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.

Asked vs spent: the PB2018 book requested $5.65M for FY2018; the PB2020 book reported $7.65M as actual total obligation authority — $2.00M above the request. 7.7 − 5.7 = 2.0 USD millions — the compact figures above are rounded for reading.

Description
Mission — Intelligence Advanced Development
Intelligence Advanced Development (IAD) develops and demonstrates technology required to support warfighter needs for timely, all-source intelligence information. IAD supports global awareness, consistent battlespace knowledge, and the execution of time-critical missions. IAD focuses on enhancing defense intelligence capabilities through exploration and development of innovative tools including data analytics for mining and exploitation, machine-learning, and software automation. In FY 2026, IAD provides improved on-time information to the warfighter using new and existing data sources, streamlining data analysis; thereby reducing the footprint required; and enhancing performance. IAD requirements reflect specific warfighter and intelligence organization deficiencies at the tactical and operational levels as identified and prioritized by Air Combat Command (ACC). The Air Force Research Lab, Rome Research Site, Information Intelligence Systems and Analysis Division (AFRL/RIE), then works directly with users to meet the requirements, employing evolutionary approaches and integrating finished modules directly into the field. This PE expedites technology transition from the laboratory to operational users via rapid prototyping. IAD may also reallocate existing resources to support out-of-cycle new/updated warfighter requirements. 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 FY 2024 $0.226M was expended for civilian pay expenses in this program element, and in FY 2025 $0.142M is forecasted for civilian pay expenses in this program element. This PE received $740K Ukraine Supplemental Funds in FY 2024. This effort is in Budget Activity 4, Advanced Component Development and Prototypes (ACD&P), because efforts are necessary to evaluate integrated technologies, representative modes or prototype systems in a high fidelity and realistic operating environment.
Mission — INTELLIGENCE EXPLOITATION TOOLS (IET)
The mission is to develop prototypes which encompass several areas of intelligence exploitation including the advancement of all source correlation and fusion for the intelligence analyst. Projects include development of innovative data analytics, machine-learning, and automated software tools. The intent is to enhance the overall situational awareness for Air Force, DoD, and Coalition groups which have requirements to correlate various sources of intelligence information, including Communications Intelligence (COMINT), Electronics Intelligence (ELINT), Imagery Intelligence (IMINT), Geospatial Intelligence (GEOINT), Measurement and Signature Intelligence (MASINT), Signals Intelligence (SIGINT), Publicly Available Information (PAI) and others, in a timely manner. IET may reallocate existing resources to support out-of-cycle new/updated warfighter requirements.
Mission — INTELLIGENCE ANALYSIS CAPABILITIES (IAC)
The mission is to provide continuing development and upgrades of threat analysis capabilities to produce integrated, predictive air and space intelligence to enable military operations, force modernization decisions, and policy making. Products from IAC allow the Intelligence Analyst to accelerate and increase the accuracy of threat estimates and system descriptions to deployed operational forces. Each of the development projects within the IAC program portfolio transition technologies to the operational communities through the incremental release of upgraded versions over a period of years as development projects progress towards the final configuration. IAC may reallocate existing resources to support out-of-cycle new/ updated warfighter requirements.
Justification
Accomplishments & Planned Programs (2)
Intelligence Exploitation Tools (IET)
IET addresses the accurate and timely interpretation of various Intelligence data sources (such as digital imagery, video, documents, signals) by developing and evaluating methods to index, exploit, and manipulate disparate data products using analytics, machine-learning, and software automation. This provides the analyst with the ability to rapidly search and fuse multiple intelligence sources for improved situational awareness and to better detect anomalies. Cross domain tools enable data exploitation at multiple classification levels. In addition, methods to improve analysis of current and future foreign weapon systems are developed. IET provides enhanced warning and accuracy to allow national and military authorities a greater range of options to avert, diminish or control a crisis.
Intelligence Analysis Capabilities (IAC) Development
IAC develops tools and algorithms for Intelligence Analysts with the ability to produce accurate, predictive, relevant, and timely intelligence that supports client processes, operational planning, and mission execution. Methods include data analytics techniques, machine-learning, and software automation. IAC develops new and upgraded analysis, modeling and simulation tools focused on intelligence production supporting AF operational and developmental all source analysis functions.

No follow-the-dollar view — this program's awards haven't been crosswalked at high confidence (flows cover 312 of 1,938 programs). why coverage is partial? →
Awards
No awards are linked to this program element at high or medium confidence — the budget→award crosswalk only asserts links it can defend, and this line has none yet.
Lobbying mentions
No Senate LDA lobbying filing in the tracked data mentions this program element by code or alias.
Oversight
Department-level designation (not specific to this program)
GAO lists 5 high-risk areas for DOD as a whole. That designation covers the department, not Intelligence Advanced Development. No program-specific GAO finding for this line is in the ingested data. See the DOD oversight record.
Program dossier
No research dossier for this program — dossiers cover 50 of 1,938 programs, the largest fully J-book-detailed lines by FY2026 requested dollars. why no dossier here? →
