### Project 671931 — TECH SURVEIL COUNTER MEAS EQPT

Technical Surveillance Countermeasures (TSCM) develops future technologies designed to find, fix, track, and neutralize law enforcement and counterintelligence threats to the Department of the Air Force (DAF). The technologies will enable criminal and counterintelligence investigations and operations involving high-tech crimes and cyber activities. The technologies are unique, complex, and the equipment must be continuously updated to ensure state-of-the-art capabilities are utilized to counter increasingly sophisticated threats targeting DAF equities. AFOSI also conducts a Capabilities Based Assessment (CBA) the Law Enforcement Evidence Data Repository (LEEDR) program ongoing at Fort Eisenhower, GA. This program element may include necessary civilian pay 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 element 0605827F, 0605828F, 0605829F, 0605831F, 0605832F, 0605833F, 0605898F, 0606398F. In FY2024 $0.000M was expended for civilian pay expenses in this program element, and in FY2025 $0.000M is forecasted for civilian pay expenses in this program element. This program is in Budget Activity 7, Operational System Development because this budget activity includes development efforts to upgrade systems that have been fielded or have received approval for full rate production and anticipate production funding in the current or subsequent fiscal year.

**Named R-3 performers** (share of this project's FY2027 R-3 total, so they need not reach 100%)**:** MRP (3.0, 31%), Virtualitics (1.4, 15%), Veritone (1.4, 15%), NRL (0.8, 8.2%).

| Activity (R-2A) | FY2025 | FY2026 | FY2027 |
|---|---|---|---|
| TSCM | 0.5 | 7.9 | 9.6 |

> R-2A activities carry the prior, current and budget year only — no five-year plan. Coverage is partial, so count them, never total them.

## Where the FY2027 request goes

| Category | Share | $M |
|---|---|---|
| Industry primes | 68% | 6.6 |
| Other / unspecified | 32% | 3.1 |

**Top named industry performers:** MRP ($3.0M, 31%), Virtualitics ($1.4M, 15%), Veritone ($1.4M, 15%), NRL ($0.8M, 8.2%).

> R-3 exhibit contract funding, not USAspending obligations.

## Mission & acquisition strategy

Technical Surveillance Countermeasures (TSCM) develops future technologies designed to find, fix, track, and neutralize law enforcement and counterintelligence threats to the Department of the Air Force (DAF). The technologies will enable criminal and counterintelligence investigations and operations involving high-tech crimes and cyber activities. The technologies are unique, complex, and the equipment must be continuously updated to ensure state-of-the-art capabilities are utilized to counter increasingly sophisticated threats targeting DAF equities.

Market Research and acquisition channels. These funds will support iterative development of next generation Technical Surveillance Countermeasures (TSCM) capabilities, and specialized law enforcement and counterintelligence restricted tools necessary to counter threats, and exploit cyberspace, digital media storage and mobile audio/visual/data communications for operational and felony-level investigative activities. Market research is continuously conducted jointly with partner DoD and USG entities, and once complete, acquisition channels are coordinated and deconflicted.
