## Summary

This activity requests $12.3M in FY2027, 31% of project 1427, down 75% on FY2026. The R-2A exhibit describes it across FY2026–FY2027, including what the FY2027 money is planned to buy.

## What the FY2027 request buys

**FY2027 planned work.** Continue development of updates to integrated combat system data collection and After-Action review/Debrief also known as Data Collection and Debrief (DCD) products also known as Data Collection and Debrief (DCD) for Aegis Baseline 9 and follow that are aligned to tactical improvements that will provide an effective means for instructors to assess crew performance during LVC events. Continue SSDS DCD Engineering at a reduced rate from previous year. Continue development of common ship/shore virtualized computing, networking and display infrastructure to allow shore operator training systems to be updated at the same time new combat system baselines are delivered. Continue updates to Cooperative Engagement Capability (CEC) Training capability updates to align with CEC Block II redesign. Continue combat systems classroom architecture changes to enable combat system and integrated simulator software delivery. Continue development of a two-way data exchange training capability between surface ships and supporting aircraft. Continue development of integrated training for LCS Independence class legacy combat systems and the LCS lethality and survivability (L&S) upgrade. Continue development of Zumwalt Enterprise Upgrade Solution (ZEUS) (formerly DDG 1000 Zumwalt Onboard Trainer (ZOBT) Phase II At-Sea Training).

**FY2026 to FY2027 change.** The decrease of $36.182M from FY26 to FY27 is due to the deceleration of the initial development and integration of ATD on Littoral Combat System (LCS). Additionally, the deceleration of the SCSTE development of distributed training, geo-dispersed training and test use cases and completion and ceasing of activity for development of the Naval Strike Missile (NSM) Training Capability for FFG 62. Finally, budget dictates deceleration and delay of SSDS DCD and ECS, EW Training, and DDG 1000 development.

## Before the request year

**FY2026 plans — current year.** Continue development of updates to integrated combat system data collection and After-Action review/Debrief also known as Data Collection and Debrief (DCD) products also known as Data Collection and Debrief (DCD) for Aegis Baseline 9 and follow that are aligned to tactical improvements that will provide an effective means for instructors to assess crew performance during LVC events. Begin SSDS DCD Engineering. Continue development of common ship/shore virtualized computing, networking and display infrastructure to allow shore operator training systems to be updated at the same time new combat system baselines are delivered. Continue updates to Cooperative Engagement Capability (CEC) Training capability updates to align with CEC Block II redesign.
