## Summary

This activity requests $44.0M in FY2027, 38% of project 2270, up 2128% 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.** -Initiate development & research activities for a capability solution to fulfill Mounted Systems - Variant 2. -Initiate development of Platform Integration Kits for Mounted Systems - Variant 2. -Initiate development and research activities for a Military Global Positioning System User Equipment Increment 2 Handheld System. -Initiate development activities in coordination with the Army in their engineering and developmental testing efforts for additional Dismounted Systems - Variant 1 capabilities. -Initiate development activities in coordination with the Army including engineering and developmental testing efforts to augment and enhance Mounted Systems - Variant 1 capabilities. -Initiate development activities for Mounted Systems - Variant 1 ancillary components to provide situational awareness / real-time status of the PNT operational picture. -Initiate the development of test capabilities to forge a dynamic Modeling and Simulation environment that functions as a digital twin of the battlespace, enabling the rapid, data-driven analysis of PNT system performance across a spectrum of contested scenarios. -Initiate the development of the formalized reference architecture to establish a standardized, resilient, and adaptable framework for all current and future PNT systems. -Initiate the development of a comprehensive PNT Solutions Architecture to transition from high-level strategic reference architecture to a practical, implementation-focused blueprint for modernizing our PNT capabilities. -Initiate development activities for PNT hardware and software components that implement Modular Open System Design approaches to empower the rapid, cost-effective replacement and upgrade of individual components (such as GPS receivers, inertial measurement units, or anti-jam antennas) without requiring a complete system redesign. -Initiate development of the systems required to migrate to a Model Based System Engineering approach to enable data-driven, and agile approaches for design, development, and sustainment of PNT systems. -Initiate development of the hardware and software (antenna simulator evaluation hardware, and models) required to execute modeling and simulation of PNT technologies. -Initiate a comprehensive, service-wide effort to characterize all USMC Inertial Navigation Systems to assess the ability to provide accurate position and velocity data, model the performance, and characterize interoperability with legacy clients/consumers and systems. -Continue the development and validation of a diverse portfolio of alternative navigation solutions to architect a multi-layered Primary Alternate Contingent & Emergency plan, enabling uninterrupted even when GPS is unavailable or untrustworthy. -Continue development of enhanced PNT capabilities including Anti-Jam/Anti-Spoof antennas, Alternative Navigation sources, and non-GPS capabilities to support assured PNT in contested environments. -Complete activities supporting the Army including product development of Mounted Variant 1 Capability (MAPS GEN II) to ensure EMI compliance. -Complete development of a transcoder to enable MAPS GEN II integration and M-Code interoperability with legacy client systems.

**FY2026 to FY2027 change.** The increase from FY 2026 to FY 2027 supports upgrading resource intensive evaluation methods to a modeling & simulation environment that adequately replicate the complex, multi-domain threats posed by near-peer adversaries. This funding establishes a "digital twin" of the battlespace, allowing for rapid, data-driven analysis of PNT system performance in scenarios that are too costly or dangerous to test live. This directly supports the DoW's directive to accelerate innovation. This funding also supports product development of material solutions to modernize the fielded DAGR Remote Antenna to an anti-jam anti-spoof capability as well as the changes necessary to install on client/consumer systems. The legacy DAGR antenna is ineffective and an anti-jam/anti-spoof antenna solution is needed to provide a critical, near-term capability enhancement to fielded systems. Additionally the increase reflects the evaluation of Military Global Positioning System User Equipment Increment 2 technologies.

## Before the request year

**FY2026 plans — current year.** -Initiated development of enhanced PNT capabilities including Anti-Jam/Anti-Spoof antennas, Alternative Navigation sources, and non-GPS capabilities to support assured PNT in contested environments. -Continued activities supporting the Army in their product development of Mounted Variant 1 Capability (MAPS GEN II) to ensure EMI compliance. -Continued development in a transcoder to enable MAPS GEN II integration and M-Code interoperability with legacy client systems.

## Funding

| Fiscal Year | Estimate Type | Amount ($M) |
|---|---|---|
| FY2025 | Actual | 4.8 |
| FY2026 | Enacted | 2.0 |
| FY2027 | Request | 44.0 |

> Prior, current and budget year only — an R-2A activity carries no five-year plan. It sums exactly into its project in the request year and not necessarily in any other.
