AVIATION DATA WAREHOUSE/DECISION KNOWLEDGE PROGRAMMING FOR LOGISTICS ANALYSIS AND TECHNICAL EVALUATION (DECKPLATE) The next generation data warehouse containing over 30 years of aircraft maintenance, flight, components, and usage data.

The Department of the Navy (DON) requires a critical software upgrade for its Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system to ensure continuity of operations, improve user experience and business agility, and embrace modern software development and delivery practices before the legacy ERP Central Component (ECC) program reaches obsolescence in 2030. Any delay in this upgrade results in an 8-30% increase in support and security costs to sustain 96,000 users within the ECC environment. Planned ERP+ system upgrades provide the DON with the following benefits: - Improved operational decision-making by providing clean, trusted data and enabling faster, mission-focused data correlations that best align resources to requirements for better readiness outcomes. - Enhanced operations and readiness by strengthening end-to-end supply chain management, improving the resilience and responsiveness of the Navy Supply System, and positively impacting parts reliability, transit times, and procurement. - Superior user experience delivered by modernized software features that employ a simple, intuitive, and responsive user experience. - Application of modern development practices that maintain relevance with new technologies like AI and advanced analytics

Navy Maritime Maintenance Enterprise Solution (NMMES) is the Information Technology (IT) toolset currently utilized to execute ship and submarine maintenance in the Naval Shipyards (NSY), Regional Maintenance Centers (RMC), Ship Repair Facility (SRF) Japan, Intermediate Maintenance Facilities (IMF), Forward Deployed Regional Maintenance Center, Pearl Detachment - Guam, and commercial industrial sites worldwide. These maintenance activities support Fleet operations 24 hours per day, 7 days per week. The NMMES IT solution is used by over 40,000 civilians and military who conduct over $10.2B of ship, aircraft carrier, and submarine maintenance and modernization on an annual basis. The NMMES program includes sustainment as well as multiple modernization efforts to ensure the continued effectiveness of the Fleet maintenance IT toolset. These efforts consist of adding mandatory enhancements, such as Financial Improvement and Audit Readiness (FIAR) changes and aligning with the Standard Accounting Budget Reporting System (SABRS) and Navy Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system requirements as the general ledger. The NMMES program provides for software changes, retiring and/or replacing of costly legacy applications, transition planning, and systems engineering for integration with existing and future solutions. These efforts align with direction to ensure that proposed interim solutions support and facilitate the transition to the planned maintenance solution end state. This program will provide modernization, migration, testing, and consolidation of obsolete IT tools and code base to the next generation of centrally hosted tools supporting Fleet Maintenance systems for the Navy. Funding for NMMES addresses critical deficiencies and minimizes the inherent risks that a catastrophic failure would be to fleet readiness. The funds are required to support the modernization of products that are on outdated software, align maintenance applications and processes with evolving shipbuilding techniques, and enhance the existing applications to make them cloud capable. The implementation of Internet of Things (IoT) for modern industrial capabilities is also driving the requirement.

MODEL BASED PRODUCT SUPPORT (MBPS) is the maritime component of Navy Product Lifecycle Management (PLM): As supported by DRPM MILE Logistics IT Services, Logistics Information Technology (LOG-IT) modernization will provide the capability of performing integrated, real-time, data driven operational and shore logistics thru an integrated infrastructure comprised of three basic and interdependent product lines, Navy PLM, Navy Supply Chain Management (SCM) and Navy Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) lines of effort which enable warfighter readiness. LOG-IT systems must be able to operate in disconnected environments with modern, cyber-secure and auditable systems that compress the Kill Chain. The MBPS program is major authoritative data source for LOG-IT. The MBPS program modernizes ship / submarine readiness modeling, technical data management, and configuration management IT systems to enable advanced digital twin and readiness analytics capabilities. MBPS provides capability to migrate legacy LOG IT applications into an integrated Navy Product Life-Cycle Management (N-PLM) environment to include both maritime and aviation support. It will be hosted in a government-approved commercial cloud environment and used on a 24/7 basis by over 200,000 personnel assigned to 286 ships/submarines, all aircraft and over 700 shore-based activities, impacting a yearly $6.5B investment in product sustainment.

