What project 317 buys
This project enables the Army to develop, integrate and help synchronize capability requirements and solutions into the operational force to meet the Army's goal to deliver and design future Army. Funding ensures that the Warfighter is independently represented by, complementing the materiel and non-material developers, providing total capability management that integrates all doctrine, organization, training, materiel, leadership and education, personnel, and facilities (DOTMLPF) considerations. This project provides resources to execute Capability Development and Integration Directorate (CDID) Battle Lab experimentation, assessments and analysis addressing the Army's most significant modernization challenges. The Army plans and conducts experiments to gain insights and recommendations in the development of integrated concepts and requirements to inform Army Senior Leader modernization decisions through the results of a rigorous Campaign of Learning. Funding in this project enables maintenance of the Army Capability- based Architecture Development and Integration Environment (ArCADIE) providing storage, accessibility, production, and certification of authoritative architecture data and supporting systems. ArCADIE enables the process to develop, verify and validate operational architecture for eight major BCT formations.
Project 317 funding, FY2025–FY2031
Prior years are actuals, the budget year is the request, and the outyears are the FYDP plan. Estimate types are colored and never summed into one figure. Projects carry the full five-year plan; the activities inside them stop at the budget year.

The R-2A exhibit — the only level of the budget that describes work that has not happened yet. Activities carry the prior, current and budget year only, no five-year plan. 2 of them describe FY2027 work in enough detail to have their own page; the rest are shown here in full. Coverage is partial across the corpus, so count activities, never total them.
Funding in FY27 ensures continuation of requirement determination, documentation, and integration in support of all FCC CDIDs. This will include areas of Maneuver, Soldier, Robotic, and Engineer capability development, Air Defense and Artillery formations, Sustainment watercraft and maneuver support vehicles, intelligence systems and…
