Program detail
Mission & acquisition strategy
This program supports the Office of the Director, Cost Assessment & Program Evaluation (CAPE) by funding assessments that help to resolve budget and programmatic issues across the full range of the Department’s activities. Projects that support this effort help to inform leadership on program alternatives, capability concept development, design and cost, as well as the appropriate balance of capabilities across the force. They also help to identify how well the Department is meeting its expenditure goals, and how well the force can implement the interim National Defense Strategy.

FY2027 planned work Studies, analyses, and assessments will be focused on: - Improving cost and program analysis tools to inform program, budget, and Defense Acquisition Board reviews. - Supporting the Weapon System Acquisition Reform Act (WSARA) requirements by independently assessing, analyzing, and where appropriate, updating cost indices, inflation rates, and escalation rates used in preparing the President’s Budget for major acquisition programs. - Facilitate CAPEs role in the annual Sustainment Review and Independent Cost Estimate (ICE) process.
FY2026 to FY2027 change FY 2027 decrease supports the slight adjustment to more operation and maintenance of the cost analysis tools needed to assist with Defense Acquisition Board Reviews as well as internal adjustments to support priority requirements. Resources will fund a mix of research activities to carry out the plans stated above.

This program supports the Office of the Director, Cost Assessment & Program Evaluation (CAPE). It funds assessments that help to resolve budget and programmatic issues across the full range of the Department’s activities. Projects that support this effort help to inform the leadership on program alternatives, capability concept development, design and cost, the appropriate balance of capabilities across the force, and also to identify how well the Department’s expenditures are meeting its goals, and how well the force can implement the Defense strategy. This program provides for analytical research across the entire spectrum of defense issues and concerns. The research agenda focuses on near to long-term problems identified by the Secretary of War and addresses difficult and complex questions linked to program alternatives for current and future capabilities and forces in order to enhance DoW senior leadership's deliberations and decision-making. This program provides the scientific and technical engineering services needed for research studies in the development of models and simulations and the evaluation of current analytical tools and scientific methods used to evaluate and assess weapons systems and warfighting capabilities for warfighting environments and scenarios, and related force structure. Deliverables from this program will include reports, briefings, and analyses designed to illuminate critical issues facing the Department. Outcomes include recommendations for new modeling techniques, programmatic alternatives, and scenario development.

What project 118 buys
Enterprise Visibility and Management of Operating and Support Cost (EVAMOSC) addresses CAPE's responsibility to develop and maintain a database of actual operating and support (O&S) costs for major weapons systems, as required in 10 USC Section 4325. Additionally, the EVAMOSC data capability will directly support development and reporting of readiness metrics associated with implementation of the interim National Defense Strategy.
