Multi-Domain Intelligence

Mission — Multi-Domain Intelligence source

Multi-Domain Intelligence (MDI) is the Army Intelligence Enterprise's overarching modernization framework that drives modernization priorities to field a ready Army Intelligence team supporting Mission Command against all threats in Multi-Domain Operations (MDO). The MDI framework will allow intelligence professionals to execute the intelligence cycle and associated doctrinal functions with increased speed, precision, and accuracy in both competition and conflict. The framework's emphasis on modernizing sensors, enhancing data management practices, and advancing analytical tradecraft through technology will support commanders' ability to make sound, timely decisions, placing friendly forces in a position of decisive advantage. CK4: The Intelligence Applications and Integration (Intel Apps) Program is a software-centric, platform agnostic ACAT III Program that will provide the Next Generation intelligence capabilities aligned to the National Defense Strategy and Multi-Domain Operations by enabling intelligence professionals to work through the intelligence cycle with increased speed, precision and accuracy. The Intel Apps Program will synchronize applications (including All Source, Intelligence Support to Targeting, Weather Operational Effects, Information Collection Management, and Single Intelligence capabilities (HUMINT, SIGINT, IMINT) to be integrated into the Mission Command Platform architecture, including Next Generation Command and Control, onto dedicated Intelligence Edge Nodes where applicable, extending Army enterprise intelligence from the Army Intelligence Data Platform to the Tactical Edge. This line will also be used for the initiation of the AIDP SW ICD project, with initial award and development. DD8: The MDI funding will be used to enable Capability Drop 2 (CD2)/Army Intelligence Data Platform (AIDP) to incorporate user feedback in a Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) environment. This environment will also implement a Development Security Operations (DEVSECOPS) approach for generating user feedback into system enhancements/improvements. This line will continue to inform and support Army Intelligence integration with the Next Generation Command and Control systems at the strategic and operational levels. DD9: The MDI funding will also be used for the modernization of Army Geospatial hardware and software capabilities. The funding will be used to continue the establishment of the Army Integrated Geospatial Enterprise Capability (AIGEC) and initiate activities for the One World Terrain - Operational (OWT-O). AIGEC and OWT-O build the foundational layer for Army products that utilize Geospatial capabilities including Next Generation Command and Control and the Army Intel Data Platform. The Army will focus on leveraging commercial items and proven technologies to the maximum extent possible to reduce costs and maximize superior capabilities to be delivered to warfighters.

Mission — Geospatial Intelligence (GEOINT) source

The Army Integrated Geospatial Enterprise Capability (AIGEC) is the singular set of modernized Army Geospatial and Geospatial Intelligence (GEOINT) requirements that will deliver modernized capabilities from enterprise to the tactical edge. AIGEC advances the Geospatial Engineer's ability to perform the functions of Generation, Management, Analysis & Dissemination (GMAD) and Geospatial Intelligence Imagery Analyst's ability to perform Processing, Exploitation, and Dissemination (PED) of data which supports a commander's assessment of the battlefield providing actionable intelligence. AIGEC requirements include: enterprise delivery of software and licensing, generating data to fill the gaps in the Theater Geospatial Database (TGD), and Standard Sharable Geospatial Foundation (SSGF); managing the data to support the Multi-Domain Operations and the Next Generation Command and Control Common Operational and Intel Pictures; analyzing the terrain in support of the Military Decision Making Process (MDMP) with predictive analyses, providing actionable information products such as the Course of Operations (COO) for Intelligence Preparation of the Operational Environment (IPOE); and disseminating data and information via web services, image tiles, and hardcopy publishing. The FY26 funds in the amount of $8.743 million will support market research, prototyping, development, and integration of capabilities into Army Mission Command systems (like NGC2) and Intel Systems (like AIDP & TITAN).

Mission — Army Intelligence Data Platform (AIDP) source

The Army Intelligence Data Platform (AIDP), also known as Distributed Common Ground System - Army (DCGS-A) Capability Drop 2 (CD2) is a commercial item acquisition to modernize the Army Intelligence Data Enterprise with data warehousing and advanced analytical capabilities. AIDP is operationalized by the Army's Intelligence Security Command (INSCOM) and uses AIDP for the Army Intelligence and Security Enterprise (AISE). AIDP provides the Army Enterprise capabilities hosted in the Cloud that supports specific functionality such as Data Ingestion (Bringing data into the system), Data Persistence (Storing data within the system), Data Egress (Sharing data with other systems), Normalization (Ensuring data is in a standardized form and format), Deduplication and Correlation (Combining data based on rules or duplication), Advanced Analytics such as Geospatial Feasibility, Course of Action Projection, Pattern Discovery and Detection. The AIDP RDTE funding will be used to develop, and test Develop Security Operations (DEVSECOPS) system enhancements and soldier driven workflow improvements to the AIDP software. RDT&E will also be used to continue integration of strategic Army intel capabilities with Next Generation Command and Control systems. The FY26 funds in the amount of $8.802 million will focus on the continued development, integration, and testing of the Army Intelligence Data Platform (AIDP) with NGC2.

Mission — Intelligence Apps and Integration (MIP) source

The Intelligence Applications and Integration (Intel Apps) Program is a software-centric, platform agnostic ACAT III Program that will provide the Next Generation intelligence capabilities aligned to the National Defense Strategy and Multi-Domain Operations by enabling intelligence professionals to work through the intelligence cycle with increased speed, precision, and accuracy. The Intel Apps Program will synchronize applications (including All Source, Intelligence Support to Targeting, Weather Operational Effects, Information Collection Management, and Single Intelligence capabilities (HUMINT, SIGINT, IMINT) to be integrated into the Mission Command Platform architecture, including Next Generation Command and Control, onto dedicated Intelligence Edge Nodes where applicable, extending Army enterprise intelligence from the Army Intelligence Data Platform to the Tactical Edge. The FY26 funds in the amount of $17.299 million will focus on continued integration, and test and evaluation of Intel Apps 3 & 4 (Weather Operational Effects and Information Collection Management) and the initiation of the Software Pathway Program to fulfill the requirements of the new AIDP SW ICD.
