**R-2A activity** of project 2272 — Intel Command and Control (C2) Sys  
**Program element:** 0206625M — USMC Intelligence/Electronics Warfare Sys  
**Component:** U.S. Navy · **Budget Activity:** 7  
**Vintage:** President's Budget PB2027

## Summary

This activity requests $13.2M in FY2027, 50% of project 2272, up 397% on FY2026. The R-2A exhibit describes it across FY2026–FY2027, including what the FY2027 money is planned to buy.

## What the FY2027 request buys

**FY2027 planned work.** - Initiate engineering, integration, and technical development required to develop a Ground based Optics capability (Terrestrial Collection Ground Sensors Increment 3). -Initiate engineering, integration, and technical development required to develop Over The Horizon Radar capabilities. - Continue testing of the long-dwell, small Unmanned Maritime Vessel, combining maritime radar with beyond line-of-sight comms. - Continue to integrate its current communications capabilities with Fires and to ensure Joint interoperability. - Integrate with the Minotaur Family of Systems to provide correlated track data to the Minotaur Common Tactical Picture (CTP) - Continue integration, and technical development required to develop an Unmanned Maritime Vessel and Sensor Payload (Maritime Sensors Increment 2).

**FY2026 to FY2027 change.** Increase from FY 2026 to FY 2027 reflects initiation of Ground Sensor (GS) Inc 3 and Over The Horizon Radar engineering, integration, and technical development required to develop Over The Horizon Radar capabilities along with development of the long-dwell, small Unmanned Maritime Vessel, combining maritime radar with beyond line-of-sight comms.

## Before the request year

**FY2026 plans — current year.** - Continued engineering, integration, and technical development required for Terrestrial Collection modernization including integration of ground based sensors with maritime sensors. - Continued engineering, integration, and technical development required to develop an Unmanned Maritime Vessel and Sensor Payload (maritime sensors Increment 2).

## Funding

| Fiscal Year | Estimate Type | Amount ($M) |

| FY2026 | Enacted | 2.7 |
| FY2027 | Request | 13.2 |

> Prior, current and budget year only — an R-2A activity carries no five-year plan. It sums exactly into its project in the request year and not necessarily in any other.
