## Summary

This activity requests $132.1M in FY2027, 100% of project 676, up 39% on FY2026. The R-2A exhibit describes it across FY2026–FY2027, including what the FY2027 money is planned to buy.

## What the FY2027 request buys

**FY2027 planned work.** Funding will procure data scientists, data engineers, data product support for tools to design and build high-quality data products for warfighters with enterprise-level impact. Data product teams will scale to meet the current demand and efforts will stay consistent.

**FY2026 to FY2027 change.** The increase is due to establishing Advana as an Enterprise Program of Record. The War Data Platform serves as the cornerstone of the Department's data-driven decision-making system. The platform faces compute shortfalls and aging data architecture and framework that is affecting its ability to fully deliver data and analytic capabilities, impacting operational agility and the speed of intelligence insights. Modernizing the data architecture as the requirement of expanding, increasing, and optimize the underlying data layer to expand throughput to reduce latency to ensure the platform can meet the demands of the modern warfare. The investment is to ensure the performance, scalability, and optimizing latency of this critical national security asset but also guarantees sustained development and support, providing the warfighters with an information advantage of the enterprise data platform.

## Before the request year

**FY2026 plans — current year.** Funding is procuring data scientists, data engineers, data product support for tools to design and build high-quality products for warfighters with enterprise-level impact. It is enabling CDAO to support new and existing customers by enhancing our operating model and business practices to deliver high quality data products to any tool, application or environment across the Department, thereby driving enterprise data delivery that is platform and tool agnostic.
