Program detail
Mission & acquisition strategy
The Defense Human Resources Activity (DHRA) is a Department-wide Field Activity chartered to support the Under Secretary of War for Personnel and Readiness (USW(P&R)). RDT&E funds are applied to research security and standards compliance improvements for the Common Access Card (CAC) and the Uniformed Services Identification (USID) card, which provides identification for personnel not eligible for the CAC. In FY 2025, 2.4M CACs and 1.8M USIDs were issued. Expecting similar rates of issuance through FY 2027. Funding for the Identity Credential Management (ICM) program supports the DoW Chief Information Officer’s Identity, Credential and Access Management (ICAM) initiatives.

FY2027 planned work In FY 2027, DMDC will continue to evaluate, develop and test the modernized credentialing platform with the customer assessment process.
FY2026 to FY2027 change The increase from FY 2026 to FY 2027 reflects projections for modestly increasing costs year-over-year to perform research for continually changing security requirements and standards as well as a development push to bring forward the initial deployment date to September 2026. The work will continue to develop and assess the modernized platform for web application and increased self-service capabilities.
FY2026 plans — current year In FY 2026, DMDC will continue to demonstrate and evaluate CAC issuance from the modernized solution for compliance with latest security standards. The CACs issued from the modernized solution will be evaluated to ensure access requirements are satisfied.
FY2025 accomplishments In FY 2025 the modernized identity and credentialing capability will reach initial operational capability (IOC) to demonstrate ability to issue CACs out of the modernized solution.

The Defense Human Resources Activity (DHRA) is a Department-wide Field Activity chartered to support the Under Secretary of War for Personnel and Readiness (USW(P&R)). RDT&E funds are applied to research security and standards compliance improvements for the Common Access Card (CAC) and the Uniformed Services Identification (USID) card, which provides identification for personnel not eligible for the CAC. In FY 2025, 2.4M CACs and 1.8M USIDs were issued. Expecting similar rates of issuance through FY 2027. Funding for the Identity Credential Management (ICM) program supports the DoW Chief Information Officer’s Identity, Credential and Access Management (ICAM) initiatives. DoW faces critical and escalating security and compliance risks due to its reliance on an outdated identity and access management system. Urgent investment in a modern, Commercial Off The Shelf (COTS) based system is paramount to eliminating this vulnerability, ensuring robust cybersecurity, streamlined access, and full adherence to critical federal mandates. Modernization will provide DoW with a commercial identity service that leverages modern algorithms—including Algorithm Evolution (AE) capabilities delivered through a web-based, cloud-native Next Gen Solution. This transition will yield measurable cost efficiencies, enhance the user experience, and align with strategic objectives. Furthermore, it will reduce IT complexity and significantly strengthen the security posture.

What project 01 buys
Homeland Security Presidential Directive (HSPD-12) Initiative: HSPD-12 and the Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) Special Publication 201 require Federal Agencies to issue a Personal Identification Verification (PIV) card to enable rapid electronic authentication for all Government employees, uniformed service members, and contractors. Real-time Automated Personnel Identification System (RAPIDS) is the DoW enterprise capability that issues the Common Access Card (CAC) (DoW’s implementation of the PIV card) and enables updates to the Defense Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System (DEERS), thus providing an enterprise-wide credential for both physical and logical access to DoW facilities and networks. The My DoD Identity Solution (MYDIS) is being developed to replace RAPIDS as the DoW enterprise capability that issues CAC. By utilizing commercial off the shelf (COTS) technology, MYDIS will be a more resilient system designed to deliver new features, efficiencies, and enhanced capabilities faster.
