**R-2A activity** of project CC01 — Global Command  
**Program element:** 0303150K — Global Command and Control System Software and Digital Technology Pilot Programs  
**Component:** Defense-Wide · **Budget Activity:** 8

> **NEW START.** $16.0M requested in FY2027 with no prior-year and no current-year funding.

## Summary

This activity requests $16.0M in FY2027, 13% of project CC01 — a new start with no prior-year and no current-year money. The R-2A exhibit describes it across FY2027, including what the FY2027 money is planned to buy.

## What the FY2027 request buys

**FY2027 planned work.** • Leverage MARS software development kits to build software to interface with the published Application Programming Interfaces. • Map current GCCS-J data fields taken from MIDB to analogous MARS data fields. • Develop software to accommodate MARS data fields that do not exist in MIDB. • Establish and test initial connectivity with MARS to allow the receipt of data into GCCS-J. • Establish a write capability from GCCS-J back into MARS. • Field a version of GCCS-J software that will allow the user community to access the richer MARS data

**FY2026 to FY2027 change.** The increase of +$16.000 million from FY 2026 to FY 2027 is required to rapidly develop and deploy a GCCS-J software version capable of exchanging data with the Machine-assisted Analytic Rapid-repository System (MARS) being fielded by the DIA. DISA must replace connections to the sunsetting Military Intelligence Integrated Database (MIDB) in time to allow the user community to migrate prior to March 2028.

## Funding

| Fiscal Year | Estimate Type | Amount ($M) |
|---|---|---|
| FY2027 | Request | 16.0 |

> Prior, current and budget year only — an R-2A activity carries no five-year plan. It sums exactly into its project in the request year and not necessarily in any other.
