> **RESTART.** Funded in FY2025 ($2.7M), zeroed in FY2026, $10.1M requested again in FY2027.

## Summary

This activity requests $10.1M in FY2027, 38% of project 2274 — a restart, funded in FY2025 and zeroed in FY2026. The R-2A exhibit describes it across FY2027, including what the FY2027 money is planned to buy.

## What the FY2027 request buys

**FY2027 planned work.** - 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 Devices. - Initiate developmental systems engineering testing for Own Force Monitoring capability in order to achieve electromagnetic spectrum (EMS) dominance, a critical enabler for Force Design, EABO/MLR, and Joint All-Domain Operations. Funding will provide the Fleet Marine Force the capability to visualize the EMS, allowing commanders to see friendly and enemy signatures, disrupt enemy kill chains, and manage the force's own electronic footprint. - Initiate user evaluations and participate in exercises for Mounted Chassis Variant 1 - Initiate HERO/HERF/HERP testing of experimental Mounted Chassis Variant 1

**FY2026 to FY2027 change.** The increase from FY 2026 to FY 2027 reflects modernization of Electronic Warfare Counter-Unmanned Arial Systems (C-UAS) and Counter Radio Controlled IED (C-RCIED) capabilities commensurate with rapidly advancing threats. Additionally, increase will support development/testing of Own Force Sensing capabilities to enable radio frequency spectrum monitoring in support of force protection measures. Funding will also support rigorous testing of cybersecurity patches to protect these vital systems from enemy intrusion and validate the ability of next-generation mission loads to dynamically counter and exploit emerging adversary technologies thereby ensuring forces can maintain freedom of maneuver and a decisive tactical advantage in a contested electronic environment.
