## Summary

This activity requests $64.4M in FY2027, 100% of project 059, up 272% on FY2026. The R-2A exhibit describes it across FY2025–FY2027, including what the FY2027 money is planned to buy.

## What the FY2027 request buys

**FY2027 planned work.** ($15.512 million) Scaffolding and Infrastructure - Build and scale a multi-cloud joint enterprise digital infrastructure on IL-5, Il-6, and JWICS for DevSecOps and hosting digital platforms and AI tools. ($32.583 million) Data Collection, Processing, and Integration – expands data engineering, data science, and digital governance capabilities to enable enterprise data pipelines and data governance standards. Scales the development and deployment of a production joint data integration platform(s)which replaces legacy data systems on IL-5, IL-6, and JWICS. ($9.150 million) Acquisition Visibility and Workflow Transformation – Build and scale a Department-wide acquisition visibility application which replaces legacy systems on IL-5, IL-6, and JWICS. ($4.233 million) Human-Centered Design, Measurement and Testing – expands the prior year’s capability which is centered on Human-Machine Teaming and workflow transformation. Serves as the independent component for the program, optimizes the functional interface between users and advanced digital/AI models to reduce cognitive workload and eliminate operational latency.

**FY2026 to FY2027 change.** In FY 2027, Acquisition Visibility request supports Digitization Acquisition Transformation.

## Before the request year

**FY2026 plans — current year.** ($1.947 million) Scaffolding and Infrastructure - Initiates the building of a joint enterprise digital infrastructure in an IL-5 GovCloud for DevSecOps and hosting digital platforms and AI tools. ($11.095 million) Data Collection, Processing, and Integration – refactors the data engineering, data science, and digital governance capabilties to enable enterprise data pipelines and data governance standards. Also initiates the development and deployment of a prototype joint data integration platform(s)to begin the process of replacing legacy data systems on IL-5. ($1.650 million) Acquisition Visibility and Workflow Transformation – Initiate the development and deployment of a Department-wide acquisition visibility application prototype to replace legacy systems on IL-5. ($1.814 million) Human-Centered Design, Measurement and Testing – establishes a new capability centered on Human-Machine Teaming and workflow transformation. Serves as the independent component for the program, optimizes the functional interface between users and advanced digital/AI models to reduce cognitive workload and eliminate operational latency.

**FY2025 accomplishments.** • Enable Capability Portfolio Management and Integrated Acquisition Program Review (IAPR) data identification and alignment • Identify analytics use cases and prepare customer needs statements to support new information requirements • Develop dashboards, visualizations, and reports for acquisition decisionmakers using data science tools • Deploy analytic products in Advana (or an approved Analytic Layer) for access by the end users • Expand the AVDF to add new data definitions and business rules • Track Acquisition pathway health/policy support
