Acquisition Integration and Interoperability (AI2)

Abstract

AI2 was established to create an enduring acquisition infrastructure for delivering integrated joint, system-of-systems capabilities, and establish the necessary policies, forums, and processes to (1) Enable the delivery of integrated defense capabilities, leveraging Military Department and service-specific system acquisition; (2) Drive adoption of threat-based mission thread analysis to inform acquisition, resourcing, and requirements decisions; and (3) Support acquisition portfolio reviews to drive resourcing and enterprise decisions. Program funding institutionalizes the lessons learned from the Department’s Competitive Advantage Pathfinders (CAP) and Integrated Acquisition Portfolio Reviews (IAPR) and aligns service-specific system acquisition programs, prototypes, and Science and Technology (S&T) projects to deliver joint integrated capabilities. The program executes studies, analyses, and pathfinding efforts to (1) Govern the processes across the Defense Acquisition System to integrate and align portfolios and programs across the lifecycle from Services, OSD Components, and Combatant Commands (COCOMs); (2) Create an enduring infrastructure, tools, and processes for Service and OSD teams to better integrate system-of-systems capabilities; and (3) Remove regulatory and institutional barriers towards leveraging service-unique acquisitions for joint requirements.
