## Summary

This activity requests $46.7M in FY2027, 64% of project CY50J1, down 3.0% on FY2026. The R-2A exhibit describes it across FY2025–FY2027, including what the FY2027 money is planned to buy.

## What the FY2027 request buys

**FY2027 planned work.** Funding will support the implementation and deployment of the JCWA Next-Gent architecture, increasing efficiency and speed-to-deployment for JCWA-developed capabilities through a common software line for all JCWA components. This critical effort will establish a common software line for all JCWA components, significantly increasing efficiency and speed-to-deployment for cyber warfighting capabilities. Funding will specifically resource the full integration of JCWA-wide control mechanisms to provide comprehensive observability, ensure high availability, and deliver a quantifiable return on investment for all mission systems. Furthermore, this investment will accelerate the integration and fielding of advanced capabilities, directly enhancing the effectiveness and tempo of both Offensive and Defensive Cyberspace Operations across the force.

**FY2026 to FY2027 change.** The $1.454M decrease from reflects efficiencies gained through optimized contracting strategies and the realignment of the Command’s Cross Domain Solution effort into the Data and Sensors portfolio. These adjustments streamline JCWA investments while preserving the Command’s ability to deliver integrated, interoperable, and scalable cyber warfighting capabilities.

## Before the request year

**FY2026 plans — current year.** Funding will support delivery of operational development and deployment initiatives aligned to USCYBERCOM’s validated JCWA-NextGen architecture, eliminating unnecessary cross-JCWA duplication by 80% and increasing efficiency and speed-to-deployment for JCWA-developed capabilities through a common software baseline for all JCWA components. These initiatives include the convergence on a JCWA Common Runtime Stack (JCRS), consolidation of a hybrid and multi-cloud JCWA-Cloud (JCloud) environment, and consolidation of a Joint Development Environment. These funds will also support additional development and operational deployment of: • JCWA enterprise-wide identity, credential, and access management (ICAM) capabilities to enable increased efficiency and security when accessing JCWA capabilities. • Enterprise-level, cross-domain solutions to securely and effectively share data across classification boundaries.

**FY2025 accomplishments.** FY 2025 JCWA integration funds support the continued development and initial delivery of: • Central JCWA-level security operations center capabilities to reduce system-of-systems vulnerability and more rapidly respond to adversary attacks. • JCWA enterprise-wide identity and access management capabilities to enable increased efficiency and security. • Enterprise-level, cross-domain solutions to securely and effectively share data across classification boundaries. • Deploy protypes and testing to align Service programs with the validated cross-program JCWA Next Generation Reference Design (JNeRD) architecture. These funds also support: • Deliver threat informed, JCWA system-of-systems operational testing • Expand integration of Special Access Program (SAP) and Special Technical Operations (STO) capabilities as they mature and • Increase the deliberate procurement and use of technical talent to exercise central technical authority across all JCWA component programs, with a focus on cross-program alignment to a validated mission architecture, testing and validation of operational acceptance. FY 2025 funding will achieve further maturation of early Constellation program process successes to transition DARPA technologies into operational use at USCYBERCOM. Key technologies slated for transition from DARPA to USCYBERCOM include defensive and offensive tools, AI based offensive cyberspace operations tools, IO and C-ISR tools, and C2 technologies. Each transition is enabled by deep operational feedback provided in real time by the transition partner JCWA PMO. This funding also supports initial transition, as appropriate, to commercially provided foundational cloud services and infrastructure, enabling more efficient software development and deployment.
