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 PB2017 book requested $7.85M for FY2017; the PB2019 book reported $4.58M as actual total obligation authority — $3.27M below the request. 4.58 − 7.85 = -3.27 USD millions — the compact figures above are rounded for reading.

Description

Mission — Joint Warfighting Program (JWP)

The Joint Warfighting Program (JWP) supports the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Acquisition (ASD(A))'s responsibilities for acquisition and portfolio management. The JWP underwrites analyses, studies, performs limited scope experiments, wargaming, and partnerships that define joint capability gaps and develops credible requirements for follow-on acquisition efforts. These analyses and assessments deliver independent perspectives on potential remedies to align acquisition investments and solutions for joint capability gaps created by future warfighting environments and emerging threats. The JWP supports mission engineering integration management, as well as other high priority emerging issues requiring independent analysis to inform acquisition decisions that impact National Security.

Justification

Accomplishments & Planned Programs (1)

Acquisition Analysis for Joint Capability Requirements

(FY 2024 Accomplishments): - Continued acquisition analyses through a portfolio management lens to address joint warfighting mission areas critical to national defense. Major focus areas are: - Mission Thread Analysis: Continue development of a Digital Engineering environment and methodology to automate, simplify, and integrate Mission Engineering. - Continue efforts to effectively implement enterprise Capability Portfolio Management to align strategic efforts and optimize capability investments across the Department. - Continue assessment of the status of execution phase activities and challenges in costing an agile software program, flexibility and extensibility of the technical architecture, software development control processes, and sufficiency of mechanisms used to map requirements and monitor execution progress to product roadmaps. Joint All Domain Command and Control (JADC2) Acquisition Analysis: This portfolio review focused on Long Range Fires in the INDOPACOM with a focus consideration for Joint All Domain Command and Control enablers. Efforts analyzed the health of essential services required to create and sustain JADC2 capabilities and kill webs to support current Joint Force Operating Scenarios. The review analyzed select CJADC2 enabling systems for the health of the program and assess possible replacement systems. Study on MTA / OTA Utilization: Conducted a Congressionally-mandated study and report on the Utilization of Middle Tier of Acquisitions and Other Transaction Authority Across the Department to assess (1) data on the production OTA and MTA contracts across the Department by service and by product-type; (2) what products and services the Department is procuring using OTAs and MTAs; (3) composition of the entities the Department is contract with using OTAs and MTAs, including size (revenue and employees), type (filing status), geography, and industry; (4) data on the trends in defense OTA and MTA obligations by service and buyer for the past 5 years; (5) data on the competition for production OTA and MTA contracts for each fiscal year beginning with fiscal year 2018; and (6) data on trends in OTA and MTA production contracts transitions to programs of record.

No awards are linked to this program element at high 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 Joint Warfighting Program — no program-specific GAO finding for this line is in the ingested data. See the DOD oversight record.

No research dossier for this program — dossiers cover 50 of 1,741 programs, the largest fully J-book-detailed lines by FY2026 requested dollars. why no dossier here? →
