## Summary

U.S. Army funding ramps 34% to a $11.3M request in FY2027. In the FY2027 defense authorization, the House funded it in full; the Senate funded it in full; House appropriators funded it in full. Testing leads the industry work, though an unusually large share flows to government labs and warfare centers.

### Project EF7 — Precision Fires Warrior Dismounted & Mounted

This funding enables the Army's Next Generation Command and Control (NGC2) initiative to modernize Command and Control (C2) systems. PF-D/M is a software only program that is using a Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) approach to software development and capability deployment. This includes utilizing modern software development methodologies, tools/techniques (e.g., DEVSECOPS) and human-centered design processes (e.g., User Engagements) to iteratively develop and deliver software to meet Warfighter priority needs. The CI/CD approach will feature continuous development and integration with testing and user engagements as integral parts of the process to ensure delivered capability satisfies requirements and adds value for the Warfighter. PF-D/M is a software application that provides the dismounted and mounted Forward Observer (FO) and Fire Support Teams (FISTs) the ability to execute fire missions. Operating on the Nett Warrior End User Device (EUD), PF-D provides the dismounted FO and FISTs the ability and functionality to locate ground targets accurately and rapidly process a Call for Fires, which is the act of requesting a fire mission against the identified ground target. PF-D answers the Mobile/Handheld Computing Environment requirement that all handheld applications reside on the Nett Warrior EUD. PF-M replaces the Lightweight Forward Entry Device's (LFED) Forward Observer Software (FOS) at the maneuver company FIST, allowing them to identify ground targets and request fire missions. PF-M answers the Mounted Computing Environment (MCE) requirement to reside on the Mounted Family of Computing Systems (MFOCS). FY 2027 funding of $11.255 million will be utilized for continued development of capabilities into the targeted computing environments. Funding also supports alignment with Nett Warrior architecture changes for Precision Fires software to integrate within the MCE on fire support vehicles to include vehicle integration of BFIST and Stryker. In alignment with the Army's adoption of Next Generation Command and Control (NGC2), the program will further pursue the development of software-only solutions, while a hardware transition takes place.

**Named R-3 performers** (share of this project's FY2027 R-3 total, so they need not reach 100%)**:** Testing (0.6, 5.8%), DISA/DITCO (0.3, 2.7%).

| Activity (R-2A) | FY2025 | FY2026 | FY2027 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Program Management Support Costs for PF-D/M | — | 0.5 | 0.8 |
| PF-D/M Software Development | 7.0 | 7.6 | 9.9 |
| Testing for PF-D/M | 0.0 | 0.4 | 0.6 |

> R-2A activities carry the prior, current and budget year only — no five-year plan. Coverage is partial, so count them, never total them.

## Where the FY2027 request goes

| Category | Share | $M |
|---|---|---|
| Industry primes | 8.5% | 1.0 |
| Government labs & warfare centers | 88% | 9.9 |
| Other / unspecified | 4.0% | 0.5 |

**Top named industry performers:** Testing ($0.6M, 5.8%), DISA/DITCO ($0.3M, 2.7%).

## Mission & acquisition strategy

Fire support is the effect of lethal and non-lethal weapons (fires) that directly support land, maritime, amphibious and special operations who engage enemy forces, combat formations and facilities in pursuit of tactical and operational objectives. Fire Support Command and Control (FSC2) systems automate the planning and execution of fire support operations, so appropriate munitions are paired with suitable weapons or group of weapons to adequately cover targets.

Precision Fires-Dismounted/Mounted (PF-D/M) is an Acquisition Category III program established to satisfy requirements captured in the Pocket-sized Forward Entry Device (PFED) Inc 2 Capability Production Document (CPD), which was approved as an IT Box requirement in 2016. Future requirements that fall within the CPD's scope and will be approved by the Fires Support Command and Control (FSC2) Tactical Software Requirements Governance Board and be documented in Fire Support Change Requests (FSCRs), formerly referred to as Tactical Software Change Requests (TSCRs).
