> **NEW START.** $15.5M requested in FY2027 with no prior-year and no current-year funding.

## Summary

This activity requests $15.5M in FY2027, 100% of project MPE — 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.** Develop data model with new and existing MPE solutions, correlate and map data fields between Maven Smart Systems and existing operational capabilities for an improved common operational picture, implement bi-directional interfaces, and implement container orchestration in Joint Operational Edge Coalition Environment nodes.

**FY2026 to FY2027 change.** Change is due to the transfer responsibilities for Mission Partner Environment (MPE) operations, sustainment, and development activities from the United States Air Force to Department of War CIO and the Defense Information System Agency. In FY27, the Mission Partner Environment (MPE) portfolio will provide the foundational technology and support that enables the DoW to effectively collaborate and interoperate with mission partners across all phases of operations.

## Funding

| Fiscal Year | Estimate Type | Amount ($M) |
|---|---|---|
| FY2025 | Actual | 0.0 |
| FY2027 | Request | 15.5 |
