### Project 643316 — Digital Transformation Office

The Digital Transformation Office (DTO) encompasses the acquisition and development of common digital tools, software, and training to expedite the delivery of pertinent technologies, capabilities, and weapons throughout the enterprise. This program ensures the swift and cost-effective deployment of software tools to acquisition programs by developing common, enterprise-level, cloud-hosted software tool environments; this will equip the acquisition enterprise with Model-Based Systems Engineering, analytics, requirements management, and product life cycle management tools that will accelerate the delivery of war fighting capabilities. The program's objective is to develop and deploy enterprise-wide approaches for standardizing and scaling digital tool capabilities, resulting in reduced program delivery times. This holistic approach enables unprecedented collaboration with industry, lowers contract deliverable costs through government-approved data architectures and model delivery, and enhances foundational capability across the Department of Air Force (DAF) by providing access to cloud-hosted tools to empower the acquisition workforce. This program element included all necessary expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver weapon system capability. The use of such program funds would be in addition to the civilian pay expenses budgeted in Operations and Maintenance program element 0901212F. The Digital Transformation Office, received a Congressional Add for FY2026 4.000 million for Platform Visualization Tools for Multi-Domain Threat Analysis. Upon Congressional spend plan approval, an Internal Reprogramming (IR) will be processed aligning the funding to PE 0604317F for proper execution. The Digital Transformation Office, received a Congressional Add for FY2026 2.000 million for Next Generation Aircraft Surface Inspections. Upon Congressional spend plan approval, an Internal Reprogramming (IR) will be processed aligning the funding to PE 0606004F for proper execution.

## Mission & acquisition strategy

The Digital Transformation Office (DTO) encompasses the acquisition and development of common digital tools, software, and training to expedite the delivery of pertinent technologies, capabilities, and weapons throughout the enterprise. This program ensures the swift and cost-effective deployment of software tools to acquisition programs by developing common, enterprise-level, cloud-hosted software tool environments; this will equip the acquisition enterprise with Model-Based Systems Engineering, analytics, requirements management, and product life cycle management tools that will accelerate the delivery of war fighting capabilities.

LaunchPad: Acquisition strategy is to use incremental and collaborative strategy by leveraging an existing Time & Materials (T&M) contract with plans for a new award. Enterprise Digital Environment: Acquisition strategy is to use incremental and collaborative approach by utilizing various existing partner contracts and establishing new ones where needed. Enterprise Electronics Digital Environment: Acquisition strategy is to use incremental and collaborative strategy, leveraging existing contracts with multiple partners and creating new contracts for specific vendor requirements.
