Description

Mission HRM Structural Development

The Air Force Integrated Personnel and Pay System (AFIPPS) is a web-enabled, Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) solution that integrates existing personnel and pay processes into one self-service system. AFIPPS supports how the Department of the Air Force (DAF) owns and operates the Human Resource Management domain and is a component of the AF/A1 digital transformation journey, currently underway. AFIPPS continues the transformation by providing an accurate and single authoritative source of personnel data to ensure timely delivery of pay, entitlements, allowances, and benefits to all Active Duty Air and Space Forces, Air National Guard (ANG), and Reserve (USAFR) components. AFIPPS represents the DAF's commitment to modernize business practices and provide enhanced support to service members and their families by integrating personnel and pay systems. AFIPPS will eliminate DAF reliance on the unsustainable Defense Finance and Accounting System (DFAS) and the Defense Joint Military Pay System (DJMS) for payroll processing and ensures improved auditability of service member pay. The AFIPPS program directly increases readiness for total force service members, human resources and financial management specialists, and DAF Commanders. AFIPPS will improve the DAF community's experience by allowing members to self-initiate pay/personnel actions, decreasing pay errors, and providing accurate personnel/pay data for leadership decision-making. AFIPPS modernizes the existing Military Personnel Data System (MilPDS) and adds pay and leave capability. In Jan 2021, the DAF leveraged a MilPDS self-service capability deployment to verify the baseline system had the infrastructure for the new pay and leave capability in place. The self-service capability allowed DAF Airmen and Guardians to initiate self-registration, validate member data and verify operational performance. AFIPPS revised the original deployment strategy from a single Go-Live deployment in January 2025 to a HR Deployment in second quarter fiscal year 2025 that will subsume MilPDS, a Limited Deployment to a low-risk population with no prior service in the fourth quarter fiscal year 2025 to continue HR activities with the inclusion of payroll capabilities with an additional Limited Deployment prior to Full Deployment (FD), and a FD to all DAF military personnel in second quarter fiscal year 2027 for continued HR activities with payroll capabilities. This requirement supports performance of a full financial audit as required by title 10 U.S.C Chapter 9A, Sec 240-D. Reduces civilian personnel full-time equivalents and funding in the amount of 0.196M to optimize the workforce in compliance with Executive Order 14210, "Implementing the President's Department of Government Efficiency Workforce Optimization Initiative. This program element may include necessary civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver weapon system capability; The use of such programs funds would be in addition to the civilian pay expenses budgeted in program elements 0605829F, 0605831F, 0605833F, 0605898F. In FY 2024 0.000M was expended for civilian pay expenses in this program element, and in FY 2025 0.388M is forecasted for civilian pay expenses in this program element. The FY 2026 request for AFIPPS includes 64,050 thousand of discretionary and 0 thousand of mandatory (reconciliation) for a total of 64,050 thousand. 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.

Justification

Accomplishments & Planned Programs (2)

AFIPPS - Government-Test and Evaluation

The AFIPPS Test and Evaluation Strategy encompasses Developmental Test & Evaluation (DT&E), Operational Test and Evaluation (OT&E), and a Cybersecurity Evaluation (CSE). DT&E comprises two test series: Component Verification and Integration (CV&I) and Qualification Test and Evaluation (QT&E). The DAF restructured deployment strategy and schedule as well as the OT&E Strategy based on the need to reduce system performance risks, which includes pay errors for military members. The DAF will conduct and Operational Assessment (OA) and Operational Utility Evaluation (OUE) testing ahead of all Limited Deployments starting in 4Q FY 2025. Initial Operational Test and Evaluation (IOT&E) will take place in support of a Full Deployment to all Department of the Air Force military personnel in 2Q FY 2027. This thrust includes all OT&E activities. The CSE activities accomplished within this thrust are performed primarily by Government Stakeholders.

AFIPPS - System Integrator Development & Contractor Test

Acquire and develop the activities that support the acquisition of a personnel/pay capability for DAF personnel across all components (i.e., Active Duty Air and Space Forces, ANG, and USAFR). Development initiatives can be divided into two objectives: Transactional System development and Reporting System development. The Transactional System references the AFIPPS capability to calculate and transact service member pay. The Reporting System enables service members and functional system users to pull reports and conduct analysis activities. The majority of Transactional System and Reporting System development activities are complete and undergoing government Operational Test & Evaluation (OT&E). These activities primarily drive the AFIPPS critical path. Throughout OT&E, the system integrator will implement and integrate new statutory and regulatory requirements, interface redesigns, defect resolutions identified by users, and to continue to improve payroll accuracy.
