Description
Multi-Domain Intelligence focuses on modernizing the Army Intelligence Enterprise to support Mission Command against all threats in Multi-domain Operations (MDO) by 2028. The program aims to enable intelligence professionals to execute the intelligence cycle with increased speed, precision, and accuracy in both competition and conflict. Specifically, the Intelligence Applications and Integration (Intel Apps) Program under this budget line item is a software-centric, hardware-agnostic initiative that aims to provide next-generation intelligence capabilities aligned with the National Defense Strategy and Multi-Domain Operations. It will synchronize various intelligence applications into a Cloud environment, Command Post Computing Environment (CPCE), or any dedicated hardware platform, eliminating redundant, stove-piped, and resource-intensive applications.
Additionally, the program allocates funds for Capability Drop 2 (CD2)/Army Intelligence Data Platform (AIDP) to incorporate user feedback in a Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) environment and transition from traditional acquisition to the Software Acquisition Pathway. The funding also supports the modernization of geospatial capabilities by purchasing the latest hardware and software available, with an emphasis on establishing an Enterprise-level capability, the Army Integrated Geospatial Enterprise Capability (AIGEC). The program's acquisition strategy involves procuring commercial products available from the marketplace or leveraging capabilities from agencies' standard software for integration onto the CPCE infrastructure. This approach aims to provide interoperability between applications and other components within the Army's Multi-Domain Intelligence enterprise.
