### Project 947 — Joint Fires Network (JFN)

In FY 2027, JFN will complete testing of and deliver v3.0 software capabilities and multi-level security (MLS) capability enhancements. The latter provides an MLS All-source Persistent Targeting Common Operating Picture and hybrid-cloud architecture that integrates the tactical edge with current operational capabilities and networks with JFN. v3.0 also integrates Generative AI models in special access facilities to enable decision superiority for fires across the JFN. Additionally, FY 2027 will see the completion of delivery of outstanding JFN Operations Centers and nodes in USINDOPACOM. The Joint Fires Network (JFN) is a multi-domain resilient fires-informing decision network at theater strategic and operational levels that provides a persistent targeting common operating picture and mission command applications at the SAP level to enable top echelon decision makers to optimize allocation of weapons across Services and partners at speed and scale.
