## Summary

This activity requests $11.0M in FY2027, 23% of project 3093, down 71% 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.** Funds are allocated to the ALLAI program to continue the integration and developmental testing of Live, Virtual, and Constructive (LVC) software capabilities on the F/A-18, including updated Next Generation Threat System (NGTS) simulations and waveform optimization. Resources will support required Cross Domain Solution (CDS) design updates and validation for these new capabilities. Funding will also support the integration of platforms into the Naval Continuous Training Environment (NCTE) and continue the development of Tactical Combat Training System (TCTS) information management (IM) capabilities and System of Systems (SoS) integration for identified platforms. These efforts include the continued LVC integration with both the F/A-18 and E-2D platforms to ensure advanced training interoperability.

**FY2026 to FY2027 change.** Decrease of $27.428M from FY 2026 to FY 2027 in accordance with the reduction in control as well as the realignment of funding to E-2D Internal Mount and F-35 LITL.

## Before the request year

**FY2026 plans — current year.** ALLAI will continue integration and continue DT of LVC software capabilities (Synthetic Inject to Live) on the F/A-18, to include updated NGTS simulation capabilities and waveform optimization. Continue CDS design updates and validation for the additional NGTS simulation capabilities. ALLAI will integrate platforms into NCTE. Continue development of the TCTS IM capabilities and SoS Platform/Simulator Integration for identified platforms. Continue LVC integration with F-18 and E-2D.
