## Summary

U.S. Navy funding ramps 26% to a $13.7M request in FY2027, sustained across the five-year plan. In the FY2027 defense authorization, the House added 36% (to $18.7M); the Senate funded it in full; House appropriators funded it in full. SSC-LANT leads the industry work, though an unusually large share flows to government labs and warfare centers.

### Project 3018 — Facilities Related Controls Systems (FRCS) Cybersecurity RDTE

The Cyber Vulnerability Assessments and Evaluations program funds cyber vulnerability assessments of critical shore infrastructure. Funding will be used for assessments of prioritized critical shore infrastructure and will build upon existing mission assurance, blue team, and red team capabilities. As instructed by the Congressional language, the assessments will utilize DoE and DoW national laboratory partnerships. Assessments will end with the submission of a final report to Congress. Strategies and procedures for mitigating the risk of cyber vulnerabilities should be identified during the course of evaluation vulnerability.

| Activity (R-2A) | FY2025 | FY2026 | FY2027 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cyber Protection and Response Capability (CPRC) | 1.0 | 3.0 | 4.0 |
| More Situational Awareness (MOSAICS) | 3.0 | 3.5 | 5.6 |
| Digital Twin Development | 0.9 | 0.0 | 0.0 |

> 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 3155 — Force Protection Ashore

In accordance with Navy Shore Strategic Guidance 2024-2029 Protection of Navy installations against evolving threats in a peer competition environment requires deployment of advanced technology for force protection capabilities. This Force Protection ashore project will develop, demonstrate and validate technologies for the following: access control and integrated perimeter security surveillance sensors and intelligent electronic security systems for automated counter intrusion detection (Installation Protection); perimeter security; waterside protection against craft and swimmer intrusion; secure and efficient operations centers and emergency management centers including human and information support systems (Command and Control).Programs currently being evaluated are, standard-based enterprise physical security system integration and automation; Command, Control, and Communications (C3) capabilities for emergency operations; integrated and networked mass notification systems (MNS); Waterside intelligent video security systems; integrated over-the-water sensors and analytics for automated course of action planning; identifying and interdicting malevolent threats - watercraft, swimmers, divers, and unmanned underwater vessels (UUVs) to reduce injury and death to the warfighter and damage to high value units (HVUs)(Waterside Protection). Through demonstration and validation of risk modeling and simulation models, the potential of emerging technologies will be evaluated and installation security strategies that reduce manpower and other costs will be formulated. Multiple systems with sensors and cameras are being deployed on Navy installations to be used for threat assessment. These systems are not integrated and there is not a centralized location or system that all the data can be analyzed. The Installation Defense Operations Center aggregates all these sensor feeds into one location and the Sensor Management System (SMS) software provides an integrated picture so that an intelligent assessment can be made. Current Force Protection systems to be integrated include Airfield Enclave Electronic Security Systems (AE-ESS), Blue Robotic and Autonomous Systems (RAS), Counter Unmanned Systems (C-UxS) (Air, land, sea) and the Electronic Harbor Security System and leverages personnel specifically trained to operate in in the RAS environment.

**Named R-3 performers** (share of this project's FY2027 R-3 total, so they need not reach 100%)**:** SSC-LANT (2.2, 100%).

| Activity (R-2A) | FY2025 | FY2026 | FY2027 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Force Protection Ashore | 1.4 | 2.0 | 2.2 |

> 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 0995 — Naval Facilities System

Naval Facilities System (NFS) researches, develops, tests, and evaluates technologies enhancing the entire lifecycle of critical naval infrastructure, from planning and design to construction, maintenance, and modernization. This applies to facilities such as piers, drydocks, airfields, and nuclear sites. The goal of these technologies is to increase the speed and quality of construction, reduce long-term maintenance and building costs, and enhance infrastructure resilience to ensure that operations can continue uninterrupted through natural disasters or adversarial attacks.

| Activity (R-2A) | FY2025 | FY2026 | FY2027 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Critical Facilities Sustainment, Restoration & Modernization | 1.0 | 1.1 | 1.0 |
| Waterfront Facilities, Repair, Upgrade and Service Life Extension | 1.4 | 1.3 | 1.0 |

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

## Where the FY2027 request goes

| Category | Share | $M |
|---|---|---|
| Industry primes | 16% | 2.2 |
| Government labs & warfare centers | 84% | 11.6 |

**Top named industry performers:** SSC-LANT ($2.2M, 16%).

## Mission & acquisition strategy

In accordance with Navy Shore Strategic Guidance 2024-2029 Protection of Navy installations against evolving threats in a peer competition environment requires deployment of advanced technology for force protection capabilities. This Force Protection ashore project will develop, demonstrate and validate technologies for the following: access control and integrated perimeter security surveillance sensors and intelligent electronic security systems for automated counter intrusion detection (Installation Protection); perimeter security; waterside protection against craft and swimmer intrusion; secure and efficient operations centers and emergency management centers including human and…

Project acquisition strategy includes a mix of traditional Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) based contracts, alternative methods such as Other Transactions (OTs), Cooperative Research and Development Agreements (CRADAs) and Educational Partnership Agreements (EPAs) as well as in-house efforts at the warfare center.
