U.S. Navy funding ramps 24% to a $8.3M request in FY2027, sustained across the five-year plan. In the FY2027 defense authorization, the House funded it in full; the Senate funded it in full; House appropriators funded it in full. CNP leads the industry work.

Support

This program is funded under RDT&E operationals systems development because it encompasses engineering and development of new end-items prior to production approval decision along with the enhancement and upgrading of existing Manpower, Personnel, Training, and Education decision support systems, tools, and models. This non-acquisition category program provides funds for continued R&D for broader application of advanced technlogies to transition successful research proof-of-concept demonstrations into operational use. This PE provides funding to support the transition of models and decision support tools from RDT&E funded to production and into the hands of analysts and program managers throughout the MyNavyHR enterprise. The PE also supports the application and adaptation of proven industry models, tools, and technologies to Navy MPTE problems where GOTS solutions are insufficient or non-existent. The second goal of the PE is to successfully implement 90% of the industry-standard tools that are attempted to be used in Navy applications. There is a continued need to advance the engineering development of emerging MyNavyHR business systems, technologies, and models from the Navy Warfare Centers, coordinate with other Navy Labs and Research Institutions, and fiscally participate in the transition of MyNavyHR-domain products out of the S&T research environments (e.g. ONR). Per FNC guidance, the S&T programs are to have funding split among resource sponsors and stakeholders using a shared cost model (i.e. 30/50/100%) over the engineering development timeline.
