## What project 67775A buys

The Rapid Analysis Processing Independent Deployable System (RAPIDS) is a critical F-35 initiative that accelerates the ingestion and analysis of flight data from months to minutes, enabling rapid software reprogramming and battlefield intelligence. Urgent modernization is required because the current equipment, originally designed for CONUS-based developmental and operational testing (DT/OT), is now at its end-of-life (EOL) and not configured for its current operational support mission, threatening F-35 mission effectiveness, and pilot safety. This investment enhances "edge-node computing," allowing analysts in forward-deployed environments to capture and transmit mission data to support the rapid reprogramming of aircraft mission data files (MDFs). It will also facilitate a COTS-based redesign to reduce the system's form factor for easier deployment to remote locations and address network ATO requirements to expand the list of available analysis tools. Ultimately, this strengthens the "Combat Cloud" concept by ensuring data collected by any aircraft can benefit the entire fleet. This program element may include necessary civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver weapon system capability. The use of such program funds would be in addition to the civilian pay expenses budgeted in program elements 0605827F, 0605828F, 0605829F, 0605831F, 0605832F, 0605833F, 0605898F, & 0606398F. In FY26 $0 M is forecasted for civilian pay expenses in this program element. This program is in Budget Activity 7, Operational System Development (OSD) because this budget activity includes development efforts to upgrade systems that have been fielded or have received approval for full rate production and anticipate production funding in the current or subsequent fiscal year.

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

### EWIR Analysis

Building on the successful prototyping and analysis from the previous year, the FY27 plan will transition the RAPIDS program to full-rate production. The primary objective is to field the modernized, smaller form-factor systems across the entire F-35 enterprise, replacing all legacy hardware. This phase will also execute the…
