All Domain Common Platform

Abstract

This effort is not a new start. The FY 2018 NDAA Sections 873/874 directed OSD to streamline software development. The All Domain Common Platform (ADCP) is an OUSD(A&S) pilot initiative in which all lifecycle funding will be tracked under BA08, Software and Digital Technology Pilot Programs. Pilot programs will test the ability to execute modern software development practices encompassing development, procurement, modification and maintenance activities. The All Domain Common Platform (ADCP) is an extensible cloud-based Infrastructure and Platform as a Service (IaaS/PaaS) hosting medium built to deliver highly resilient Command and Control (C2) mission applications and data to Airmen deployed around the world. The ADCP is a warfighting capability that enables any organization to build, deploy and monitor mission applications to the end state of production. Having applications operational in various environments ensures data is accessible as it is needed across Air Force mission sets. The ADCP's collection of technologies, services and tooling enables warfighter outcomes by abstracting away technical complexity and enabling the deployment of products onto its infrastructure. ADCP is part of the overarching Air Force Life Cycle Management Center's Detachment-12 (Kessel Run) portfolio and this foundational system is the primary path to production for modernized C2 systems. ADCP is in collaboration with all primary customers of the platform and environment to include Air Operations Center (AOC), Intelligence Programs, the AF Rapid Capabilities Office (AFRCO), and others. ADCP is USAF's contributing platform to Joint All-Domain Command and Control (JADC2) for user-facing C2 capability with the resiliency requirements met through the escalating phases of warfare. Funding directly supports design, development, enablement services, security, continuous authority to operate (cATO), engineering, network and platform architecture, prototyping efforts to increase platform, communications and network capabilities, data science, data engineering, reinforcement learning, machine learning, artificial intelligence, product management and program management to build functionality and scalability of the platform. ADCP uses Agile methodologies and DevSecOps practices to deliver improved capabilities at scale, in support of mission requirements. ADCP is an evolving, delivered and managed product distributed to customers ensuring the requisite tools and services needed to securely build, deploy and sustain successful C2 mission applications. 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 0.000M was expended for civilian pay expenses in this program element, and in CY 0.000M is forecasted for civilian pay expenses in this program element. This program is in Budget Activity 8, Software and Digital Technology Pilot Program because this budget activity includes funding provided for expenses necessary for agile development, test and evaluation, procurement, production and modification, and the operation and maintenance of these programs.
