Abstract

Secretariat Offices (formerly AA USN IT) SYSTEM MODERNIZATION & ANALYTICAL TOOLS: The Secretariat Automated Resources Management Information System (SARMIS) is a financial tool used by the Secretariat to formulate, execute, and report changes to organizational resources. The Secretariat Offices employs this system to support financial and resource decisions for all Secretariat activities. SARMIS produces budget materials and analysis, as well as generating allocation data. In addition, SARMIS contains organizational manpower data that assists our leaders in making necessary personnel decisions for the Secretariat. The SARMIS application is currently operating on a severely outdated and underperforming platform. This results in additional administrative overhead, error corrections, and development fixes to maintain current operations. This RDTEN funding is used to upgrade this critical software capability to a new platform, comply with mandatory DOD cyber security requirements, and develop new reporting and integration capabilities. ASN(M&RA) IT System Modernization for BCNR: The CAPS-II, CRSC, and BCNR programs are used by the Navy Clemency and Parole Board (NCPB), the Combat Related Special Compensation Board (CRSC), and the Board of Corrections of Naval Records (BCNR) to process and adjudicate approximately 17,200 cases per year. The current system defects have resulted in additional man-hours and reduced reporting functionality. This has created a longer manual process and hinders adequate statistical data from being retrieved. As a result, congressional inquiries take longer to satisfy and accuracy cannot be guaranteed. RDTEN funding will be used to redevelop systems for the CAPS-II, CRSC, and BCNR in order to meet reporting requirements, enhance system capabilities, and gain compliance with current IT standards. ELECTRONIC PROCUREMENT SYSTEM (ePS) The electronic Procurement System (ePS) is the Department of the Navy's (DON) End-to-End (E2E) Contract Writing System (CWS). It will provide the Navy and Marine Corps contracting community with a full contract writing management capability and facilitate integration with federally mandated systems, DON financial systems, and industry. The ePS will utilize Department of Defense (DoD) standards and support auditability. The ePS will address existing CWS challenges including outdated architecture, limited capabilities, scalability concerns, and existing obsolete legacy systems. Full deployment of the ePS ensures compliance of the DON's contracting abilities with the following legislative mandates: the writing and management of all contracts must now occur in congressionally approved computer systems (Section 862 of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) of 2013); the central management and oversight of all DoD business (10 U.S. Code (U.S.C.) Section 2222); and all contracting actions must be fully auditable and traceable (Section 1003 of the NDAA 2010 & Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) Financial Improvement and Audit Readiness (FIAR) Guidance). The ePS will use DoD data exchange capabilities (e.g.; Procurement Data Standard (PDS) and Purchase Request Data Standard (PRDS)) in order to achieve standardized data interoperability with external systems. The Navy Enterprise Service Bus (NESB) serves as the hub to relay procurement data to various finance and other systems of record, such as Navy Enterprise Resource Planning (Navy ERP), Standard Accounting & Reporting System (STARS) and Standard Accounting Budgeting & Reporting System (SABRS). The result of successful ePS implementation will be a contracting workforce that conducts standardized, seamless, end-to-end contract management in a secure computing environment, issuing timely contracts that comply with all DoD/Federal laws, regulations, and policies. NMCI ENTERPRISE SERVICE TOOLS(NEST) The NMCI Enterprise Service Tools (NEST) is the NMCI IT service management system that supports the Navy IT service lifecycle business workflow. NEST includes, the NMCI Enterprise Tool (NET) and the Requirements to Award Process Tool (RAPT)and other applications which enable and manage the business workflow. NET is a custom application that has been built and maintained by the DON to support ordering of IT services. RAPT manages the requirements approval process and stores supporting documentation for previously un-priced line items. RAPT provides NET with relevant identification information for the new orderable solution, which supports the creation of orderable services. NEST serves as the single point of entry for lifecycle management of IT services on the NMCI network. FLEET ARCHITECTURE INTEGRATION TOOL (FAIT) The Fleet Architecture Integration Tool (FAIT) provides the means by which the Department of the Navy (DoN) can develop a warfighting-focused budget leveraging digital technology enabled by machine learning and artificial intelligence algorithms. FAIT is an artificial intelligence (AI) enabled decision support tool that gives users the ability to: 1) View current investment plans pertaining to platforms, weapons, sensors, and C2 across the Department of Navy (DoN) enterprise with the aid of rich visualizations; 2) Create custom excursions for analysis and investment consideration; and 3) Validate effectiveness of investment choices nearly instantaneously through direct connection to AI-enabled, war-gaming technology. The Fleet Architecture Integration Tool (FAIT) assists DCNO and CNO level decisions on POM year investments by modeling future-year end strength and capabilities against anticipated peer threats based on current year funding decision options. This capability cannot be duplicated through use or modification of current budget analysis or system modeling tool sets.
