What project 2274 buys
This funding line includes the current operational solution, Multi-Function Electronic Warfare (MFEW) Family of Systems (FoS) which replaced the legacy Counter Radio Controlled Improvised Explosive Device (RCIED) Electronic Warfare (EW) or CREW, system in FY 2018. MFEW added significant additional force protection including Counter-Unmanned Aircraft System (CUAS) and rudimentary offensive EW capabilities that will support operations past FY 2030. The future operational solution will be fulfilled by a future system, a critical Force Design program that enables the Expeditionary Advanced Base Operations (EABO) construct by facilitating ground-based EW. A future system will be developed using the Command, Control, Computers, Communications, Cyber, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance(C5ISR)/EW Modular Open Suite of Standards (CMOSS) and Sensor Open Systems Architecture (SOSA) standards, in coordination with the Army, Navy, and Air Force. This will provide an open architecture of non-proprietary hardware and software platforms that will eliminate some proprietary equipment Marines currently carry, which will lower the weight and power requirements, reduce training burdens, lower procurement costs, and reduce sustainment costs. The future system will be employed throughout the Fleet Marine Force and provide coordinated EW in support of Fires and Maneuver, Force Protection, Spectrum Management, and Battlespace Awareness.

Project 2274 funding, FY2025–FY2031
Prior years are actuals, the budget year is the request, and the outyears are the FYDP plan. Estimate types are colored and never summed into one figure. Projects carry the full five-year plan; the activities inside them stop at the budget year.

|---|---|---|
| FY2025 | Actual | 18.4 |
| FY2026 | Enacted | 0.0 |
| FY2027 | Request | 26.9 |
| FY2028 | Outyear | 4.6 |
| FY2029 | Outyear | 3.6 |
| FY2030 | Outyear | 3.0 |

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. 1 of them describes FY2027 work in enough detail to have its own page; the rest are shown here in full. Coverage is partial across the corpus, so count activities, never total them.
- Initiate developmental systems engineering testing for electromagnetic warfare mission loads and software cyber security patches. - Initiate testing of new and developing mission load-sets ability to exploit or defeat advanced and emerging threat systems. - Initiate testing of C4ISR Modular Open Suites of Standards (CMOSS) Payload…
Read the FY2027 plan →FY2027 planned work - Initiate integration of Science and Technology (S&T) efforts into the future capability. - Initiate integration and development of common, open hardware backplane based off the C4ISR Modular Open Suites of Standards (CMOSS), and a Sensor Open Systems Architecture (SOSA). - Initiate feasibility analysis for integration of C4ISR Modular Open Suites of Standards (CMOSS) Payload Devices into future capability. - Initiate support of own force sensing capability, market research and testing of Commercial Off-The-Shelf Solutions (COTS) to verify satisfying user requirements.
FY2026 to FY2027 change Increase from FY 2026 to FY 2027 reflects the efforts required for the modernization of Electronic Warfare (EW) Counter Unmanned Aerial Systems (C-UAS) capabilities commensurate with rapidly advancing threats. Additionally, the increase will support development of Own Force Sensing capabilities to enable radio frequency spectrum monitoring in support of force protection measures. Development actions will include market research of emerging technology, feasibility analysis for future integration efforts, and in-stride capability upgrades to support Fleet Marine Force (FMF) requirements for emerging threats in the electromagnetic domain.
FY2027 planned work - Continue MFEW modernization system Engineering support to identify emerging technology to support mounted requirements, support integration, and analyze performance impacts resulting from compatibility, technology and software updates and environmental risks. - Initiate systems engineering support for the Multi-Function Electronic Warfare (MFEW) (mounted and dismounted) modernization efforts, countering advancing UAS and RCIED threats. - Initiate Mounted Chassis 1 development support, providing systems engineering support for mounted solutions and integration support of developed Science and Technology (S&T) efforts. - Initiate engineering support required for own force sensing capability…
FY2026 to FY2027 change The increase from FY 2026 to FY 2027 provides systems engineering support for the Mounted Family of Electronic Warfare (MFEW) systems, both for mounted and dismounted platforms. This ongoing effort is fundamental to countering the advancing threats posed by Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) and Radio-Controlled Improvised Explosive Devices (RCIEDs). Support will be directed toward identifying and integrating emerging technologies, analyzing the performance impacts of software and hardware updates, and mitigating risks to ensure electronic warfare systems remain effective and resilient.
Named performers on project 2274
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.
