Multi-Domain Intelligence

Abstract

Multi-Domain Intelligence (MDI) is the Army Intelligence Enterprise's overarching modernization framework that drives Military Intelligence (MI) modernization priorities to field a ready Army Intelligence team supporting Mission Command against all threats in Multi-domain Operations (MDO) by 2028. The MDI framework will enable intelligence professionals to execute the intelligence cycle and associated doctrinal functions with increased speed, precision, and accuracy in both competition and conflict. The framework's emphasis on modernizing sensors, enhancing data management practices, and advancing analytical tradecraft through technology will support commanders' ability to make sound, timely decisions, placing friendly forces in a position of decisive advantage. CK4: The Intelligence Applications and Integration (Intel Apps) Program is a software-centric, hardware agnostic ACAT III Program that will provide the Next Generation intelligence capabilities aligned to the National Defense Strategy and Multi-Domain Operations by enabling intelligence professionals to work through the intelligence cycle with increased speed, precision and accuracy. The Intel Apps Program will synchronize applications (including All Source, Information Collection, Weather effects, Intelligence Support to Targeting, and Single Intelligence capabilities (HUMINT, SIGINT, IMINT)) to be integrated into a Cloud environment, the Command Post Computing Environment (CPCE), or any dedicated hardware platform, thus eliminating redundant, stove-piped, and resource intensive applications. Intel Apps will transition to the Software Acquisition Pathway in FY2024. DD8: The MDI funding will be used to enable Capability Drop 2 (CD2)/Army Intelligence Data Platform (AIDP) to incorporate user feedback in a Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) environment by transitioning from traditional JCIDS acquisition to the Software Acquisition Pathway. This environment will also implement a Development Security Operations (DEVSECOPS)) approach for generating user feedback into system enhancements/improvements. DD9: The MDI funding will also be used for the modernization of Army Geospatial hardware and software capabilities. The funding will be used to continue the establishment of the Army Integrated Geospatial Enterprise Capability (AIGEC) that builds the foundational layer off which Army products that utilize Geospatial capabilities draw data. The Army will focus on leveraging commercial items and proven technologies to the maximum extent possible in order to reduce costs and maximize superior capabilities to be delivered to warfighters.
