# Full Spectrum Cyber

**R-2A activity** of project 1502 — C5ISR/Naval Space  
**Program element:** 0602750N — Future Naval Capabilities Applied Research  
**Component:** U.S. Navy · **Budget Activity:** 2  
**Vintage:** President's Budget PB2027  
**Canonical URL:** https://hitchintel.com/programs/0602750N/1502/a2  
**Parent:** https://hitchintel.com/programs/0602750N/1502

## Summary

This activity requests $13.7M in FY2027, 17% of project 1502, down 38% on FY2026. The R-2A exhibit describes it across FY2026–FY2027, including what the FY2027 money is planned to buy.

## What the FY2027 request buys

**FY2027 planned work.** - Continue developing tools for coordinating cyber and EW effects. - Continue developing machine learning for autonomous cyber defense approaches. - Continue efforts to exploit protocol weaknesses for naval applications. - Continue efforts in protocol dialecting for resilience and threat identification. - Continue collaborative algorithm and software development with stakeholders and partners. - Continue developing tools to analyze and understand resilience of data fusion methods. - Initiate development of a cost effective, highly performant, portable and power efficient AI supercomputer for use in marine environments.

**FY2026 to FY2027 change.** The funding decrease from FY 2026 to FY2027 reflects the completion of a comprehensive, large-scale Modeling and simulation (M&S) environment.

## Before the request year

**FY2026 plans — current year.** Continue: - Developing tools for coordinating cyber and EW effects. - Machine learning for autonomous cyber defense approaches. - Efforts to exploit protocol weaknesses for naval applications. - Efforts in protocol dialecting for resilience and threat identification. - Collaborative algorithm and software development with stakeholders and partners. Complete: - Efforts to automate leveraging of over-permissioned protocol implementations. - Development of comprehensive, large-scale Modeling and simulation (M&S) environment for characterization of AI/ML techniques. Initiate: - Developing tools to analyze and understand resilience of data fusion methods.
