Mission & acquisition strategy
This Program Element (PE) supports oversight of the development and defense of the Army Science and Technology (S&T) budget, and development of Army S&T strategy, policy and guidance. Additionally, it supports upgrading the accuracy, timeliness, availability, and accessibility of scientific, technical, and management information at all levels of the Army Research and Development (R&D) community. Management of this information is critical to achieve the goals established by the Army's Senior Leadership.

What project 733 buys
This project funds efforts to meet the Defense Acquisition Workforce Improvement Act (DAWIA), as well as Congressional, SECDEF, and SECARMY mandates to provide program management execution tools, systems integration and architectural analysis, information technology infrastructure development, knowledge management, and technical workforce management. Funding also provides the framework for Army business and acquisition transformation for development and enhancement of capabilities to allow data to be readily available, automatically extracted to facilitate DoW-wide analysis and manage business operations, and the establishment of a set of activities that use data analysis, measurement, and evaluation-related methods to improve acquisition program outcomes and inform business re-engineering. These efforts afford stability and improvements to the Army Acquisition programmatic and financial data by integrating major acquisition systems and processes, applying decision support and expert information systems, supporting analysis, ability to measure effectiveness, and evaluation of alternative acquisition strategies in meeting Army modernization strategy requirements. This integrated set of capabilities will provide OSW and Army acquisition leadership insights needed to effectively manage a complex portfolio of acquisition programs through more timely and reliable access to authoritative acquisition data to assist in making acquisition, procurement, and logistics decisions in order to provide quality equipment to the Soldiers. The cited work is consistent with Section 911-913 of the FY 18 NDAA, the Under Secretary of War for Research and Engineering Science and Technology priority focus areas, and the Army Modernization Strategy.
