### Project DM1 — Detainee Management, Accountability, and Reporting

Detainee Management, Accountability, and Reporting (DMAR) will be comprised of both an enterprise (connected) and stand-alone (denied/degraded) software instantiation that provides Military Police (MP) Commands with the capability and capacity to operate an inclusive database to account for detainee identity, personal effects, medical conditions, legal needs, and biometrics; as well as generate reports on detainee operations to provide national and international organizations as required by law. DMAR will provide a high degree of situational understanding to Commanders in near real time across Joint Domain Operations (JDO) and Large Scale Combat Operations (LSCO). FY27 funds in the amount of $5.513M will provide support for both the software planning and execution phases.

**Named R-3 performers** (share of this project's FY2027 R-3 total, so they need not reach 100%)**:** JITC, ATEC and USAISEC (0.5, 9.5%), Program Management Office Support (PMOS) (0.5, 8.2%).

| Activity (R-2A) | FY2025 | FY2026 | FY2027 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Program Management | — | 0.5 | 0.5 |
| System Development | — | 3.9 | 4.5 |
| Test Support Costs | — | 0.3 | 0.5 |

> R-2A activities carry the prior, current and budget year only — no five-year plan. Coverage is partial, so count them, never total them.

## Where the FY2027 request goes

| Category | Share | $M |
|---|---|---|
| Industry primes | 18% | 1.0 |
| Other / unspecified | 82% | 4.5 |

**Top named industry performers:** JITC, ATEC and USAISEC ($0.5M, 9.5%), Program Management Office Support (PMOS) ($0.5M, 8.2%).

> R-3 exhibit contract funding, not USAspending obligations.

## Mission & acquisition strategy

Detainee Management, Accountability, and Reporting (DMAR) will be comprised of both an enterprise (connected) and stand-alone (denied/degraded) software instantiation that provides Military Police (MP) Commands with the capability and capacity to operate an inclusive database to account for detainee identity, personal effects, medical conditions, legal needs, and biometrics; as well as generate reports on detainee operations to provide national and international organizations as required by law. DMAR will provide a high degree of situational understanding to Commanders in near real time across Joint Domain Operations (JDO) and Large Scale Combat Operations (LSCO).

Leverage the Adaptive Acquisition Framework (AAF), Software Acquisition Pathway, to provide a detainee management, accounting, and reporting capability. Upon approval of the Acquisition Shaping Panel (ASP), precede to Contract Award for the planning, development and execution of a DMAR solution scheduled 4QFY26. Begin the execution phase to deliver a cloud based COTS/GOTS Minimum Viable Product (MVP) solution in 3QFY27 and a Minimum Viable Capability Release (MVCR) by 1QFY28.
