### Project 67A036 — Air Resource Tool Enterprise Mission Information System (ARTEMIS)

The Aviation Resource Tool Enterprise Mission Information System (ARTEMIS) provides a cloud-based system for recording and managing aircrew training information, aircrew/parachutist management, flying hour tracking, flight pay management, and flying gate tracking for over 68,000 Air Force members to enhance safety-of-flight operations and determine eligibility for aviation-related events. ARTEMIS, which replaced the legacy Aviation Resource Management System (ARMS) that sunset in FY 2025, is a cloud-based system providing a common architecture to effectively support the implementation of Air Force flight management policies specified in AFI 11-401 and AFI 11-402. The migration to the cloud environment and the DevSecOps methodology will transform the system to be scalable and flexible, capable of meeting all information requirements of the Aviation Resource Management community. It will provide dashboards and data analytics to support decision-making for informing readiness assessments. The cloud environment provides the Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) pipeline required to constantly deliver software in an agile framework. This program ensures the accurate tracking of flying and ground training programs and delivers real-time analytics and operations management information for aircrew, missileer, and parachutist training and readiness. Covering over 68,000 aircrew/parachutists and used by 2,800 1C0X2 Career Field members with 2.2 million transactions per week, ARTEMIS provides operations managers with immediate visibility into flying program status, enabling effective resource allocation decisions and robust support for weapon systems requirements. Funding provides continuing developmental efforts that will focus on both the sustainment and continued development of ARTEMIS to enhance adoption and ensure Air Force readiness. Ongoing sustainment activities include minimizing system downtime, resolving escalated issues, maintaining security compliance, improving data quality and architecture for enterprise reporting, sustaining integrations with other Operations Enterprise Architecture (Ops EA) initiatives, and executing feature enhancements to improve the user experience.

### Project 675304 — Aviation Resource Management System (ARMS)

In FY 2025, Project 675304, Aviation Resource Management Systems (ARMS) sunset. ARMS is a web-based on-line management information system designed to support the base level Director of Operations (DO), aircrew supervisors, and managers. ARMS provides management policies and ensures the status of the Air Force flying programs are available to flying/jump supervisors to make resource allocation decisions. ARMS ensures accurate tracking of flying and ground training programs for each weapon system at each base and provides accurate and timely aircrew/parachutist information which assists in monitoring, tracking, and scheduling military training required to meet Air Force mission requirements. ARMS manages flying hours for aircrew parachutists world-wide to include USAF, Air Force Reserve Command (AFRC) and the Air National Guard (ANG).The current ARMS functionality resides at a Defense Information System Agency (DISA) DECC and consists of "5” logical modules to include: Flight, Individual Training, Jumper Aircrew, Resource Tracking, Reports, and System. The sustainment of these capabilities and the introduction of new capabilities follows an agile development process, but the effectiveness of that process is severely limited by the existing production environment. ARMS will be replaced by the new, cloud-based solution, Aviation Resource Tool Enterprise Mission Information System (ARTEMIS) to ensure indefinite, secure integration with existing operations systems. This requirement supports performance of a full financial audit as required by title 10 U.S.C. Chapter 9A, Sec 240-D. 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 program elements 0605829F, 0605831F, 0605833F, and 0605898F.

## Mission & acquisition strategy

The Aviation Resource Tool Enterprise Mission Information System (ARTEMIS) provides a cloud-based system for recording and managing aircrew training information, aircrew/parachutist management, flying hour tracking, flight pay management, and flying gate tracking for over 68,000 Air Force members to enhance safety-of-flight operations and determine eligibility for aviation-related events. ARTEMIS, which replaced the legacy Aviation Resource Management System (ARMS) that sunset in FY 2025, is a cloud-based system providing a common architecture to effectively support the implementation of Air Force flight management policies specified in AFI 11-401 and AFI 11-402.

The ARTEMIS acquisition strategy employs an evolutionary approach to incrementally develop and field capabilities on its modern, Salesforce-based platform. Initial development was successfully executed through a partnership with the AF Business Enterprise Systems Programming Innovation (BESPIN) office, utilizing a Section 8a direct award. Current sustainment and continued development are managed through a firm-fixed-price contract, focusing on data usability, integration with the Operations Enterprise Architecture (Ops EA), and feature enhancements. ARTEMIS replaced the legacy Aviation Resource Management System (ARMS) to accelerate the transformation of future "Digital Operations Suite" and future acquisition strategy.
