> **NEW START.** $43.1M requested in FY2027 with no prior-year and no current-year funding.

## Summary

This activity requests $43.1M in FY2027, 38% of project 2268 — a new start with no prior-year and no current-year money. 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.** - Continue integration of All Domain Integration and Visualization utilizing MINOTAUR Family of Systems (MFOS). - Continue integration of a Collection Requirements Management and Collections Operations Suite. - Continue MTC-X efforts - Details are held at a higher classification. - Continue the integration of USMC communications pathways and architecture. - Continue planning and development for a hybrid cloud architecture that supports units at the Battalion level and below - Continue the research of Artificial Intelligence applications in the development of patterns of life analysis to support advanced indications and warnings. - Continue integration of computer-aided vision full motion video. - Continue research and development of Cross Domain Solution for FITE capability requirements. - Continue iterative development of MTC-X mobile variant prototypes. Details are held at a higher classification. - Continue sensor integration for Composite Tracking Number (CTN) and Ground/Air Task Oriented Radar (G/ATOR) platforms. - Complete the integration of USMC organic group 1-3 UAS. - Complete the development of a software container development, management, and patching environment - Complete the research and development of MTC-Mobile variant. Details are held at a higher classification. - Complete sensor integration for Marine Air Ground Task Force (MAGTF) Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) Expeditionary (MUX) Aircraft Medium Altitude Long Endurance (MALE), and reconnaissance pods. - Complete development of Maritime Tactical Edge Node-Expeditionary (TEN-X) for integration into tactical vehicles via Platform Integration Kit (PIK). - Complete integration of full motion video into the MTC-X Family of Systems (FoS). Details are held at a higher classification. - Complete initial design of Maritime Targeting Node-Vehicle Kit for integration onto Ultra-Light Tactical Vehicle (ULTV) via Platform Integration Kit (PIK) (formerly known as the Tactical Edge Node-Expeditionary aka TEN-X). - Complete initial design of MTC-X Mobtile variant prototypes. Details are held at a higher classification.

**FY2026 to FY2027 change.** Project 2268 transitioned from LI/PE 0305208M to 0206625M. $19.990M transferred over from PE 0305208M. The increase from FY2026 to FY2027 reflects the continued development of capabilities for MTC-X, MTN-VK (formerly TEN-X), and expanded integration in Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning (AI/ML) tools.

## Funding
