DEAMS Continuous Capability Development
Abstract
The FY 2018 NDAA Sections 873/874 directed OSD to streamline software development. In FY 2022, DEAMS was included in an OSD pilot initiative in which all lifecycle funding will be tracked under BA08, Software and Digital Technology Pilot Programs. No FY 2022 Pilot programs were initiated, resulting in the shift of the request from FY 2022 to FY 2023. Pilot programs will test the ability to execute modern software development practices encompassing development, procurement, modification and maintenance activities. The DEAMS pilot program in PE 0608920F, RDT&E, Air Force, BA08 includes Air Force RDT&E, Other Procurement, and Operations & Maintenance funds transferred from PE 0901554F. DEAMS is a commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS), Oracle-based software implementation which provides an auditable, modern accounting and finance management capability. It is the Department of the Air Force's (DAF) core accounting and financial management solution and is a key component of the DAF's long-term business process improvements needed to sustain auditability and correct financial system weaknesses. DEAMS is deployed at 170 installations world-wide supporting 17,000 users at all Air Force Major Commands, within the U.S. Space Force, and at Unified Commands where the DAF is the executive agent. DEAMS is a joint DAF and United States Transportation Command (USTRANSCOM) Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Program that replaces numerous inefficient and/or obsolete legacy accounting and finance systems and provides core funds execution management functions consistent with financial management laws, regulations and policy, general ledger, funds management, payments, receivables, cost and revenues, and fiduciary reporting. The DAF is planning to increase DEAMS usage within the acquisition community to include acquisition program management offices, laboratories, test centers, and air logistics complexes. These deployments will add an additional 4,500 users for a total of 21,500 users. DEAMS is compliant with the Clinger-Cohen Act and the DoD's Business Enterprise Architecture (BEA). DEAMS is the key to DAF's compliance with the Financial Improvement and Audit Readiness (FIAR) requirement. This requirement supports performance of a full financial audit as required by title 10 U.S.C. Chapter 9A, Sec 240-D. 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 FY 2021 0.212M was expended for civilian pay expenses in this program element, and in FY 2022 0.216M 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.
