What it is

  • The Enterprise Platforms and Capabilities - Software Pilot Program is a research and development program run by the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD).
  • This program element funds capabilities and activities to make disparate DoD datasets more widely accessible, understandable, interoperable, and actionable across the DoD enterprise by providing a government-owned, contractor-operated enterprise data stack, analytic and AI (artificial intelligence) tools, and data and AI engineering expertise to improve DoD decision making.
  • Requested funding supports continued development and sustainment of the Advana enterprise data, analytics, and AI platform, including maintaining core infrastructure and platform services to support a rapidly growing userbase of new applications, data sources, customers, and capabilities.
  • The ADVANA Infrastructure project (project number 679) is the largest component, requesting about $238.341 million for fiscal year 2026.
  • The Business & Mission Analytics project (project number 676) enables DoD organizations to leverage data, analytics, and AI to improve decision making, and requests about $100.972 million.
  • SUNet (Secure Unclassified Network) is an off-DODIN, Government-owned (GOTS) network and compute platform providing mission support for Combatant Commands, Interagency Task Force groups, fast-moving AI missions, and emerging DoD missions, requesting about $58.97 million.
  • The Data Reform Initiative, run through the Analysis Working Group (AWG), assists the Secretary and Deputy Secretary of Defense in guiding the analytic community, requesting about $4.5 million.

Why it matters

  • The program requests $402.783 million (in USD thousands, $402,783 thousand) for fiscal year 2026 from the Research, Development, Test and Evaluation, Defense-Wide account.
  • The full fiscal year 2026 total for the program element is also $402,783 thousand, matching the discretionary request.
  • In fiscal year 2025, the Chief Digital and Artificial Intelligence Office (CDAO) focused on modernizing and scaling the Advana architecture to support more self-service data and analytic work, including push-button deployments via infrastructure-as-code and configuration-as-code pipelines, natively integrated security features, and multi-cloud deployment support.
  • SUNet adheres to DoD RMF (Risk Management Framework) standards and can support data and missions at the CUI (Controlled Unclassified Information) level and below, giving DoD flexibility to leverage industry software, tools, and developers in a secure environment.
  • The Business & Mission Analytics project supports Joint customers, including Combatant Commands, the Joint Staff, OSD Principal Staff Assistants, and cross-Service efforts.

Program Narratives

MissionSUNet

SUNet (Secure Unclassified Network) is an off-DODIN Government owned (GOTS) network and compute platform that provides critical mission support for Combatant Commands, Interagency Task Force groups, fast-moving AI missions, and emerging DoD missions that cannot be met by other existing agency-specific capabilities. SUNet adheres to DoD RMF standards and can support data and missions at the CUI level and below. The platform provides DoD with maximum flexibility to leverage best in industry software, tools, and developers in a secure environment to achieve and maintain operational advantage.

MissionData Reform Initiative (AWG)

The Analysis Working Group (AWG) assists the Secretary and Deputy Secretary of Defense in guiding the analytic community to ensure analysis products are robust and of the highest quality. The end goal is an analytic enterprise that is agile, responsive, and provides sound decision support for the Secretary and Deputy Secretary. Funding for this project supports analytic research across the Department to guide reform of the Department’s analytic enterprise. Projects that support this effort help develop a high performing and innovative analytic enterprise with the right policies, structures, people, and tools to support timely strategic decisions that create an advantage for the U.S Military now and into the future.
