Department of Defense Budget Level Analysis of Science and - PowerPoint PPT Presentation

Department of Defense Budget Level Analysis of Science and Technology (DoD BLAST) SYST/OR 699 Mas ter’s Project Purpose of Brief Sponsor Provide an overview of the Systems Planning and DoD BLAST team’s work on Analysis, Inc. (SPA) is a the Budget Exhibit Analysis professional services Tool (BEAT). The team will contractor located in cover where we started, Alexandria, VA. what we did, and recommendations for Project Team future work. This project is a continuation of a capstone Craig Jayson (SE) project selected last year Josh Singh (SE) that supported categorizing Phillip Sutton (OR) and analyzing past, present, and future budget submissions. 1

Supplemental Funding Figure: DoD Budget from 1950 – 2025 in FY16 dollar (future years estimated) In support of the National Military Strategy (NMS), the Department of Defense (DoD) budget places emphasis on a number of items to include the need to invest in future capabilities to ensure the U.S. remains a modernized, technologically superior gloabal force that is able to project power across the globe. This funding is found in RDT&E appropriation. 4

Problem Way Forward Scope Architecture Data/Visualization Definition Problem Statement There is no known method or available tool to digest and depict multiple budget cycles (POM) to facilitate the analysis and characterization of past, current, and future budget information. The Fall 2016 Capstone team was successful in aggregating budget data into a database and creating an Excel tool that performed such analysis at the PE level. • DoD Budget data is disbursed into many separate documents/locations • Manual formatting of data standard of practice • No efficient way exists to isolate and visualize data to meet user-specified criteria Understanding that there is important information available at the more granular project level, the BEAT has the capacity to provide further information and insights, but currently that capability has not been realized. 7

Figure: Stakeholders include publishers, resourcing, and recipients (source: gmuseorspa.wordpress.com) President/Congress: The DoD submits an annual budget request to the President for review. The President then submits a budget request to Congress. This request is reviewed and subjected to a process of revisions before it is returned to the President, at which point it is either signed into law or vetoed. 8

Problem Way Forward Scope Architecture Data/Visualization Definition Scope/Requirements The project team for Spring 2017 Capstone team will focus on taking the PEs and continuing to add to the database by including all project level data (excludes classified data). • Time Frame of Study (2011 – 2020) this covers FY’ 16 PB and POM. Highest Level Requirements MR1: The BEAT system shall be able to ingest project level information and data from DoD documents that summarize PEs. MR2: The BEAT system shall ingest project level description information for each project. MR3: The BEAT system shall ingest five future years of expected project level data. MR4: The BEAT system shall include accomplishment level data for specific projects. Link to Requirements Diagram MR5: The BEAT system shall visualize RDT&E , specifically project level data, over a pre-determined period. MR6: The BEAT system shall be able to display Program Budget (PB) new program/project/accomplishments have started anew or ended. 9

Problem Way Forward Scope Architecture Data/Visualization Definition BEAT Version 1.0 (Fall 2016 Capstone Project) R1 Data R1 Data: The R-1 document contains budget information for all RDT&E programs undertaken by the branches of the DoD. For each FY, the document lists the budget for the previous two FY, as well as the budget for the current FY. R2 Output R2 Data: The R-2 document is specific to each program, identified by a PE number in the R-1. The R-2 serves as the item justification for each program, as the proposed budget for the next four FYs. 12
