## Summary

This activity requests $18.1M in FY2027, 100% of project 9B88, up 83% 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 to scale the ATRT enterprise capabilities that support Cloud Development Environments (DevSecOps software factories, environments, and tools) - Continue the enhancement of ATRT tools supporting DevSecOps CD/CI in support of priority all domain mission thread(s). - Continue the scaling and expansion of ATRT to support cross-domain mission area test and analysis. - Continue to develop ATRT technologies to support Battle Management Aids (BMAs) and Tactical Decision Aids (TDA), including Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning (AI/ML) tools, leveraging scaling on the Navy's data pipeline for AI/ML and digital environments, and inclusion of open cloud environments for third party applications. - Provide support to Information Warfare LVC training events such as NILE, PROJECT CONVERGENCE, and FLEX events to develop fleet CONOPS/CONEMPS ISO OM capability deliverables post-MVP. - Continue support for future capabilities delivery by leveraging FLEX events such as TRIDENT WARRIOR or Large Scale Exercise to mature OM capabilities utilizing live assets in an operational environment.

**FY2026 to FY2027 change.** The ATRT funding profile increases $8.208M RDTEN from FY26 to FY27 to fund the digital ecosystem / test harness sustainment and development to virtualize legacy systems where hardware and software systems are tightly coupled.

## Before the request year

**FY2026 plans — current year.** - Continue to scale the ATRT enterprise capabilities that support Cloud Development Environments (DevSecOps software factories, environments, and tools) - Continue the enhancement of ATRT tools supporting DevSecOps CD/CI in support of priority all domain mission thread(s). - Continue the scaling and expansion of ATRT to support cross-domain mission area test and analysis. - Continue to develop ATRT technologies to support Battle Management Aids (BMAs) and Tactical Decision Aids (TDA), including Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning (AI/ML) tools, leveraging scaling on the Navy's data pipeline for AI/ML and digital environments, and inclusion of open cloud environments for third party applications. - Provide support to Information Warfare LVC training events such as NILE, PROJECT CONVERGENCE, and FLEX events to develop fleet CONOPS/CONEMPS ISO OM capability deliverables post-MVP. - Continue support for future capabilities delivery by leveraging FLEX events such as TRIDENT WARRIOR or Large Scale Exercise to mature OM capabilities utilizing live assets in an operational environment.
