## What the FY2027 request buys

**FY2027 planned work.** - Will perform the test phase of the development program of the KG-210 GOE combining space and terrestrial communications capabilities into single device to seamlessly connect the space and terrestrial networks at all space operations centers. - Will start the development of the Cryptographic Modernization 2 (CM2) effort for the Advanced Extremely High Frequency (AEHF) satellite communications (SATCOM) terminal core cryptographic capabilities into a single common encryption unit which will support multiple AEHF SATCOM terminals.

**FY2026 to FY2027 change.** Funding increased to begin development on the AEHF SATCOM terminal core cryptographic capabilities in addition to the KG-210 development.

## Before the request year

**FY2026 plans — current year.** - Achieving Critical Design Review for the development of the KG-210 Ground Operating Equipment (GOE) combining space and terrestrial communications capabilities into single device to seamlessly connect the space and terrestrial networks at all space operations centers.
