The Army Data and Analytics Platforms (ARDAP) program manages a portfolio of systems that enable the Warfighter through data and analytics. ARDAP modernizes aging, disjointed, and legacy systems through enterprise-scale digital transformation efforts. The Army Data Platform (ADP) product office within PM ARDAP is an emerging initiative that provides unified data analytics capabilities that support federated communities while operating as part of a broader coalition of tools that enable Army enterprise analytics.
