## What project 677722 buys

This program creates new EW/Electromagnetic Spectrum Operations (EMSO) capabilities and conducts prototyping activities on emerging and enabling technologies to enable future EMSO app based reprogramming capabilities, waveform development, and EMSO assessments. Tactical Application Pipeline (TACAPP) Development/Deployment Strategy. TACAPP is a premier cloud-based application that will expedite the delivery of software solutions directly to the warfighter. To posture the Air Force for agile Cloud-based rapid reprogramming capability by creating the Production and Pre-Production release management lifecycles for applications/Mission Ware and supporting software-defined capability systems release for NIPR, SIPR, and SAP environments. Creating the infrastructure and technology to enable the Mission Ware and software capability within the 350SWW, and management processes to facilitate the rapid capability delivery mechanism necessary for agile EMBM planning and execution. Application and Mission Ware development, V&V, and delivery thru TACAPP are vital to the success of the 350 SWW mission to provide a rapid capability delivery and management to the warfighter. This capability will be critical to providing rapid reprogramming to F-35, F-22, C-12, EC-130H/EA-37B COMPASS CALL, RJ, E-3 as well as B-21, F-47, CCA, and other 5th/6th gen platforms. Open System Architecture (OSA) and Post-Flight Data Analysis (PFDA) driven waveform development against novel threats. In alignment with the 350 SWW mission directive, the program applies in-house expertise and the government-owned OSA frameworks (such as Big Iron Software Framework (BISF)) to address Intel and PFDA informed EMSO targets/threats. The core objective is to conduct adversary EW vulnerability analysis to develop, test, and validate organic, platform-agnostic waveforms. These solutions are engineered to fill critical mission needs for the warfighter, directly impacting LRKC effects. This effort is foundational to achieving operational integration with CCMD, Air Component, and MAJCOM plans and exercises, ensuring the developed capabilities are relevant and effective in contested environments. Funding is essential for the engineering, development, and technical support and infrastructure required to fulfill the 350 SWW's mandate.

**R-3 lines of work:** Product Development.
