Financial Information Resource System (FIRST)

Abstract

The Financial Information Resource System (FIRST) is a software development effort originally intended to build a single Air Force system for programming and budget formulation. The current development activity will provide a modernized system for Force Structure Data Management (FSDM) programming that will allow the sunset of the legacy Program Data System (PDS). FIRST supports processes for force programming, formulation of budget requirements, and deliberation of budget options. These activities encompasses the budget exercise process, which affects all organizational levels, and is based on core financial and selected program information used to build the Air Force budget. FIRST will comply with the Clinger-Cohen Act; the Business Enterprise Architecture (BEA); Chief Financial Officer (CFO) Act; DoD Information Technology Standards Registry (DISR) guidelines, and; Command, Control, Communications, Computer, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (C4ISR) guidelines. FIRST will provide the capability necessary to replace PDS. Activities will also include studies and analysis to support both current program planning and execution and future program planning activities. In July 2010, SAF/FMB decided to end the FIRST development program upon the full deployment of capability required to replace PDS. FIRST development will conclude in FY11, thus no FIRST RDT&E funding is budgeted beyond FY11. In accordance with DoDI 8500.2, Information Assurance activities are broken out for FY11-FY12. 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.
