Financial Management Information Systems Development

Abstract

This program element develops upgrades to existing financial management systems. These upgrades are required to comply with auditability and transparency requirements as well as improve efficiencies in processing financial transactions. This program element also supports studies and analysis to improve future program planning and execution. There are two programs within this program element: Program and Budget Enterprise Services (PBES) and Cost Estimating Modeling (CEM). PBES is a software development effort that utilizes a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) to deliver budgeting and programming capability for the Department of the Air Force. It replaces the following legacy systems, which support the budget formulation and force programming process: Automated Budget Interactive Data Environment System (ABIDES) (complete), Resource Allocation Programming Information Decision System (RAPIDS), Force Structure Data Management (FSDM), and Enhanced Tradespace Tool (ETT). Full Deployment (FD) occurred Mar 22 and PBES transitioned into Capability Support (CS) Phase in May 22. CEM is a knowledge-based study effort to improve Department of the Air Force-wide cost estimating by analyzing cost data and recommending changes to estimating models, methods, and tools. Activities also include studies and analysis to support both current program planning and execution and future program planning. This program element may include necessary civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver weapon system capability. The use of such programs funds would be in addition to the civilian pay expenses budgeted in program element 0605827F, 0605828F, 0605829F, 0605831F, 0605832F, 0605833F, 0605898F, 0606398F. In FY22 $0M was expended for civilian pay expenses in this program element, and in FY23 $0M is forecasted for civilian pay expenses in this program element. This requirement supports performance of a full financial audit as required by title 10 U.S.C. Chapter 9A, Sec 240-D. This program is in Budget Activity 7, Operational System Development because this budget activity includes development efforts to upgrade systems that have been fielded or have received approval for full rate production and anticipate production funding in the current or subsequent fiscal year.
