## Summary

This activity requests $29.3M in FY2027, 25% of project 2270, up 433% 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 test and evaluation of Military Global Positioning System User Equipment Increment II technologies. -Initiate support in coordination with the Army in their engineering and developmental testing efforts for additional Dismounted Systems - Variant 1 capabilities. -Initiate test and evaluation of systems suitable to fulfill the requirements for Mounted Systems - Variant 2. -Initiate test and evaluation of Platform Integration Kits for Mounted Systems - Variant 2. -Initiate test and evaluation activities to the Army in their engineering and developmental testing efforts to augment and enhance Mounted Systems - Variant 1 capabilities. -Initiate test and evaluation activities for Mounted Systems - Variant 1 ancillary components to provide situational awareness / real-time status of the PNT operational picture. -Initiate test and evaluation of the changes necessary to client/consumer systems to be interoperable with the Dismounted Systems Variant 1. -Initiate test and evaluation of material solutions to modernize the fielded DAGR Remote Antenna to an anti-jam anti-spoof capability to assist in addressing current threats. -Initiate test and evaluation of physical interfaces and ancillary components with host/platform for Dismounted Systems Variant 1 to allow consumer systems to increase modularity based on mission requirements. -Initiate support in coordination with the Army in their engineering and developmental testing efforts for additional Dismounted Variant I capabilities. -Initiate test and evaluation of capabilities to forge a dynamic Modeling and Simulation environment that functions as a digital twin of battlespace, enabling the rapid, data-driven analysis of PNT system performance across a spectrum of contested scenarios, empowering leadership to make informed capability trade-offs that optimize for both tactical agility and operational resilience. -Initiate test and evaluation 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, anti-jam antennas) without requiring complete system redesign. -Initiate test and evaluation of the systems/software 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 test and evaluation of the hardware and software (antenna simulator evaluation hardware, and models) required to execute modeling and simulation of PNT technologies. -Initiate test and evaluation activities to verify and quantify the degradation characteristics of each Inertial Navigation System over time and across a wide spectrum of operational conditions and to validate the integration and compatibility of these systems with existing client systems. -Continue test and evaluation of enhanced PNT capabilities including Anti-Jam/Anti-Spoof antennas, Alternative Navigation sources, and non-GPS capabilities to support assured PNT in contested environments. -Continue evaluation of additional Mounted and Handheld capabilities, and exploration of additional capabilities including Anti-Jam/Anti-Spoof antennas, Alternative Navigation sources, and non-GPS capabilities. -Continue support to the Army in their engineering and developmental testing efforts for additional Mounted Increment I capabilities.

**FY2026 to FY2027 change.** The increase from FY 2026 to FY 2027 modernizes test capabilities by investing in a high-fidelity modeling and simulation environment and supports the test and evaluation of critical anti-jam/anti-spoof GPS upgrades for both the DAGR antenna and Military Global Positioning System User Equipment Increment 2 technologies.

## Before the request year

**FY2026 plans — current year.** -Continue to support the Army in their engineering and developmental testing efforts for additional Mounted Increment I capabilities. -Continue laboratory integration, analysis, and simulations, in support of the Mounted Variant I (MAPS GEN II) integration effort on 7 priority platforms and 47 client systems. -Initiate evaluation of additional Mounted and Handheld capabilities, and exploration of additional capabilities including Anti-Jam/Anti-Spoof antennas, Alternative Navigation sources, and non-GPS capabilities.
