Army Systems Engineering, Architecture & Analysis
This project is advancing its modernization efforts by digitally transforming across the Capability Portfolio Executive in support of the Assistant Secretary of the Army (Acquisition, Logistics and Technology)'s (ASA(ALT)) Mission. This project focuses on integrating data, engineering, and SoS architecture analysis to transform modernization planning and accelerate the delivery of mission-critical capabilities. By implementing CI/ CD models, adaptable System of Systems (SoS) engineering, interoperability and technical risk analysis, ASA(ALT) is ensuring the rapid fielding of minimal viable products (MVPs) that meet the evolving needs of the force. Key digital transformation efforts include the development of flexible engineering processes, integrated SoS architecture products, and risk mitigation planning to optimize the Army's materiel portfolio. These efforts are enabled by the establishment of modern engineering policies, requirements aligned to CI/CD models, and synchronization of resources and acquisitions to address cross-portfolio challenges. A key focus is placed on cyber security and interoperability to ensure that all systems are secure by design, resilient against cyber threats, and seamlessly integrated across the Army's digital ecosystem. ASA(ALT)'s digital transformation initiatives are revolutionizing how capabilities are developed, delivered, and integrated to meet the demands of modern warfare. data reference architectures are enabling decision dominance by providing commanders with timely, actionable data while eliminating institutional barriers to Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) adoption. Modern software practices, such as secure coding principles and Development, Security, and Operations (DevSecOps) methodologies, ensure the delivery of adaptable, cyber-resilient capabilities that are secure by design. Automated interoperability assessments and compliance frameworks are embedded into the engineering process to guarantee seamless operation across joint and coalition environments, enhancing mission effectiveness and operational cohesion. As the Army embraces digital transformation, data-centricity becomes the backbone of battlefield communication, enabling faster and more informed decision-making.

FY2027 planned work Funding will continue to advance the state of practice of DE across the Army. This work will also seek to streamline communications between Government and Industry by identification of technical data and emphasis of appropriate implementation of technical data rights. Through the implementation of DE, coordination with Program Office is underway to institutionalize modern engineering processes and integrate those processes through the engineering data they produce in order to establish and maintain traceability from the activities that drive system concept development through system acquisition, fielding, and sustainment to the decision to divest. The Army's DE implementation will establish…

FY2027 planned work This Project will continue in the development of MOSA policy and implementation guidance, in accordance with NDAA FY 2017 2466a/ b/c, that leads to the certification of MOSA in MDAPs. Other responsibilities include confirming that Army programs proceeding to Milestone B have incorporated clearly defined major subsystem interfaces between the major system platform and major system components, between major system components, and between major system platforms, and that these major system interfaces are consistent with the widely supported and consensus-based standards. This Project will continue to provide overarching governance, promulgation, and integration of the programs of record…
