Mission — Aviation Resource Management System (ARMS) source

The Aviation Resource Management System (ARMS) program will sunset in FY 2025. ARMS will be replaced by the new, cloud-based solution, Aviation Resource Tool Enterprise Mission Information System (ARTEMIS) and will ensure indefinite, secure integration with existing operations systems. ARMS is a web-based on-line management information system designed to support the base level Director of Operations (DO), aircrew supervisors, and managers. ARMS provides management policies and ensures the status of the Air Force flying programs are available to flying/jump supervisors to make resource allocation decisions. ARMS ensures accurate tracking of flying and ground training programs for each weapon system at each base and provides accurate and timely aircrew/parachutist information which assists in monitoring, tracking, and scheduling military training required to meet Air Force mission requirements. Additionally, the ARMS manages flying hours for aircrew parachutists world-wide to include USAF, Air Force Reserve Command (AFRC) and the Air National Guard (ANG).The current ARMS functionality resides at a Defense Information System Agency (DISA) DECC and consists of "5” logical modules to include: Flight, Individual Training, Jumper Aircrew, Resource Tracking, Reports, and System. The sustainment of these capabilities and the introduction of new capabilities follows an agile development process, but the effectiveness of that process is severely limited by the existing production environment. This requirement supports performance of a full financial audit as required by title 10 U.S.C. Chapter 9A, Sec 240-D. 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 0605827F, 0605828F, 0605829F, 0605831F, 0605832F, 0605833F, 0605898F, and 0606398F. In FY 2024 $0.000 million was expended for civilian pay expenses in this program element, and in FY 2025 $0.000 million is forecast for civilian pay expenses in this program element.

Mission — Other Flight Training source

Other Flight Training (OFT) program provides systems and data sources for recording and managing aircrew training information, aircrew/parachutist management, flying hour tracking, flight pay management, and flying gate tracking for 60,000 Air Force members. The Air Force uses this information to enhance safety-of-flight operations and to determine eligibility to perform aviation related events. OFT includes Aviation Resource Management System (ARMS), which will sunset in FY 2025 and be replaced by a new cloud-based, Aviation Resource Tool Enterprise Mission Information System (ARTEMIS). ARTEMIS will provide common architecture across multiple programs/applications yielding real-time analytics for aircrew, missileer and parachutist training, readiness, and electronic flying hours reports covering 65,000 Aircrew/Parachutists and used by 2,800 1C0X2 Career Field members with 2.2 million transactions per week. New development work is required to provide additional flying operations information to ensure Air Force readiness and interface this data into Defense Readiness Reporting System Strategic (DRRS-S). These enhanced capabilities, to be developed incrementally, include the following but not limited to electronic flight record, flying hour management/execution, simulator and RPA management/utilization, full career logbook, training look-back, aircrew member man-month allocation, enhanced resource and jump module management, and additional interfaces. This program element may include necessary civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver weapon system capability. The use of such program funds would be in addition to the civilian pay expenses budgeted in program element 0605827F, 0605828F, 0605829F, 0605831F, 0605832F, 0605833F, 0605898F, 0606398F. In FY 2024 $0.000 million was expended for civilian pay expenses in this program element, and in FY 2025 $0.000 million is forecast for civilian pay expenses in this program element. 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.

Mission — Air Resource Tool Enterprise Mission Information System (ARTEMIS) source

Air Resource Tool Enterprise Mission Information System (ARTEMIS) will provide a cloud-based solution and ensure indefinite, secure integration w/existing operations systems. It will provide dashboards and data analytics support decision making for informing readiness assessments. The sustainment of these capabilities and the introduction of new capabilities follows an agile development process. The cloud environment provides the Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) pipeline required to constantly deliver software in and agile framework, following the required DevSecOps methodology. The migration to the cloud environment and the DevSecOps methodology will transform ARMS into a scalable and flexible system capable of meeting all information requirements of the Aviation Resource Management community. This requirement supports performance of a full financial audit as required by title 10 U.S.C. Chapter 9A, Sec 240-D. 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 0605827F, 0605828F, 0605829F, 0605831F, 0605832F, 0605833F, 0605898F, and 0606398F. In FY 2024 $0.000 million was expended for civilian pay expenses in this program element, and in FY 2025 $0.000 million is forecast for civilian pay expenses in this program element.
