## Summary

Project 675380 — Mission Planning Systems (MPS) Modernization requests $121.3M in FY2027, 99% of the $122.2M requested for program element 0208006F, up 0.3% on FY2026. 2 R-2A activities decompose the request. Leidos is the largest named R-3 performer at $21.8M, 18% of the project's FY2027 R-3 total.

## What project 675380 buys

A. Mission Description and Budget Item Justification. The Mission Planning System (MPS) Modernization program develops software for aircraft mission planning and integrates the latest intelligence, weather, aircraft performance, and threat data into flight management systems enabling flight operations for Combat Air Forces (CAF), Mobility Air Forces (MAF), Special Missions Air Combat Command (SMACC) aircraft, Collaborative Combat Aircraft (CCA), and training aircraft. The MPS and the Mission Planning Process is the only way aircrews can configure the holistic platform System of Systems for any fixed or rotary wing aircraft sortie, merging weapons, crypto, sensors, communications systems and avionics. The warfighter must be able to: 1) leverage mission data feedback to formulate plans with current data; 2) optimize and de-conflict flight routes with other aircraft; 3) review, print, and brief the plan; 4) download flight information to onboard aircraft avionics; 5) conduct dynamic/in-flight replanning, including collaboration and data sharing with mission partners and the Command and Control (C2) chain; and 6) quickly and seamlessly share post-mission data to inform planning for subsequent missions. Main efforts include JMPS Open Mission System (JOMS), and Joint Mission Planning System (JMPS). Theater Air Planning System of Systems (TAP-SoS) . Mission Planning Modernization is a Software Acquisition Pathway (SWP) program with a focus on collaborative cloud development for rapid fielding and real-time software updates ensuring the warfighter retains the ability to execute the operational mission in the event they are disconnected from cloud resources, for all phases of mission planning (pre-mission, in-flight, and post-mission planning). Software development is essential for real-time mission data Command, Control, Computers, Communications, Cyber, Intelligence, Surveillance, Reconnaissance, Position, Navigation, and Timing (C5ISRC-PNT) updates and collaboration with mission partners as well as dynamic mission replanning for evolving conditions and sharing post-mission data to inform follow on operations. Tools include Weapons Planning Software, Electronic Warfare (EW), Global Positioning System (GPS), crypto including GPS M-Code and weather.

**R-3 lines of work:** Product Development; Support; Test and Evaluation; Management Services.

### Mission Planning (MP) Modernization

CAF modernization: - Continue the development of F-15 JOMS capabilities to deliver a modernized mission planning system. This includes the maturation of the Coordination Card, SPINS Card, Attack Card, CID, Form 70, and Target Imagery capabilities to improve lethality and survivability in highly contested environments. - Continue the…
