Abstract

This project allows the Army to further develop improved business practices as it relates to automation, transparency, and auditability, and collaboration. This project includes the funding of ongoing improvement to the Army Equipping Enterprise System (AE2S). AE2S provides the Army staff the ability to execute its planning, programming, budget, and execution (PPBE) mission as it pertains to equipment procurement and fielding. AE2S aggregates authoritative data from multiple Army databases to provide a common operating picture for the Army staff to use in developing funding and fielding solutions for the Army's equipment. It is the tool that Army senior leaders use to develop, review, and approve equipment funding positions. It is used extensively to answer congressional inquiries regarding equipment funding, unit on-hand quantities, projected fielding, and Transparency. This project allows the Army to improve its data architecture and software across systems in order to ensure accurate data is presented appropriately within AE2S. Additionally, this program element funds various Federally Funded Research and Development Center (FFRDC) projects that provide system engineering expertise to provide unbiased advice, formulate course of actions, analyze programs and make technical support and process recommendations to create efficiencies and improve systems. Specifically, these FFRDC projects support financial system and process improvement, equipment management and data visualization, equipment fill projections and automation recommendations. Funding provides independent technical analysis, special studies, and acquisition process improvement. In accordance with the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) 804 and support of the Office of the Secretary of Defense's (OSD) report to Congress, the Army is poised to implement an incremental approach to software development and hardware/software capability integration. This process will improve effectiveness in the management of resources, synchronization of programs and improve the auditability of funding to equipment delivery improving transparency and predictability in the equipping process.
