What the FY2027 request buys
Verbatim from the R-2A exhibit for project 675380 of PE 0208006F. This is the budget justification's own description of work that has not happened yet — the one thing no other level of the budget carries.
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 development of B-1 JOMS capabilities to deliver a modernized mission planning system. This includes maturing key features such as Bullseyes, Killboxes, Airspaces, Weapons Release Sequencing, the Aircraft Configuration Stores Loader, the B-1 Weapons Plan, B-1 Constraints Checks, B-1 Forms, BMOS Integration, and ACAL. - Continue planning development of software for new CAF platforms including but not limited to B-52, F-22, and B-2 GM-SM Modernization: - Continue supporting fielded JOMS ProPlanner for RC-135 and continue to build capabilities for enhanced mission planning - Continuing to e plan development of software for new platforms including but not limited to KC-135, HH-60W and C-17 - Complete evaluation of potential platforms to be implemented on disconnected JOMS ProPlanner and present platforms for approval to begin planning efforts - Continue enhancing the Disconnected JOMS ProPlanner architecture for improved scalability and multi-platform support. MPS Modernization: - Deploy first increment of JOMS to connected (cloud) operational environment with continued development of microservices - Conduct efforts for the delivery of quality code to meet the authorization to operate (ATO) process allowing for limited semi-operational use - Deploy first increment of IL6 Cloud Development environment with continued development of microservices for testing and integration - Configure software deployment baselines for a disconnected environment - Complete testing to identify areas for improved data resources usage" Theater Air Planning System of Systems (TAP-SoS): - Continue design and prototype dynamic mission replanning software for operational C2 beyond a minimum viable product, to optimize decision making and battlespace awareness by integrating MPS, ABMS, Air Operations Centers, and MAFC2 across the DAF BATTLE NETWORK (DBN) - Enhance data transmission capability between the Unified Data Library (UDL) and aircraft enabling near to real-time updates integrating with the DBN
Minor increase due to inflation.
FY2026: the year under way
Prior-year accomplishments and current-year plans from the same exhibit. Context for the FY2027 plan, not a series — an activity partitions its project exactly in the request year, but can under-cover it in earlier years.
FY 2026 Plans: F-15 Modernization: - Continue software release transitioning the JMPS MPE/Unique Planning Component (UPC) to JOMS upon completion of the JMPS software re-architecture to microservices - Define and deliver F-15 JOMS MPE+Dynamic Mission Planning (DMP) Minimum Viable Product (MVP) and prep for MVCR B-1 Modernization: - Develop and field JMPS MPE improvements that increase B-1 lethality, survivability, and readiness in a contested environment, such as, but not limited to crypto key enhancements and weapons integration. , and hypersonics). - Define and deliver B-1 JOMS MPE+DMP MVP and prep for MVCR Global Mobility Modernization: - Develop and field MPE releases to further improve Agile Global Mobility (AGM) products, based on AMC priorities - Develop modernized air refueling mission planning capabilities for KC-46 - Deliver dynamic/in-flight replanning capabilities to support AMC initiatives Special Mission Modernization: - Deliver first operational JOMS capability: RC-135 MVCR - Continue refinement of C-130J Blk 8.1 mission planning capability to support ACC modernization of the HC-130J fleet - Continue refinement of HH-60W planning capabilities based on the FY2026 sunsetting of the HH-60G MPS Core Mission Planning (CMP): - Extend JOMS to develop and deliver additional core mission planning capabilities required for additional SMACC aircraft, such as, but not limited to EA-37B, and E-7, including deployments to connected and disconnected operations Theater Air Planning System of Systems (TAP-SoS): - Design and prototype dynamic mission replanning software for operational C2 to optimize decision making and battlespace awareness by integrating MPS, ABMS, Air Operations Centers, and MAFC2 across the DAF BATTLE NETWORK (DBN) - Enhance data transmission capability between the Unified Data Library (UDL) and aircraft enabling near to real-time updates integrating with the DBN
Three years, and no five-year plan
An R-2A activity publishes the prior year, the current year and the budget year. The FYDP outyears exist at project and program-element level and are deliberately absent here rather than inferred. Estimate types are colored and never summed into one figure.
| Fiscal Year | Estimate Type | Amount ($M) |
|---|---|---|
| FY2025 | Actual | 74.6 |
| FY2026 | Enacted | 118.1 |
| FY2027 | Request | 118.8 |
This activity is 98% of project 675380's FY2027 request and 97% of PE 0208006F's. In the request year the activities under a project sum to it exactly; in the current year they under-cover it in about 9% of cases, so an activity's delta can legitimately exceed its parent's and the two must not be compared row to row.
