Description
The Risk Management Information (RMI) software pilot program is a strategic initiative by the Navy designed to consolidate risk management requirements into a unified Program of Record. This initiative aims to enhance safety reporting and management capabilities across both active and reserve Navy and Marine Corps commands. The primary objective is to enable agile responses to changes in business rules, automate routine actions, improve data integrity, and facilitate self-service for organizations and individuals involved in safety management.
RMI is being developed through an incremental approach, focusing on three main capabilities: Streamlined Incident Reporting (SIR), Safety Program Management (SPM), and Analysis & Dissemination (A&D). These capabilities are built on a Commercial Off The Shelf (COTS) platform, ensuring seamless integration with existing systems. A key goal is to replace five legacy systems—Web-Enabled Safety System (WESS), Enterprise Safety Application Management Systems (ESAMS), Portsmouth Occupational Accident and Illness Reporting System (POAIRS), Medical Mishap and Compensation (MMAC), and Injury Tracker (INJTRK)—with more efficient, modern solutions.
The program's development strategy involves acquiring each capability as an individual Abbreviated Acquisition Program, using an incremental development approach to reengineer business processes. This method allows for the continuous delivery of new functionalities while maintaining system integrity. Additionally, the program emphasizes agile procurement, production, modification, operation, and maintenance to ensure that the Navy's safety management needs are met effectively.
For sustainment, the RMI program supports ongoing maintenance and updates for interfaces deployed on enterprise Department of the Navy platforms. This includes helpdesk support and quality assurance testing to ensure that deployed capabilities remain effective. The program also plans for continuous module development and deployment through 2029, reflecting its commitment to evolving with technological advancements and operational requirements.
