Integrated Personnel and Pay System-Army (IPPS-A)

The Integrated Personnel and Pay System-Army Increment II (IPPS-A Inc II) aims to provide an integrated, multi-Component, personnel and pay system that streamlines existing Human Resources (HR) systems and processes by enhancing efficiency and accuracy of personnel and pay procedures in support of 1.1 million Soldiers. This program is a crucial building block to reform the Department of the Army towards achieving greater performance and affordability in support of the National Defense Strategy and the Congressional audit mandate. The IPPS-A program has deployed two major software releases, with plans for future capabilities including Military Payroll and software enhancements for Human Resource capabilities. The FY 2024 RDT&E budget supports continued technical analysis for the Military Payroll solution, competitive contract award for iterative design and build for future capabilities, and software enhancements for Human Resource capabilities.

The program's specific objectives include transitioning from a waterfall development approach to an agile development approach for future delivery of capabilities, achieving greater performance and affordability in support of the National Defense Strategy, and providing an integrated, multi-Component personnel and pay system to streamline existing HR systems. The IPPS-A Inc II also aims to complete a phased deployment of Military Human Resource and talent management capabilities across all Army components (Active, Guard, and Reserve), fully subsuming legacy systems into a single authoritative system. Additionally, the program seeks to support technical analysis studies in support of Military Payroll and the transformation to an agile software development approach. These objectives align with the program's mission to enhance efficiency and accuracy of personnel and pay procedures in support of 1.1 million Soldiers while meeting the Congressional audit mandate.
