design, development, testing, evaluation, acqui-
sition, 
management, 
operations, 
and 
sustainment of systems. 
(B) The capability will provide for the de-
velopment, use, curation, and maintenance of 
authoritative and technically accurate digital 
systems— 
(i) to reduce the burden of reporting 
by officials responsible for executing pro-
grams; 
(ii) to ensure shared access to data 
within the Department;
122 
(iii) to supply data to digital engineer-
ing models for use in the defense acquisi-
tion process; 
(iv) to supply data to testing infra-
structure and software to support auto-
mated approaches for testing, evaluation, 
and deployment throughout the defense ac-
quisition process; and 
(v) to provide timely analyses to De-
partment leadership. 
(C) The capability will be designed— 
(i) to improve data management proc-
esses in the research, development, acquisi-
tion, and sustainment activities of the De-
partment; 
(ii) to provide decision makers in the 
Department 
with 
timely, 
high-quality, 
transparent, and actionable analyses for 
optimal 
development, 
acquisition, 
and 
sustainment decision making and execu-
tion; 
(iii) to facilitate productivity, dis-
covery, access, knowledge sharing, and 
analysis of acquisition-related data across 
organizational boundaries at all levels of
123 
the Department, including through the de-
velopment of acquisition documentation; 
and 
(iv) to build and improve analytical 
models and simulations to enhance the de-
velopment, test, and use of weapon sys-
tems. 
(3) SOFTWARE REQUIREMENT.— 
(A) IN
GENERAL.—The capability devel-
oped under paragraph (1) shall include software 
to collect, organize, manage, make available, 
and analyze relevant data throughout the life 
cycle of defense acquisition programs, including 
any data needed to satisfy milestone require-
ments and reviews. 
(B) 
PROCUREMENT
AUTHORITY.—The 
software described in subparagraph (A) may be 
developed or procured using the authorities pro-
vided under section 800 of the National De-
fense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2020 
(Public Law 116–92; 133 Stat. 1478). 
(4) REVIEW.—In developing the capability re-
quired under paragraph (1) the Secretary of Defense 
shall—
124 
(A) review data content and requirements 
to support planning and reporting of functions 
and remove redundant data requests across 
functions; and 
(B) based on such review, develop rec-
ommended approaches for— 
(i) moving supporting processes from 
analog to digital format, including plan-
ning and reporting processes; 
(ii) making new data active through 
digitalization; 
(iii) making legacy data, including 
data currently residing in program docu-
mentation, active through digitalization; 
and 
(iv) modernizing the storage, retrieval, 
and reporting capabilities for stakeholders 
within the Department, including research 
entities, Program Management Offices, 
analytic organizations, enterprise oversight, 
and decision makers. 
(b) DEMONSTRATION ACTIVITIES.— 
(1) IN
GENERAL.—The Secretary of Defense 
shall carry out demonstration activities to test var-

fewer than two and not more than five programs of 
the Department of Defense to participate in the 
demonstration activities under paragraph (1), in-
cluding— 
(A) one or more acquisition data manage-
ment test cases; and 
(B) one or more development and test 
modeling and simulation test cases to dem-
onstrate the ability to collect data from tests 
and operations in the field, and feed the data 
back into models and simulations for better 
software development and testing. 
(3) ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS.—As part of 
the demonstration activities under paragraph (1), 
the Secretary shall—
