Inside the program element

2 projects roll up into PE 0303010F

Projects are the summable leaves — the PE total is their sum, never added to it. Program elements and projects carry the full five-year plan; activities stop at the budget year. This PE moves 13% overall, which can hide much larger swings below.

The whole program

ABMS is funded on 2 lines across 1 appropriations

This program element requests nothing for ABMS in FY2027. The program is still funded — $1.04B of it — but on other lines, which usually means the work is transferring.

Named performers on project 640018

Performers named in the R-3 exhibit under this project. Share is of the project's whole FY2027 R-3 total — the same denominator the program-element split uses, so the two read on one scale and will not sum to 100% when unnamed or government work is in the mix. Budget-justification contract funding, not obligations.

What project 640018 buys

Congressional technical adjustment transferred 18.733 million from CAIS PE 0207431F in RDT&E for FY 2025. The mission of Air Force (AF) Intelligence Surveillance Reconnaissance (ISR) Digital Infrastructure (DI) (AF ISR DI) is to provide the secure commercial cloud-based infrastructure, platform and data services, to be scaled with tenant funding to meet requirements for Sensitive Compartmented Information (SCI) and ISR cloud, platform and data services, globally, including at the edge with a focus on Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (AI/AL). AF ISR DI provides enterprise services and a secure development-security-operations (DevSecOps) platform, enabling developers to focus on delivery of mission capabilities as software applications that can be continually updated, dramatically accelerating the time to field and lowering the total ownership cost to the Department of Air Force (DAF) and can scale on demand to meet operational needs to shorten and improve Long Range Kill Chain. AF ISR DI provides the foundation for all DAF SCI cloud-based capabilities. The portfolio ensures compliance with the Intelligence Community (IC) requirements for security, architecture, data safeguarding and sharing, and integrated defense to protect IC data. AF ISR DI partners with Advanced Battle Management System Digital Infrastructure (ABMS DI, executed under PE 0604003F) to provide a consistent set of capabilities, services and customer experience across all classification levels, and meets DAF requirements while ensuring compliance with Director of National Intelligence (DNI) requirements and minimizing duplication of effort. In FY2027 AF ISR DI has seven primary thrusts. 1. Security Operations Center as a Service; which function include designs, development, and monitor the status of all DAF ISR CloudWorks capabilities and take action to protect the environment, data and applications with in it, recognize anomalies and defend itself and/or mitigate the effects of cyberattack. 2. Cloud Infrastructure as a Service; which function include designs, development, and provide enterprise services to customers, developers, and partners. This also includes providing security, identity management, cloud software solutions that is configured and sustained for use by all customers. 3.
