## Summary

This activity requests $25.1M in FY2027, 100% of project 3129, up 61% 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.** Mission Package Computing Environment (MPCE) - AN/SYK-31/ Mission Module Online Boat Trainer (MMOBT): - Develop Technology Refresh of MPCE and certify version 2.X - Complete integration testing of MPCE v2.1 with Integrated Combat Management System (General Dynamics) and COMBATSS 21 (Lockheed) - Complete integration and testing of MPCE v2.X with the SUW MPAS - Continue development of next version of MPCE/MMOBT to address post future Mission Package requirements/ capabilities/cybersecurity improvements, and general hardware obsolescence/necessary technology refresh Field prototype version of MMOBT Multi-Vehicle Communications System (MVCS) - AN/SYC-1/ (VULTURE): - Complete hardware and software development for MVCS 2.X (Tech Refresh) - Complete qualification of new software defined radio (GIRD) in MVCS 2.X - Continue development of software/security improvements to meet the latest cybersecurity requirements - Vulture Follow on Efforts to be continued in 3129 - Develop and integrate link control capability to support multiple simultaneous radios - Implement the M-Code GPS receiver modification for VULTURE LCS Common Mission Package Portable Control Station (MPPCS)/Common Mission Package Trainer (CMPT): - Develop and integrate latest versions of SUW and MCM CMPT systems - Develop improvements to MPPCS to ensure system meets MCM Vessel of Opportunity requirements and supports follow on capabilities - Investigate unmanned architecture improvements - Continue development of Multi-Mission Software Architecture to modularize and enable simultaneous operations of SUW/MCM/future software applications on the Mission Package Computing Environment (MPCE) LCS Multi-Mission Software Architecture - Complete MMSA changes to Common Core Software - MCM software to support hybrid operations - SUW software to support hybrid operations

**FY2026 to FY2027 change.** Increase due to accelerated LCS-1 decommissioning and Phase IIC decision to fund MVCS Tech Refresh in alignment with MCM Deployment guidance, and development of multi-mission architecture to support hybrid operations.

## Before the request year

**FY2026 plans — current year.** Mission Package Computing Environment (MPCE) - AN/SYK-31 - Continue development and implementation of Cyber updates and system improvements to match Mission Package identified deficiencies in MPCE 2.X - Continue integration testing of MPCE v2.1 with Integrated Combat Management System (General Dynamics) and COMBATSS 21 (Lockheed) - Complete integration and testing of MPCE v2.X with the MCM MPAS - Deliver MPCE 2.X lab units in support of LCS and LCS modernization development - Continue development of next version of MPCE to address post future Mission Package requirements/capabilities, cybersecurity improvements, and general hardware obsolescence/necessary technology refresh - Continue development of the next version of the MMOBT and MPCE baseline to address future Mission Package requirements, capabilities, cybersecurity improvements, and general hardware obsolescence/necessary technology refresh. Multi-Vehicle Communications System (MVCS) - AN/SYC-1: - Implementing interim MVCS 1.3 solution to provide proliferated Low Earth Orbit (pLEO) satellite connectivity - Finalize requirements definition in support of MVCS 2.X (Tech Refresh) development - Initiate hardware and software development for MVCS 2.X - Continue development of software/security improvements to meet latest cybersecurity requirements - Begin development and integration of updated link control capability to support multiple simultaneous radios - Conduct shipboard integration and test to support analysis for VULTURE tethered air vehicle for Beyond Line of Sight (BLOS) applications aboard LCS LCS Common Mission Package Portable Control Station (MPPCS)/Common Mission Package Trainer (CMPT) - Develop and integrate latest versions of SUW and MCM CMPT systems - Develop improvements to MPPCS to ensure system meets MCM Vessel of Opportunity and shore-based operation requirements and supports follow-on capabilities - Continue development of Multi-Mission Software Architecture to support simultaneous operations of SUW and MCM Mission Capabilities
