Multi-Domain Intelligence

The Multi-Domain Intelligence (MDI) program is the Army's comprehensive modernization framework for intelligence capabilities, designed to support Mission Command across all threat environments in Multi-Domain Operations (MDO). The overarching goal of MDI is to enable Army intelligence professionals to execute the intelligence cycle with greater speed, precision, and accuracy. This enhances commanders' decision-making and provides a decisive advantage. The program focuses on modernizing sensors, improving data management, and advancing analytical tradecraft through technology, ensuring readiness and adaptability in both competition and conflict scenarios.

CK4: Intelligence Apps and Integration (MIP) is a software-centric, platform-agnostic initiative aimed at delivering next-generation intelligence capabilities aligned with the National Defense Strategy and MDO requirements. The program synchronizes a suite of applications including All Source, Intelligence Support to Targeting, Weather Operational Effects, Information Collection Management, and single intelligence capabilities (HUMINT, SIGINT, IMINT) for integration into the Mission Command Platform architecture and dedicated Intelligence Edge Nodes. Funding will support continued integration, accreditation, and testing of Apps 3 & 4, as well as the initiation of the Software Pathway Program for the Army Intelligence Data Platform (AIDP) Software Initial Capabilities Document (ICD).

DD8: Army Intelligence Data Platform (AIDP) supports the modernization of the Army Intelligence Data Enterprise by providing advanced data warehousing and analytical capabilities. Managed by Army Intelligence Security Command (INSCOM), AIDP enables enterprise-level data ingestion, persistence, egress, normalization, deduplication, correlation, and advanced analytics such as geospatial feasibility and pattern detection. Funding will be used for continuous integration and deployment enhancements, incorporating user feedback and security operations to improve workflows and support integration with Next Generation Command and Control (NGC2) systems.

DD9: Geospatial Intelligence (GEOINT) focuses on modernizing Army geospatial hardware and software through the Army Integrated Geospatial Enterprise Capability (AIGEC) and the One World Terrain Operational (OWT-O) initiative. AIGEC delivers enterprise-to-tactical geospatial and GEOINT capabilities, supporting functions such as data generation, management, analysis, and dissemination. Funding will be directed toward market research, prototyping, development, and integration of these capabilities into mission command and intelligence systems, including NGC2, AIDP, and TITAN.

The Intelligence Apps and Integration line item includes specific efforts for integrating and testing software applications on designated host platforms, developing and accrediting Weather Operational Effects and Information Collection Management apps, and supporting program management, system engineering, information assurance, training, and test and evaluation. Market research and initial contract awards for the AIDP Software Initial Capabilities Document are planned to ensure the acquisition of commercial and small business solutions that meet Army requirements.

The Army Intelligence Data Platform line item emphasizes continuous improvement through two annual software releases, leveraging commercially acquired software and government-developed code. The acquisition strategy uses firm-fixed price engineering change proposals and a security-focused methodology to ensure rapid integration of user-driven enhancements. Program management, integration, and test and evaluation support are ongoing to maintain and advance the platform's capabilities.

The Geospatial Intelligence (GEOINT) line item supports the development of products meeting AIGEC requirements, such as the Army Geospatial Data Fabric, tactical geospatial capabilities, and 3D One World Terrain. The acquisition strategy prioritizes commercially available products and leverages existing government and science and technology initiatives to minimize development time and cost. Program management, integration, and test and evaluation activities are maintained to ensure effective deployment and operationalization of these geospatial capabilities across Army networks and platforms.
