## Summary

U.S. Army funding ramps 32% to a $15.6M request in FY2027 — the program's peak, sustained across the five-year plan. In the FY2027 defense authorization, the House funded it in full; the Senate funded it in full; House appropriators funded it in full.

## Funding profile

| Fiscal Year | Estimate Type | Amount ($M) |

### Project S02 — HQDA DECISION SUPPORT TOOLS & SERVICES

HQDA Decision Support Tools and Services assesses existing modeling and simulation tools, available data sources, and completed and ongoing research in order to implement adapt, and/or create algorithms and software that improve the accuracy and relevance of theater campaign analysis performed in joint and combined multi-domain contexts.

| Activity (R-2A) | FY2025 | FY2026 | FY2027 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Campaign Model Modernization | 8.3 | 8.3 | 9.2 |

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

### Project S03 — Analysis M&S Tools and Services

This Project has two functions: Function 1 (Priority 3 of the "Army Modeling and Simulation (M&S) Strategy") -- Develop M&S standards, architectures, networks and environments that promote sharing, interoperability, access, and reliable application of tools, formats, data and information among/for users. Function 2 (priority 4 of the "Army M&S Strategy") -- Develop and improve tools and technology in the form of models, simulations and data that support the full range of Army interests and deliver timely information to enhance effective decision making. These tools can be documented, verified, validated and accredited for their intended purpose. Resources under Project S03 support the M&S communities (Acquisition, Analysis, Experimentation, Test & Evaluation, Training, Intelligence) at the enterprise level through enabling efforts. These efforts include the following: (a) design models, simulations, data and tools that are resident within one organization but reusable and trusted by M&S users and specialists across the Army M&S enterprise; (b) leverage industry and academia; (c) promote interoperability within M&S and between M&S and operational capabilities.

| Activity (R-2A) | FY2025 | FY2026 | FY2027 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Develop M&S tools and technology | 1.7 | 2.4 | 5.1 |
| Develop M&S standards, architectures, networks and environments | 0.8 | 1.2 | 1.3 |

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

## Mission & acquisition strategy

This Program Element (PE) promotes the Army's Modeling and Simulation (M&S) strategy, defined by five guiding priorities: (1) formulate Army M&S policies; (2) develop and employ management processes for models, simulations and data; (3) develop M&S standards, architectures, networks and environments; (4) develop/employ new M&S tools and simulation technology; (5) develop an M&S workforce. Specifically, this PE focuses on priorities 3 and 4 to include the modernization of the Center for Army Analysis (CAA) models, simulations, and analytic capabilities.
