What project 2275 buys
Tactical Communications Modernization (TCM): TCM contains multiple CMC Force Design programs. TCM supports the research, testing, and evaluation of non-developmental tactical voice and data radio systems for mounted and dismounted operations within all echelons of the Marine Air-Ground Task Force. The testing will ensure the communication systems are joint networking capable and support National Security Agency (NSA) Communications Security (COMSEC) Modernization requirements. The funding provides contracted engineering support, facility test support, and test reporting for multiple systems. These include the Multi-Band Radio's (MBR II), Mobile User Objective System (MUOS), High Frequency Radio II (HFR II), Multi-Channel Radio Family of System (MCR FoS) [Multi-Channel Man Pack (MCMP) and Multi-Channel Handheld (MCHH)] radios, Ground Link-16, antennas, current systems requiring updates or obsolescence issues, and Joint Enterprise Network Manager (JENM). Networking On-the-Move (NOTM) - NOTM is a critical CMC Force Design program, essential to achieving Force Design full operational capability (FOC) by 2030. NOTM is a critical enabler for "Command and Control (C2) in a Degraded Environment," a Force Design Line of Effort. NOTM enables persistence inside contested environments, and the conduct of sea denial operations as part of the Naval Expeditionary Force. NOTM achieves this by providing a state-of-the-art turn-key open architecture solution that enables forces to exercise C2 across operational domains - land, sea, air, and while transitioning between domains, by providing terrestrial line of sight and beyond line-of-sight satellite communication gateway services, and access to services and applications that enable forces to exercise C2 while transitioning between static and mobile positions. NOTM provides critical radio, voice, and C2 datalinks to key leaders in dynamic environments across multiple domains. The USMC has two NOTM programs, the NOTM Ground Combat Vehicle (NOTM-GCV), and the NOTM Airborne (NOTM-A) with requirements to field kits for the following platforms: NOTM-GCV variants include High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle (HMMWV), Joint Light Tactical Vehicle (JLTV), Amphibious Combat Vehicle - Command variant (ACV-C), and Ultra-Light Tactical Vehicle (ULTV).

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. 2 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 2275
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.
