DCAPES Cont Dev

Abstract

Deliberate and Crisis Action Planning and Execution System (DCAPES) is the Department of the Air Force (DAF) system used to implement the Air Force Force Generation (AFFORGEN) process and project forces (includes weapon systems, logistics, and personnel). It enables the DAF to posture mission ready and equipped forces (organized in effects-based operational capability packages) to deliver air, space and cyberspace capabilities to Joint commanders worldwide. DCAPES stores planning and execution information for DAF functional users in the four (4) main DAF disciplines: 1) operations, 2) logistics, 3) manpower, and 4) personnel. These disciplines support joint, combined, and DAF military operations worldwide. Technical requirements planned for the Continuous Development phase include Cloud production environment migration and continuous technical debt and engineering. As a Software Acquisition Pathway program, DCAPES Continuous Development will define specific requirements annually through an approved Capability Needs Statement (CNS) that will project capabilities for the upcoming FY along with two additional years. Funds will be used to perform studies and innovative integration efforts for common technology capabilities such as cloud migration, technology development and mobile application. This program element may include necessary civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver weapon system capability. The use of such program's funds would be in addition to the civilian pay expenses budgeted in program element 0605827F, 0605828F, 0605829F, 0605831F, 0605832F, 0605833F, 0605898F, 0606398F. In FY23 $0.000M was expended for civilian pay expenses in this program element, and in FY24 $0.000M is forecasted for civilian pay expenses in this program element.
