What project 2268 buys
This is a Military Intelligence Program (MIP) Program Element. Distributed Common Ground System-Marine Corps Intelligence Enterprise Family of Systems (DCGS-MC IE FoS) is a critical Commandant of the Marine Corps Force Design program focused on Reconnaissance/Counter-Reconnaissance that senses and makes sense of the forward operating area, providing robust multi-intelligence processing, exploitation, and dissemination (PED) activities to include sensor fusion and correlation. As the forward sensing element of the maritime force, DCGS-MC provides the foundation for algorithmic warfare at the tactical edge pushing validated target quality information to enable global long range precision fires. DCGS-MC complies with the DCGS Enterprise interoperability and information sharing requirements necessary for PED capabilities via consolidated functional servers, workstations, cloud computing, and advanced technological processing capabilities from a contested, tactical environment to the integrated Marine Corps Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance Enterprise (MCISRE). DCGS-MC capabilities deliver tactically focused, operational, and strategic intelligence across all echelons of the Marine Corps at the tactical edge throughout all phases of operations to provide relevant, precise battlespace awareness, and threat characterization for the Joint Task Force, Naval Force, Marine Air-Ground Task Force, and subordinate Marine units in support of Expeditionary Advanced Base Operations and Distributed Maritime Operations. The DCGS-MC IE FoS will consolidate DCGS-MC GEOINT, DCGS-MC All Source and Technical Signals Intelligence (SIGINT) Control and Analysis Center (TSCAC) into one program. The DCGS-MC Next Gen FoS addresses intelligence tasking, collection, processing, analysis, exploitation, management, storage, and dissemination capabilities for the Marine Corps Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance Enterprise (MCISRE) in support of the FMF, Maritime Component, or Joint Task Force (JTF) across all warfighting domains and information environments.

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 2268
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.
