### Project 675218 — Applications Development

This budget line funds joint partner requirements of the Air Operations Center (AOC) Weapon System Modification effort. Applications Development efforts deliver capabilities identified in the 2013 Joint Command and Control Capability Development Document (CDD) and are executed as a Software Acquisition Pathway program. Applications Development provides worldwide operational capabilities for Air Force Command and Control (C2) in support of DoW, Coalition Partners, and other government agencies. These efforts focus on support to the Joint Forces Air Component Commander (JFACC), who provides air, space and cyber support to other Air Force and Joint Services C2 systems. This program is dependent on the All Domain Common Platform (ADCP), which provides an extensible cloud-based infrastructure and platform as a service (IaaS/PaaS) hosting platform built to deliver highly resilient mission applications and data to Airmen deployed around the world. In FY 2027, Applications Development will focus on providing necessary software capabilities to build, disseminate, and execute the Master Air Attack Plan (MAAP). Applications Development also provides an Airspace Management tool used for building airspaces, evaluating requests, and instantaneously generating the Airspace Control Order (ACO). These efforts deliver modern software for inclusion to the AOC Weapon System modifications program to replace the Master Air Attack Plan-Toolkit (MAAPTK) and components of Theater Battle Management Core System - Force Level (TBMCS FL). Efforts within this program align with and depend upon USAF investment in Mission Planning Systems (PE 0208006F), Air Operations Center (PE 0207410F), All Domain Common Platform (0303248F), Command and Control Incident Management Emergency Response Application (C2IMERA) (0305836F). Advanced Battle Management System (ABMS) (0604003F) and Flight Ops (PE 0207461F) to deliver the Theater Air Planning System of Systems (TAP-SoS) architecture for the DAF BATTLE NETWORK. This program's efforts directly provide the development, infrastructure, and support necessary for each of these programs and TAP-SoS interdependencies, which provides the capabilities necessary for deliberate planning, dynamic mission replanning, friendly order of battle management, and mission tasking and execution.

**Named R-3 performers** (share of this project's FY2027 R-3 total, so they need not reach 100%)**:** AFLCMC (0.5, 7.4%).

| Activity (R-2A) | FY2025 | FY2026 | FY2027 |
|---|---|---|---|
| C2 Applications Development | 4.2 | 6.7 | 7.0 |

> R-2A activities carry the prior, current and budget year only — no five-year plan. Coverage is partial, so count them, never total them.

## Where the FY2027 request goes

| Category | Share | $M |
|---|---|---|
| Industry primes | 7.4% | 0.5 |
| Other / unspecified | 93% | 6.5 |

**Top named industry performers:** AFLCMC ($0.5M, 7.4%).

## Mission & acquisition strategy

This budget line funds joint partner requirements of the Air Operations Center (AOC) Weapon System Modification effort. Applications Development efforts deliver capabilities identified in the 2013 Joint Command and Control Capability Development Document (CDD) and are executed as a Software Acquisition Pathway program. Applications Development provides worldwide operational capabilities for Air Force Command and Control (C2) in support of DoW, Coalition Partners, and other government agencies. These efforts focus on support to the Joint Forces Air Component Commander (JFACC), who provides air, space and cyber support to other Air Force and Joint Services C2 systems.

The acquisition strategy builds on agile development and modification of existing capabilities using evolutionary acquisition to standardize and modernize Command and Control (C2) Applications Development. C2 Applications Development will operate as a Software Acquisition Pathway program. Program management for the C2 Applications Development is under direction of Program Executive Office (PEO) Digital, located at Hanscom AFB, MA. The Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC) located at Hanscom AFB, MA is the contracting authority for C2 Applications Development. AFLCMC provides contracting, legal, comptroller, programmatic, engineering, test, and logistics support.
