### Project 541 — Materiel Sys Analysis

This project resources integrated materiel performance analyses to support Army decisions in technology, materiel acquisition, and the design, development, fielding and sustainment of Army systems. The analysis products funded by this project are leveraged to support materiel acquisition decisions and influence the design, development, and sustainment of Army weapon/materiel systems in support of the current and future force in the areas of aviation, ground vehicle and protection technologies, command and control (C2), autonomy, unmanned aerial systems (UAS) and counter UAS, ammunition, fires, assured positioning, navigation and timing (A-PNT), sustainment and other Army priorities. This project provides integrated materiel performance analysis, to Army and Department of War (DoW) decision makers throughout the entire acquisition process in responding to analytical requirements across the full spectrum of materiel. The unique in-house, consistent, integrated analytical capabilities provide Army leadership with timely, independent, unbiased, reliable, and high quality analysis to support complex decisions required for current operations and the development of the future force. The integrated set of analytical skills, tools and data repository are focused on the highest Army priorities with a core mission to build the body of evidence and deliver objective analysis and experimentation across the entire life cycle to ensure Readiness today and a more lethal future force tomorrow. This project develops and certifies system level, and systems-of-systems level, performance and effectiveness data across a broad range of capabilities such as target acquisition, probability of inflicting catastrophic damage, personnel and vehicle survivability, mobility, network, system reliability, and several additional capability areas used in Army studies. The project funds the development of item-level performance methodology, and models and simulations (M&S) for the current and future operational environments and emerging threats. The M&S capabilities support the development, linkage and accreditation of live, virtual, and constructive simulations, and provide unique tools that support systems analysis of individual systems and the combined arms environment.

## Mission & acquisition strategy

This Program Element (PE) resources the U.S. Army Futures and Concepts Command (FCC) Transformation Decision Analysis Center (TDAC) to conduct integrated materiel performance analyses to support Army decisions in technology, materiel acquisition, and the design, development, fielding and sustainment of Army materiel systems. The analysis products funded by this PE are leveraged to support acquisition decisions and influence the design, development, and sustainment of Army weapon/materiel systems in support of the current and future force in Portfolio Acquisition Executive (PAE) areas of Fires, Command and Control (C2) and counter-C2, Maneuver Gound, Maneuver Air, Agile Sustainment &…
