These increments are depicted below: Expeditionary Pack Up Kit (EPUK): Provides Expeditionary Supply Operations to include business administration, inventory, and customer service operations. Next Generation Buffer Management System: Provides buffer management in a time domain, and buffer sizing analysis. Logistics Planning Tool and Optimizer Tool: Provides capability to develop tailored Remote Expeditionary Support Packages, consumption forecasts, and Nodal Logistics Lay down designs. 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) 9406 MAINTENANCE DATA WAREHOUSE 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. Aviation Logistics Environment (ALE) provides a global logistics enterprise solution, delivering capabilities via a net-centric, shared data environment that supports shore-based, afloat, and expeditionary operations. ALE consists of three components; Ground Station, Aviation PLM, and Enterprise Service Bus (ESB). The Maintenance Engineering Ground Station for Aviation (MEGA) is the Naval Aviation Type/Model/Series (T/M/S)-agnostic ground station. MEGA is currently under development using Government off-the-Shelf (GOTS) software and PLM/ESB is configuring Commercial off-the-Shelf (COTS). The Aviation Product Lifecycle Management (Aviation PLM) capability will provide the digital thread of aviation logistics data for allowable and as-configured Repair Bill of Materials (R BOM) sustainment, technical bulletins, technical directives and engineering change proposals, and reliability centered maintenance and maintenance planning. The Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) capability will provide the digital backbone for data connections to and from authoritative data sources. ALE consolidates aging, near-end-of-life systems and applications and aligns Information Assurance (IA) and cybersecurity requirements. 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).

Schedule: Project 2901 - ePS: Based on Limited Deployment (LD) delays and number of defects found during LD UAT, PMW 250's Contracting Officer issued a "Stop-Work Order" ordering the Contractor to "stop work" for Limited Deployment requirements. To assess alternatives, PMW 250 conducted market research for commercial alternative starting in July and determined none of the commercial solutions reviewed met the ePS requirements. PMW 250 continued market research and performed a Feasibility Study to assess the viability of a Non-Developmental Item (NDI) solution, Air Force's Contract Information Technology (CON-IT), developed by the USDA for the Air Force; it required minor modifications for use in the DON. It was concluded the NDI would be a solid foundation for the Navy's solution which is based on an open, modular, portfolio-based approach. The Navy procurement portfolio solutions will resolve for additional modular capabilities through iterative make, build, buy decisions engaging rapid-prototyping and evaluation resolving for requirements with the best solution for each balancing overall value with cost and speed to delivery. Project 2905 (Navy Personnel and Pay (NP2): The Navy Personnel and Pay (NP2) Initial Operating Capability (IOC) has been delayed to January 2024. Consolidating the legacy business systems across the MyNavy HR Portfolio revealed more complexities than expected, driven by external interfaces for 30+ year old legacy systems with undocumented business processes and system alterations. In response, within the execution year, NP2 has refocused on more robust product development, integration, and technical / functional testing activities. This robust approach to end-to-end testing will mitigate risk to payroll accuracy during NP2 Go-Live. --- FY 2023 funding increase reflects the fact that the FY 2022 President’s Budget request did not include out-year funding.
