### Project 2905 — BUPERS IT

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.

### Project 9999 — Congressional Adds

C896-Cyber Supply Chain Risk Management Funding will support the development of a prototype Cyber Supply Chain Risk Management (C-SCRM) cloud system to illuminate cyber risk within the supply chain down to the individual component level. This will be accomplished through the development of system models utilizing techniques such as Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) instead of relying on classic document based approach. Analysis will leverage machine learning algorithms and artificial intelligence. Dashboards will be developed for those weapons systems that are aligned as well as a global dashboard for the Cyber Planning and Response Center. Some systems will require the creation of Software or Hardware Bill of Materials, in this case a standard data item description will be used. This effort utilizes current logistics business IT systems and their associated data lakes within an enterprise C-SCRM solution that will allow for sharing of C-SCRM data across platforms as well as syscoms resulting in reductions in cost for each program office and schedule to meet the acquisition timeline. It will also reduce risk across the enterprise by illuminating and preventing cyber vulnerabilities from propagating by sharing vulnerabilities to common critical systems and vendors before they find a way into the Fleet. CA68: This funding aligns to an OSW(A&S) effort supporting the Naval Aviation North Stars Broad Agency Announcement for Critical Protection Technology for Cyber Engineering in Aviation platforms. The effort will support zero-trust implementation into legacy and future Naval Aviation weapon systems based on mature technologies currently used to protect critical program information
