DAMIR is a DoD initiative that provides enterprise visibility to Acquisition program information. The primary goal of DAMIR is to streamline acquisition management and oversight by leveraging the capabilities of a net-centric environment. DAMIR identifies various data sources that the Acquisition community uses to manage Major Defense Acquisition Programs (MDAP) and Major Automated Information Systems (MAIS) programs and provides a unified web-based interface through which to present that information. DAMIR enables the OSD, Military Services, Congress and other participating communities to access information relevant to their missions regardless of the agency or where the data resides. DAMIR components have replaced the need for the legacy Consolidated Acquisition Reporting System (CARS).

One component of DAMIR, Purview, is an executive information system that displays program information such as mission and description, cost, funding and schedule. It was developed under the DAMIR initiative to provide a comprehensive view of the current state of all MDAP and MAIS programs. It is OSD's solution for structured acquisition data presentation and uses web services to obtain and display Defense Acquisition Executive Summary (DAES) data directly from the Service acquisition databases. Within Purview users can also execute Ad-hoc reports. In addition, select DAMIR users can create, edit, or review the following: Selected Acquisition Reports (SARs), SAR Baselines, Acquisition Proposed Baselines (APBs), and Assessments.