JOINT TECHNICAL DATA INTEGRATION (JTDI) Joint Technical Data Integration (JTDI) Program - Funding provides an enterprise common data transport solution to support the future state for Logistics IT and Readiness: Naval Product Lifecycle Management (N-PLM), Naval Supply Chain Management (N-SCM), and Integrated Data Environment (IDE). In addition to transporting authoritative technical data to maintainers in the ashore, afloat, and expeditionary environments, JTDI also automates the movement of CBM+ data generated by smart weapon systems deployed around the globe, consolidates and makes platform sensor data available for automated ingest into the Standard Data Repository, which provides modern, highly integrated analytic capabilities to enable condition-based maintenance processes. JTDI is a digital technical data access, delivery and local Organizational & Intermediate level library management toolset that improves accuracy and timeliness of weapon system repair manuals and other technical data delivery, minimizes the Fleet's library management burden, and reduces maintenance work hours with a Return on Investment of 2.5:1. Funding supports the evaluation, testing and integration to develop a JTDI Government Off-The-Shelf (GOTS) solution for installation on Carrier and Amphibious Assault class ships, the Consolidated Afloat Networks and Enterprise Services Network (CANES), and at other globally deployed Navy/Marine Corps activities. JTDI is aligned with NAVAIR LOG IT digital transformation objectives and Navy Digital Roadmap. MARINE AVIATION LOGISTICS ENTERPRISE INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY (MAL-EIT) MAL-EIT funding supports the evaluation, development, testing and integration of software and hardware solutions across all US Marine Corps Aviation activities to be used in the planning and execution of geographically distributed, expeditionary Aviation Logistics (AVLOG) chains in support of deployed USMC Air Combat Element operations. The MAL-EIT Program is one of four programs contained within the Marine Aviation Logistics Support Program (MALSP) modernization program known as MALSP II. Legacy MALSP is nearly 25 years old and grossly inadequate in IT capability to meet the informational, planning, and C2 needs of a dynamic, geographically distributed nodal AVLOG system.

NAVY CYBERSECURITY Funding furthers the research and development of Cyber Warfare capabilities that cross all Naval Aviation systems within the Naval Aviation Enterprise improving cyber survivability and resiliency within naval aviation systems.

The MyNavy HR Transformation Portfolio will conduct a thorough review of business processes and requirements to ensure optimal alignment with the Navy's top priorities. Following the efforts related to the Strategic Alignment, the MyNavy HR Enterprise will evaluate the appropriate resourcing required for continued Research, Development, Test and Evaluation efforts required to successfully develop, integrate and field a modernized Human Resource System for the Warfighter. MyNavy HR Transformation is not just a technology refresh of existing systems, but a holistic change to how MyNavy HR Services are provided. This effort is the linchpin of the Navy's s Manpower, Personnel, Training & Education (MPT&E) Business IT Transformation strategy that stems from investing in programs that directly align with the Sailor 2025 vision. The current 70-year-old business processes and 40-year-old obsolete IT systems will not sustain anticipated Fleet growth and is neither cost efficient nor effective. MyNavy HR involves revolutionary change by using agile delivery model to the greatest extent possible to implement business IT products using the Industry Best Practices Model (e.g., early investment for largest ROI, rapid prototyping, and vanilla g Commercial Off The Shelf (COTS) products usage). MyNavy HR is a fully integrated portfolio of IT Systems organized into five distinct pillars: Navy Personnel and Pay (NP2), Learning Stack (LS), Enterprise Customer Relationship Management (eCRM), Single Point of Entry (SPOE), and Authoritative Data Environment (ADE). This portfolio of systems serves as the cornerstone of the OPNAV N1 MyNavy HR strategy. The impetus for building an adaptive family of systems is gearing MyNavy HR Transformation towards customer needs. The traditional waterfall delivery methodology of IT goods and services cannot meet the emergent requirements evolving from shortened technical obsolescence. Thus, MyNavy HR Transformation will employ an agile delivery method that is highly structured, with a repeatable software development approach designed to quickly deliver usable capability to the end user. These capabilities are packaged as Minimum Viable Products (MVPs) which are routinely delivered to the customer for their use and evaluation. Favorably received MVPs are subsequently refined and integrated into a production baseline.
