What project DD8 buys

The Army Intelligence Data Platform (AIDP) modernizes the Analysis and Exploitation capabilities of the Army Intelligence Enterprise. AIDP enables situational development, understanding, and intelligence support to targeting from strategic and operational echelons to the tactical edge. It sets the Army's intelligence data foundation and enables intelligence analysis at echelon, using data from all domains. All Theater Armies use AIDP as the common intelligence picture (CIP) to directly feed their Combatant Commands' common operating pictures (COP). Processed AIDP intelligence is made available to tactical commanders to make real-time battlefield decisions. AIDP utilizes agile software development processes to deliver user-prioritized incremental capability releases. The FY27 funds in the amount of $34.830 million will be used for the development, integration, and delivery of priority Army Intelligence capabilities in the Cloud and on edge devices. See Classified QUAD for more information. Details provided under separate cover.

What project DD9 buys

The Army Integrated Geospatial Enterprise Capability (AIGEC) and One World Terrain Operational (OWT-O) are the modernized geospatial requirements for best-of-breed 2D and 3D capabilities that deliver timely, accurate, and actionable geospatial intelligence to support the Army's operational planning, execution, and decision-making. AIGEC enables full spectrum Geospatial Intelligence from Enterprise to Tactical to include the generation, management, and dissemination of the Army's Standard and Sharable Geospatial Foundation (SSGF). OWT-O will provide software capabilities that enable the generation of precise and authoritative 3D data for all Army Warfighting Functions to plan, prepare, train, and execute. The Army Geo Data Fabric (AGDF) and the NextGen GEOINT Workstation (GWS) modernize Army GEOINT hardware and software capabilities and will serve as the foundation for meeting requirements for the Army Integrated Geospatial Enterprise Capability (AIGEC) and One World Terrain Operational (OWT-O). FY 2026 $10.000 million Congressional Add for Program increase - frontline perception in project DD9. Details provided under separate cover. The FY27 funding supports the delivery of AGDF and NextGen GWS capabilities and integration. Details provided under separate cover.
