### Project 121 — SO/LIC Advanced Development

FY26 SO/LIC Advanced Development has been realigned into the CTTS 122. No funds in FY26 and out. This program supports the Department's initiatives to Deter Aggression, Defend the Homeland, and Build Sustainable and Long-Term Advantage. The Advanced Development (AD) subgroup within IWTSD built on lessons learned from more than a decade of developing, managing, and overseeing the Secure Unclassified Network (SUNet) and is now developing, testing, and delivering advanced tools and capabilities for the Department of War (DoW) to campaign in and through cyberspace, maximize cyber capabilities in support of integrated deterrence, and effectively use cyber operations to generate asymmetric advantages. The AD subgroup streamlines the implementation and validation of Artificial Intelligence and cybersecurity requirements across IWTSD’s project portfolio as well as develops novel tools and capabilities in collaboration with our partners across the cyber domain.
