Description
Mission — Acquisition and Management Support
The program funds efforts to meet the Defense Acquisition Workforce Improvement Act (DAWIA), as well as Congressional, SECDEF, and SECAF mandates to provide program management execution tools, systems integration and architectural analysis, information technology infrastructure development, and technical workforce management. Funding also provides the framework for Air Force business and acquisition transformation in developing capabilities-based architectures, re-engineering and enabling technologies, integrating robust systems engineering into early acquisition processes, acquisition process improvement analysis, and developing and managing a technical workforce with the expertise to uniformly implement OSD and Air Force engineering guidance and policies. These efforts provide stability in Air Force Acquisition by integrating major processes to reverse trends toward unpredictable program cost, schedule, and performance to facilitate quick response to urgent operational needs from across the entire spectrum of potential conflicts. These integrated capabilities will provide OSD and AF acquisition leadership insights needed to effectively manage a complex portfolio of acquisition programs through more timely and reliable access to authoritative acquisition data. The Air Force is refocusing a number of science and technology concept explorations in artificial intelligence (AI) across command, control, communications, sensor, and intelligence areas within PE 0602788F, Dominant Information Sciences and Methods, and PE 0602204F, Aerospace Sensors, to improve and accelerate the delivery of artificial intelligence warfighting capabilities under the direction of both the Vice Chief of Staff of the Air Force and the Assistant Secretary of the Air Force (Acquisition, Technology & Logistics) and exercised through the Air Force Capability Development Council. The Air Force will now perform these science and technology concept explorations under this Program Element as the Air Force continues to respond to and reflect 1) the vision outlined for Artificial Intelligence in the 2018 National Defense Strategy, 2) expectations outlined by the February 2019 White House Executive Order on Artificial Intelligence and the United States Department of Defense (DoD) Artificial Intelligence Strategy, 3) initiatives by other Armed Services to create AI-centric organizations, 4) Senior Air Force leadership goals to develop Artificial Intelligence applications for the United States Air Force in the near term, and 5) senior Department of Defense leadership objectives to enrich and strengthen the broader Air Force and Department Artificial Intelligence ecosystem to impact national security. Additionally, this program supports Great Power Competition through an enterprise decision-making forum with proper authorities and oversight to ensure product support decisions are informed from an AF enterprise perspective to efficiently leverage resources and optimize support to the warfighter at an enterprise level. 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 element 0605827F, 0605828F, 0605829F, 0605831F, 0605832F, 0605833F, 0605898F, 0606398F. In FY24 0M was expended for civilian pay expenses in this program element, and in FY25 0M is forecasted for civilian pay expenses in this program element. This program is in Budget Activity 6, RDT&E Management Support because this budget activity includes research, development, test and evaluation efforts and funds to sustain and/or modernize the installations or operations required for general research, development, test and evaluation.

Justification
Accomplishments & Planned Programs (8)
Acquisition Mandates
Supporting Congressional, SECDEF, and SECAF mandates. Program funding provides the framework for Air Force business and acquisition.
Technical and Analytical Support
Supports Acquisition Domain-level effort to integrate existing acquisition business systems/services, data, and processes supporting key Acquisition capabilities at the enterprise level (via the Acquisition Domain Capabilities Integration (ADCI) activities). This support entails analysis required to architect an integrated environment on multiple hosting platforms to support the portfolio of acquisition business systems by solving problems across/outside of individual system boundaries with the goal of reducing redundancy, improving systems operations, and improving management of data resulting in dramatically improved transparency, efficiency, and effective management of the Acquisition process. This support also helps implement standards for data management and service-oriented design methodology to facilitate efficiency and interoperability as well as providing some business intelligence services. The creation and support of domain-level requirements and governance processes as well as the creation of domain-wide data standards are additional support items provided. In addition, includes support for Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning (AI/ML) pilots, experimentation associated with business analytics, acquisition program performance measures, and predictive analytics in support of decision-making and workforce training for the acquisition enterprise.
Great Power Competition
Supports an enterprise decision-making forum with proper authorities and oversight to ensure product support decisions are informed from an AF enterprise perspective to efficiently leverage resources and optimize support to the warfighter at an enterprise level.
Acquisition Management in support of PEO Business Enterprise Systems
Funds AF required Network Operations/LAN at Gunter, Enterprise MITRE Support, IT Services, operational AF help desks, and A&AS in support of the SECAF and SAF/AQ vision within PEO BES.
Project Management Resource Tools (PMRT)
Upgrade enterprise PMRT tools that provide program/project resource management support to the Acquisition community.
Capabilities Integration Environment (CIE)
CIE is an Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) provider that enables application proofs-of-concept, development, integration, and test activities in accredited on-premises government cloud and third-party commercial cloud environments.
USAF Artificial Intelligence Accelerator at MIT
Establish the first phase of a state-of-the-art, end-to-end, sustainable ecosystem of AI technology from basic research to transformed data sets ready for use in developing artificial intelligence algorithms and operational prototypes. This effort creates an environment where integrated teams of MIT researchers and USAF Airmen develop Challenge Problems in AI and invites the academic and commercial communities to propose solutions to those Challenge Problems.
Development and Retention
Supports activities to develop, manage and retain the acquisition workforce.
