Applications Development
Abstract
This program is part of the overarching Kessel Run portfolio. In FY 2023, PE 0207522F, Airbase Air Defense Systems (ABADS), Project 675218, Applications Development efforts are transferred to PE 0604617F, Agile Combat Support (ACS), Project 675218, Applications Development. Global all-hazards/threats to Department of the Air Force (DAF) installations continues to generate substantial risk to tactical, operational, and strategic missions. The DAF Emergency Management (EM) program builds secure and resilient installations with integrated, adaptable, and interoperable whole-of-community common core capabilities required across the range of military operations to prevent, protect against, mitigate, respond to, and recover from all-hazards/threats. The EM program is primarily concerned with natural, technological, and human-caused hazards/threats that pose the greatest risk to lives, resources, facilities, infrastructure, and mission assets. Included is DAF support to civil and host nation authorities; anti-terrorism programs; and Countering Weapons of Mass Destruction (CWMD). Funding is required to leverage advanced information technology (IT) capabilities and develop a DAF Emergency Management Information System (EMIS). DAF EMIS will excavate, consolidate, correlate, and propagate interoperable authoritative information to and from diverse mission partners (e.g., local, state, tribal, federal, higher headquarters, joint, and allied). It will generate the ability to collaborate with multi-jurisdictional partners and manage resources to save lives, mitigate resource loss, and continue operational missions. Included are capabilities to compress decision-making cycles; propagate a tactical, operational, and strategic Common Operating Picture (COP); and facilitate convergence of information through sensing, making sense, and taking action. DAF EMIS will enhance complex multi-jurisdictional/mission partner interoperability through use of common terminology, a COP, standardized processes, data sharing, and systematic methods. DAF EMIS interoperable informational capabilities are rooted in and support Homeland Security Presidential Directive 5 (HSPD-5), Management of Domestic Incidents , Presidential Policy Directive 8, National Preparedness , the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) National Planning Framework/Mission Areas, the National Preparedness System, the National Incident Management System (NIMS), Incident Command System (ICS), and explicit requirements expressed in DoD/DAF Emergency Management; CWMD; and Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear (CBRN) Defense doctrine/policy. DAF EMIS requirements support SecAF operational imperatives, the AF/A4 Basing and Logistics Enterprise Strategy (BLES), the Air Force Advanced Battle Management System (ABMS), and the Joint All Domain Command and Control (JADC2) construct. DAF EMIS requirements will be filled through agile development and new additive capabilities by leveraging the Command and Control Incident Management Emergency Response Application (C2IMERA). This tool is an installation Command and Control (C2) situational awareness and decision making capability and allows DAF EMIS to connect and integrate with the Air Force user base and C2 nodes including mission execution to include the application of air/space power authorities during crisis response operations/major combat operations. The alignment of DAF EMIS (e.g., AF/A4 delegated authorities for EM & CBRN defense) within and through C2IMERA provides significant synergistic effects regarding cost burden sharing to include advancing response/ recovery outcomes in support of DAF tactical, operational, and strategic war-fighting capabilities. Through RDT&E funding and agile development DAF EMIS will develop and deliver cross-cutting common core whole-of-community informational capabilities to 1) identify and manage all-hazard/threat risk to protected assets; 2) enhance planning and resource posturing and delivery; 3) support hazard/threat specific community resiliency training; 4) facilitate EM exercise planning and execution; 5) inform and warn the populace/public/higher headquarters; and 6) support incident/attack command and coordination during response and recovery operations. Included are DAF EMIS capabilities synchronized with DHS planning framework/mission area information capabilities to 1) prevent a threatened or an actual act of terrorism and/or nation state adversary attack through consolidating and disseminating select threat information; 2) protect lives, resources, mission assets through escalation of physical protective measures (e.g., sheltering, evacuation, hardening, etc.) to include capturing and displaying mission partner CBRN hazard COP elements; 3) mitigate the impact, severity, or consequences for community determined hazard/threat vulnerabilities (and build resiliency); 4) respond to save lives, stabilize the incident, protect personnel/assets, meet basic human needs, and set the stage for initial recovery; and 5) recover the installation by stabilizing infrastructure and restoring lifeline systems through whole-of-community collaboration (e.g., water, electrical systems, cyber systems, communications, shelter, transportation, and hazardous material), meeting the needs of individuals/the installation/local community, and prioritizing recovery of near and long-term mission generation ability. 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 FY22 0.00M was expended for civilian pay expenses in this program element, and in FY23 0.50M is forecasted for Government Program Office manpower to include civ pay, MITRE, & A&AS expenses in this program element. 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.
