The vertical scale does not start at zero: the baseline sits just below this program’s smallest year, so a low point on this line is not a small amount. Read the shape for direction and the grid below for the figures.

Description
Mission — Analysis Enterprise
Countering Advanced Conventional Weapons (CACW) investment is a Congressionally approved and OUSDI backed focused on improving Scientific and Technical Intelligence (S&TI) for the combined Defense Intelligence Enterprise (DIE) program through the accelerated creation of authoritative threat engineering analysis, weapon system models, and integrated simulation of top-priority threat scenarios. CACW's goal is to increase the overall analytic health of the DIE to meet S&TI analysis and threat Modeling and Simulation (M&S) weapons technical intelligence requirements against near peer threat competitors. CACW investments are a scalable, scenario-based approach to increase S&TI analysis and threat model development capacity across the DIE to close the intelligence gap on the understanding, characterization and impact of top priority threat systems and system-of-systems. This program element may include necessary civilian pay 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 element 0605827F, 0605828F, 0605829F, 0605831F, 0605832F, 0605833F, 0605898F, 0606398F. In FY2024 3.868M was expended for civilian pay expenses in this program element, and in FY2025 5.818 is forecasted for civilian pay expenses in this program element. 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.
