What project 675197 buys

Core Technologies in support of Algorithmic Warfare: technologies using algorithms to support USAF ISR, Joint, and the Intelligence Community (IC) operations at the scale and speed required in modern warfare against our adversaries and supports the National Defense Strategy (NDS) priority of operating at the "speed of relevance." Algorithmic technologies such as Machine Learning (ML) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) continues to reshape current sense, identify, attribute, and share Processing, Exploitation and Dissemination (PED) models to meet sustainable and effective ISR digital solutions while identifying efficiencies and thrive in a complex operating environment. Supports National Defense Strategy priority of operating at the speed of relevance and Next Generation Flight Plan. This program element included all necessary expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver weapon system capability. The use of such program funds would be in addition to the civilian pay expenses budgeted in program elements 0605829F, 0605831F, 0605833F, and 0605898F.

Prior years are actuals, the budget year is the request, and the outyears are the FYDP plan. Estimate types are colored and never summed into one figure. Projects carry the full five-year plan; the activities inside them stop at the budget year.

Inside the project

1 accomplishment / planned program

The R-2A exhibit — the only level of the budget that describes work that has not happened yet. Activities carry the prior, current and budget year only, no five-year plan. Each describes FY2027 work in enough detail to have its own page; the rest are shown here in full. Coverage is partial across the corpus, so count activities, never total them.

Named performers on project 675197

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.
