The Software Factory mainly focuses its software development on programs within Army’s six modernization priorities. Funding for this software factory is through the Software Factory Advanced Software Development activity within the Army Agile Innovation and Demonstration (PE 0603025A) program. The current budget does not list a figure for this activity, but in FY23 the figure was $4.72M.
In FY23, the Software Factory added two new focus areas for software development supporting Army Modernization that include Common Operating Environment, Command Post, Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA), Robotics and Autonomous Systems, Soldier Situational Awareness and Synthetic Training.
