## What project CY50M1 buys

USCYBERCOM’s Missile Defense and Defeat Environment funding provides advanced, domain agnostic non kinetic capabilities that directly support the Command’s operational directives and national level strategic guidance. These investments enable USCYBERCOM to develop, integrate, and employ cyber capabilities that enhance the Joint Force’s ability to detect, disrupt, degrade, and defeat adversary missile systems and supporting infrastructure. MDDE funding aligns with and supports the priorities outlined in the FY 2026 National Defense Strategy, the Department of War Cyber Strategy, and other validated requirements documents that identify critical capability gaps against emerging and advanced threats. These resources ensure USCYBERCOM can deliver timely, precise, and scalable non kinetic effects that complement kinetic options, expand decision space for Combatant Commanders, and strengthen the nation’s integrated deterrence posture. MDDE capabilities enhance the Joint Force’s ability to: • Provide non kinetic options for missile defense and defeat missions • Impose cost and operational friction on adversary missile enterprises • Disrupt adversary kill chains and degrade enabling infrastructure • Support Combatant Commanders with rapid, flexible, and reversible effects • Integrate cyber effects into multi domain operations at speed and scale These investments ensure USCYBERCOM remains postured to counter evolving missile threats and deliver operationally relevant capabilities that strengthen national defense and strategic deterrence.
