Accessions Information Environment (AIE)

Abstract

AIE supports the Army recruiter's mission to find, manage, and enlist recruits. AIE aligns authorities, responsibilities, and resources for total Army accessions. It provides the Army's strength through its four missions: (1) Enlist Soldiers, (2) Commission Officers, (3) Fulfill In-Service requirements, and (4) Support and Sustain. AIE will replace 11 legacy systems and 33 modules of the active Accessions IT systems that have been in existence for over 30 years. Legacy accessions systems have experienced frequent outages and unstable performance, directly impairing the Army's ability to complete its recruiting mission. Successful implementation is of utmost priority for the enterprise. AIE is a critical Army modernization effort to re-engineer the business processes for Army Accessions and to ensure the Army can acquire the best qualified talent, meet manning requirements, and complete readiness objectives. The delivery of AIE will provide an enterprise level capability for recruiting Army Soldiers across all components, enabling transparent and efficient workforce accessions. AIE is a COTS based information technology (IT) software system that will modernize the accessions environment (AE). Key AIE functions/core capabilities include lead generation & management, prospecting, interviewing, processing, pay & incentives, intelligence, marketing, training/leader development. AIE deployment will leverage an agile approach versus the standard waterfall method. FY 2024 RDT&E funding supports iterative design configuration for the AIE solution including requirements analysis, program management support, business process reengineering, interface development, integration, cybersecurity, systems engineering, developer and test software licenses, test and evaluation, and ongoing analysis of potential alternatives to support solution requirements. AIE FY 2024 RDT&E funded activity is critical in that it supports the deployment of the AIE system to the first and second wave of recruiters. In FY 2022, Accessions Information Environment's (AIE's) RDT&E funding line transitioned to PE 0605233A Accessions Information Environment (AIE), CP8: Accessions Information Environment (AIE). Prior to FY 2022, AIE's RDT&E PE was 0605013A Information Technology Development, FL9: Army Accessioning IT Development. AIE's OPA line also transitioned in FY 2022, from APE BE4164000 to B45015000.
