Integrated Personnel and Pay System-Army (IPPS-A)

Abstract

The Integrated Personnel and Pay System-Army Increment II (IPPS-A Inc II) provides an integrated, multi-Component, personnel and pay system that streamlines existing Human Resources (HR) systems and processes by enhancing efficiency and accuracy of personnel and pay procedures in support of 1.1 million Soldiers. This program is an essential building block to reform the Department of the Army towards achieving greater performance and affordability in support of the National Defense Strategy and the Congressional audit mandate. The IPPS-A program has deployed two major software releases: Release 2 completed a phased deployment of Military Human Resource capabilities to all Army National Guard (ARNG) units in the 54 states and territories in March 2020. Release 2 replaced the Standard Installation/Division Personnel System and consolidated many disparate state/territory systems into one single solution. Release 3 completed a phased deployment of Military Human Resource and talent management capabilities across all Army components (Active, Guard and Reserve) in January 2023. Release 3 fully subsumed 12 legacy systems and 11 partial capabilities bringing the Army's Total Force into a single authoritative system. In accordance with the Acquisition Strategy approved by the Army Acquisition Executive on 21 June 2022, the next major software capabilities are Military Payroll (previously referred to as Release 4) and providing software enhancements to the existing solution. The program is transitioning from a waterfall development approach to an agile development approach for future delivery of capabilities. The FY 2024 RDT&E budget supports technical analysis for the Military Payroll solution and provides funding for a competitive contract award to begin iterative design and build for the future capabilities. In addition, the funding will support software enhancements for the Human Resource capabilities.
