Abstract

Mission Partner Environment (MPE) enables secure sharing of operational information for collaboration between and among the U.S. and mission partners to include federal, state, local, and tribal agencies, allies, coalition members, host nations, and other nations, United States (US) and international Non-Governmental Organizations, multinational treaty organizations, and private sector organizations. The MPE program enables the United States (US) Department of Defense (DoD) to execute its assigned missions with mission partners across all ranges and phases of military operations to enable combined command and control (C2) of coalition forces while promoting effective exchange of C2 and intelligence information to enable effective use of the US and partner nation military power. MPE improves survivability and lethality of US Forces by incorporating coalition partners and allies ability to share information in a secret and below releasable environment. DoD Directive 5101.22E, effective August 5, 2020, designated the Secretary of the Air Force as Executive Agent (EA) for the DoD MPE. The EA, through the Mission Partner Capabilities Office provides DoD wide enterprise-level development, integration, systems engineering, architecture, and synchronized delivery of mission capabilities to include DoD-wide enterprise services that support joint and multinational warfighting functional information sharing. Additionally, the EA executes enterprise-level MPE Planning Programming Budgeting and Execution (PPBE) activities to coordinate the development of MPE budget requirements and provide recommendations to OSD Principle Staff Assistants for PPBE guidance and to the DoD Component heads for performance guidance. The EA also documents the DoD MPE to provide a comprehensive understanding that informs future technical solutions. The FY2025 funding continues the development, integration, and testing of an enterprise architectural engineering solution in alignment with the federated mission networking framework to combine multiple coalition information sharing capabilities into a single MPE, to include modifications necessary to absorb legacy systems capabilities and capacities. In addition, this funding further supports Coalition Interoperability Assurance and Validation (CIAV) technical, analytical, and engineering support to resolve C2 interoperability challenges and evaluate existing and emerging cyber capabilities in support of the MPE ecosystem. 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 PY 0.00M was expended for civilian pay expenses in this program element, and in CY 0.00M is forecasted for civilian pay expenses in this program element. This effort is in Budget Activity 4, Advanced Component Development and Prototypes (ACD&P), because efforts are necessary to evaluate integrated technologies, representative modes or prototype systems in a high fidelity and realistic operating environment.
