TECH SURVEIL COUNTER MEAS EQPT
Technical Surveillance Countermeasures (TSCM) develops future technologies capable of thwarting advanced hostile force and foreign intelligence technical capabilities. The technologies will provide secure environments for austere mission planning locations and theater commander centers, and will collect information for counterintelligence (CI) operations in support of DoD and AF requirements. CI Cyber activities enable the Department of the Air Force Office of Special Investigations to detect and neutralize covert activities conducted by Foreign Intelligence Entities seeking to compromise classified or sensitive information in cyberspace. The technologies provided will enhance state of the art capabilities to detect and neutralize criminal activities targeted against sensitive and classified AF and DoD information, activities, and technology. 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 FY2025 0.000M was expended for civilian pay expenses in this program element, and in FY2026 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.
FY2027 planned work Will continue advancement of counterintelligence equipment and software.
FY2026 to FY2027 change The FY2026 President's Budget submittal did not reflect the FY2027 through FY2030 funding. Therefore, an explanation of the changes between the two budget positions for FY2027 cannot be made in a relevant manner.
FY2026 plans — current year Continuing advancement of counterintelligence equipment and software.
FY2027 planned work Will continue R&D for new iterations of Cyber Threat Pursuit Activities, COPPER CASTLE, and JUPITER SENTINEL.
