All Domain Common Platform

All Domain Common Platform falls under Budget Activity 7: Operational Systems Development and is part of the Research, Development, Test & Evaluation (RDT&E) budget for the Air Force. The specific goal of this program is to fund the All Domain Common Platform (ADCP), which is an extensible cloud-based Infrastructure and Platform as a Service (IaaS/PaaS) hosting medium designed to deliver highly resilient Command and Control (C2) mission applications and data to Airmen deployed worldwide. The program aims to support the design, development, testing and evaluation, engineering, product management, and program management to build functionality and scalability of the platform. It also focuses on enhancing security and cyber security for continuous authority to operate (cATO) and supports Agile methodologies and Development, Security, and Operations (DevSecOps) practices to deliver improved capabilities at scale in support of mission requirements.

Furthermore, the program collaborates with primary customers such as the Air Operations Center (AOC), Intelligence Programs, the Department of the Air Force Rapid Capabilities Office (DAF RCO), and others. It aims to contribute to Joint All-Domain Command and Control (JADC2) for user-facing C2 capability with resiliency requirements met through escalating phases of warfare. The funding directly supports enablement services, data science, data engineering, machine learning, artificial intelligence, process automation, network and platform architecture, as well as prototyping efforts to increase platform capabilities. Additionally, it includes necessary civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver weapon system capability.

The program's objectives include completing construction of a resilient production Kubernetes-based platform and migrating existing customers in FY 2024. It also plans to deliver enhanced security observability tooling in support of application customers and platform services while continuing to support Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) pipelines. The program aims to scale resilient containerized architecture and increase automation for monitoring and tracking services for application customer usage. Lastly, it seeks to improve operational- and wing-level C2 mission application resilience and reliability while decreasing lead time for new capability delivery.

Overall, the program aims to ensure that ADCP is an evolving, delivered, and managed product distributed to customers ensuring the requisite tools and services needed to securely build, deploy and sustain successful C2 mission applications.
