### Project 675194 — Force Development Transformation

The Force Development Transformation program contains two independent Department of the Air Force (DAF) initiatives addressing vital personnel issues: Personnel Services Delivery (PSD) and the Total Integration Mobilization Execution System (TIMES). Personnel Services Delivery: Personnel Services Delivery (PSD), under the Personnel Administration program, funds operational developments necessary to acquire, field, and modify business processes to transform the delivery of Human Resources (HR) capabilities through the structured redesign of the Total DAF Personnel Community's people (Active Duty, Reserve, Guard, Civilians, and Guardians), processes, and technologies. PSD Transformation fundamentally shifts the way personnel services are provided, transitioning from primarily face-to-face interactions with a personalist to a tiered model with services delivered through online self-service, contact centers, and reduced in-person interactions. PSD supports the migration of legacy applications and other information technologies from on premises data centers to a more sustainable cloud-based hosting solution and flexible services-based architecture as defined by the Defense Enterprise Service Management Framework (DESMF). In addition, funds will be used to perform studies and innovative integration efforts for common technology capabilities such as cloud migration, technology development, and mobile applications. Total Integration Mobilization Execution System: The Total Integrated Mobilization Execution System (TIMES) is an agile software development of a mission-critical National Security System (NSS) supporting all Combatant Commands and Defense Agencies. As the DAF system of record, TIMES mobilizes Air Reserve Component (ARC) forces for operational and institutional missions in support of the active component and the Secretary of War's (SECWAR) priorities of deterrence and restoring readiness. TIMES processes over 6,000 global ARC utilization requirements annually, generating mobilization authorizations for contingency operations. TIMES simultaneously and constantly designs, develops, builds, and maintains three applications internal to the TIMES system, while interfacing with twenty plus siloed DAF systems for integration and coordination.

**Named R-3 performers** (share of this project's FY2027 R-3 total, so they need not reach 100%)**:** Torch (0.3, 11%).

| Activity (R-2A) | FY2025 | FY2026 | FY2027 |
|---|---|---|---|
| PSD - Human Resource Systems (HRS) Transition | 2.1 | 1.7 | 1.8 |
| TIMES Development | 1.5 | 1.0 | 0.8 |

> R-2A activities carry the prior, current and budget year only — no five-year plan. Coverage is partial, so count them, never total them.

## Where the FY2027 request goes

| Category | Share | $M |
|---|---|---|
| Industry primes | 11% | 0.3 |
| Other / unspecified | 89% | 2.4 |

**Top named industry performers:** Torch ($0.3M, 11%).

## Mission & acquisition strategy

The Force Development Transformation program contains two independent Department of the Air Force (DAF) initiatives addressing vital personnel issues: Personnel Services Delivery (PSD) and the Total Integration Mobilization Execution System (TIMES). Personnel Services Delivery: Personnel Services Delivery (PSD), under the Personnel Administration program, funds operational developments necessary to acquire, field, and modify business processes to transform the delivery of Human Resources (HR) capabilities through the structured redesign of the Total DAF Personnel Community's people (Active Duty, Reserve, Guard, Civilians, and Guardians), processes, and technologies.

PSD: Personnel Services Delivery (PSD) employs an evolutionary acquisition strategy to deliver incremental Information Technology and Human Resources Capabilities with development contracts that are awarded in a competitive environment. Technology demonstrations and analyses will be used to reduce technology risks, assess Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) products, and produce technology insertion and migration strategies. In FY2026, a task order will be awarded to develop the executable Cloud Migration Roadmap and conduct Rapid Prototyping of critical data services. A subsequent task order or modification in FY2027 will be used to execute the Pilot Migration of the selected Military Personnel Data System (MilPDS) application component.
