### Project 2913 — Electromagnetic Systems Advanced Technology

Work in this project addresses cost-effective Radio Frequency (RF) technology for Surface and Aerospace Surveillance sensors and systems, Electronic Warfare (EW) sensors and systems, RF Communication Systems, Multi-Function sensor systems, and Position, Navigation and Timing (PNT) capabilities.

| Activity (R-2A) | FY2025 | FY2026 | FY2027 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Electronic and Electromagnetic Systems | 4.0 | 4.5 | 4.5 |
| Global Positioning System (GPS) and Navigation Technology | 4.3 | 4.1 | 4.1 |

> R-2A activities carry the prior, current and budget year only — no five-year plan. Coverage is partial, so count them, never total them.

### Project 9999 — Congressional Adds

Develop AI/ML algorithms for object recognition.

## Mission & acquisition strategy

The Navy and Marine Corps' sophisticated electronics systems place heavy demands on the electromagnetic spectrum to accommodate information flow, defensive and offensive detection, tracking, and weapon system engagement. In distributed maritime operations, each of these platforms provides a set of capabilities that can be further combined for progressively larger and more complex operations.
