Readiness Decision Support Enterprise

Mission — Defense Readiness Reporting System (DRRS) source

This package incorporates RDT&E funds to maintain constant readiness landscape changes, which entail software changes, new requirements, etc. to Air Force DRRS-S. DRRS-S is an OSD platform providing readiness reporting capabilities to the DoD. The DRRS-S mission is to establish a mission focused, capabilities based, common framework that provides the combatant commanders, military services, Joint Chiefs of Staff, and other key DoD users a data-driven environment and tools in which to evaluate, in near real-time, the readiness and capability of the U.S. Armed Forces to carry our assigned and potential tasks. These assigned and potential tasks sometimes drive software changes and development specifically for the Air Force which require RDT&E funding to achieve the ability to measure readiness. One example would be the development of Combat Wing. This drives a new assessment framework which needs to be developed within DRRS-S so commanders can measure the readiness of combat wings as a single capability, which are different from the way the Air Force currently assesses readiness. By not having the development ability with the RDT&E funding, readiness reporting will not meet the needs of Joint Staff, Congress, Commanders, or any end users of Air Force Readiness data. MODIFY THE DEFENSE READINESS REPORTING SYSTEM TO SUPPORT ENCHANCE RESOURCE REPORTING FOR COMBAT WINGS: Air Force modifications to force presentation and organization requires modifications new capabilities in DRRS to allow for presented forces to reflect meaningful resource and capability ratings that fully encompass the entirety of capability packages. This change will allow the AF to present fully capability packages with a single resource rating informed by supporting unit ratings. This will provide key decision makers with decision quality data reflecting the full capability package. This is in addition to the current functional unit structure that requires deeper cross referencing to account for the full capability package. The system will combine resource data from multiple units (where reasonable) to reflect combat unit readiness informed by combat support and combat service support limits. MODIFY THE DEFENSE READINESS REPORTING SYSTEM AIR FORCE INPUT TOOL TO STREAMLINE REPORTING: The Air Force Input Tool module of DRRS is the interface by which Air Force units report Readiness. This effort streamlines the input process with structured in-system guidance to increase data quality. This effort utilizes robust tools to summarize unit resources for assessors and direct both qualitative and quantitative inputs to generate, value and risk to assigned capabilities and missions. The end state provides robust qualified Readiness data that highlights resource impacts to specific capabilities. MODIFY THE DEFENSE READINESS REPORTING SYSTEM AIR FORCE INPUT TOOL TO SUPPORT ENHANCED ANALYITCS: Updating the Air Force Input Tool to align reported resources to specific capability elements and support advanced analytics that reflect detailed data impact to specific resource shortfalls. Additionally, this effort will support ‘what if' reporting to provide AF leadership with preliminary evaluations given proposed Courses of Action (COA) options. This program is in Budget Activity 7, Operational System Development because this budget activity includes development efforts to upgrade systems that have been fielded or have received approval for full rate production and anticipate production funding in the current or subsequent fiscal year.
