## What project 1510 buys

Technology Candidates supporting Expeditionary and Naval Forces. The objective is to develop and mature technologies needed by the Navy to initiate FNCs that can be commenced at higher Technology Readiness Levels (TRLs). The FNC Program is structured to accelerate the transition of new technologies to the Fleet and Force. Each effort is assessed for its technology maturity and transition commitment.

### Force Protection — NEW START

- Initiate research in the area of increased range and lethality for small form factor weapon systems in support of EABO. (Expeditionary Maneuver Warfare (EMW) and Combating Terrorism) - Initiate research to improve warfighter effectiveness in command, control, computers and communication, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance in…

### Human Performance, Training and Education — NEW START

**FY2027 planned work.** - Initiate research to develop portable Live, Virtual, and Constructive (LVC) kits that enable standalone or integrated training within a contested littoral or maritime operating environment for forward deployed units. - Initiate research to develop AI applications to support gaming scenario summaries, debriefs, interactive reflection, and assessment/evaluation.

**FY2026 to FY2027 change.** The increase in funding from FY 2026 to FY 2027 is due to the realignment and consolidation of all expeditionary funding requirements within PE 0602750N from planned program in Projects 1502 C5ISR/Naval Space, 1503 Directed Energy & Kinetic Systems and 1508 Undersea Systems into the new Project 1510 Expeditionary Campaign. Planned programs have been updated to align to current expeditionary priorities.

### Command, Control, Communications, and Computers (C4) — NEW START

**FY2027 planned work.** - Initiate an effort to develop automated sonar processing and sensor command and control to Naval Expeditionary platforms/systems to contribute to the Undersea Warfare (USW) fight.

**FY2026 to FY2027 change.** The increase in funding from FY 2026 to FY 2027 is due to the realignment and consolidation of all expeditionary funding requirements within PE 0602750N from planned program in Projects 1502 C5ISR/Naval Space, 1503 Directed Energy & Kinetic Systems and 1508 Undersea Systems into the new Project 1510 Expeditionary Campaign. Planned programs have been updated to align to current expeditionary priorities.

### Logistics — NEW START

**FY2027 planned work.** - Initiate research to develop rapid, field executable (forward deployed) composite structural repair technologies.

**FY2026 to FY2027 change.** The increase in funding from FY 2026 to FY 2027 is due to the realignment and consolidation of all expeditionary funding requirements within PE 0602750N from planned program in Projects 1502 C5ISR/Naval Space, 1503 Directed Energy & Kinetic Systems and 1508 Undersea Systems into the new Project 1510 Expeditionary Campaign. Planned programs have been updated to align to current expeditionary priorities.

## What is NOT on this page

Congressional marks, the R-2 mission description and acquisition strategy, the industry vs government split of the whole request, and related program elements are recorded at **program-element** grain — an NDAA mark lands on a PE, never on a project.
