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 — Acquisition Integration and Interoperability (AI2)
The FY 2026 request for AI2 includes $13.556 million for AI2. The AI2 was established to create an enduring acquisition infrastructure for delivering integrated joint, system-of-systems capabilities, and establish the necessary policies, forums, and processes to (1) Enable the delivery of integrated defense capabilities, leveraging Military Department and service-specific system acquisition; (2) Drive adoption of threat-based mission thread analysis to inform acquisition, resourcing, and requirements decisions; and (3) Support acquisition portfolio reviews to drive resourcing and enterprise decisions. Program funding institutionalizes the lessons learned from the Department’s Competitive Advantage Pathfinders (CAP) and Integrated Acquisition Portfolio Reviews (IAPR) and aligns service-specific system acquisition programs, prototypes, and Science and Technology (S&T) projects to deliver joint integrated capabilities. The program executes studies, analyses, and pathfinding efforts to (1) Govern the processes across the Defense Acquisition System to integrate and align portfolios and programs across the lifecycle from Services, Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) Components, and Combatant Commands (COCOMs); (2) Create an enduring infrastructure, tools, and processes for Service and OSD teams to better integrate system-of-systems capabilities; and (3) Remove regulatory and institutional barriers towards leveraging service-unique acquisitions for joint requirements.

Follow the dollar
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 Acquisition Integration and Interoperability (AI2). 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? →
