What project 2270 buys
The Secure Expeditionary Resilient Positioning, Navigation & Timing (SERPNT) funding line delivers the systems that increase the resiliency and assurance of Position Navigation & Timing (PNT) capabilities for user equipment, platforms, and systems in highly contested Navigation Warfare environments. Required by Federal mandates, SERPNT provides Alternate & Assured PNT to the Marine Air-Ground Task Force Commanders to know and trust PNT data and mitigate threats from peer and near peer adversaries to meet Force Design, Expeditionary Advanced Base Operations, and Joint All-Domain Command and Control missions. SERPNT enables operations in a contested environment by implementing the technologies managed under Military Global Positioning (GPS) User Equipment Increment 1 and 2, including Military-Code (M-Code), Anti-Jam/Anti-Spoof antennas, Alternative Navigation sources, and non-GPS capabilities (such as Inertial Measurement Units, barometers, wheel speed / velocity sensors, etc.). Marine Air-Ground Task Force (MAGTF) Command and Control Systems and Applications (MC2SA) - MC2SA Tactical Service Oriented Architecture (TSOA) is an ACAT IV(M) program of record (POR). TSOA was created to achieve agility and greater cost reduction across the USMC Command and Control (C2) Enterprise. This POR has been identified by the USMC Combat Development and Integration (CD&I) as the USMC's Service Oriented Infrastructure (SOI) designed to support the Objective Network as defined by the Headquarters Marine Corps, Deputy Commandant for Information Network Modernization Plan. The USMC seeks to rectify its current C2 architecture, which is composed of disparate and duplicative legacy systems through TSOA. TSOA will enable a collapse of this disparate C2 construct and create a Net-Centric environment where Marines employ user-centered applications that access required information across Authoritative Data Sources (ADS). This will be achieved through the CD&I directed TSOA compliance effort to reduce duplicative product development and enable a divestiture of legacy disparate systems. This requires additional effort to ensure other ADS's are compliant with the TSOA product line. TSOA's purpose is to ensure that Marines receive the right information from trusted and accurate sources, when and where it is needed.

The R-2A exhibit — the only level of the budget that describes work that has not happened yet. Activities carry the prior, current and budget year only, no five-year plan. 3 of them describe FY2027 work in enough detail to have their own page; the rest are shown here in full. Coverage is partial across the corpus, so count activities, never total them.

Named performers on project 2270
Performers named in the R-3 exhibit under this project. Share is of the project's whole FY2027 R-3 total — the same denominator the program-element split uses, so the two read on one scale and will not sum to 100% when unnamed or government work is in the mix. Budget-justification contract funding, not obligations.
