## What project 674212 buys

This budget line funds the National Leadership Command Capability (NLCC) Decision Support Service (DSS). NLCC DSS will develop and deliver software to directly support strategic leaders in time critical national events. NLCC DSS will improve situational awareness of threats to the U.S. and its Allies, aggregate strategic-level information, and provide response options in a common, resilient, and mobile visual display capability. NLCC DSS is developing conference modules that will directly support senior leaders with a common visual display to enhance national-level situational awareness and strategic-level decision making. The program includes the Nuclear Command and Control (NC2) Conference Module that will be integrated into the Strategic Mission Planning and Execution System (SMPES) enterprise architecture as well as at least two additional follow-on conference modules to support other mission areas and Combatant Commands. These additional conference modules are not expected to be a part of the SMPES enterprise architecture. This program element included all necessary 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 0605829F, 0605831F, 0605833F, and 0605898F.

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