### Project CCC-02 — INFORMATION INTEGRATION SYSTEMS

The Information Integration Systems project develops and demonstrates technologies that will provide effective communications to U.S. forces. The success of military operations depends on timely, reliable, secure, and synchronized dissemination of command and control and relevant situational awareness information to every military echelon. While wired communications and networks are fairly well developed, providing assured high-bandwidth mobile wireless capabilities that match or exceed commercial wired infrastructure is needed to meet the demands of military users. Approaches to this goal include developing technologies in these areas: - High-Capacity Links technologies - enables greater back-haul capability. - Advanced Networking technologies - supports resilience, adaptability, scalability, and composable systems to enable adaptive effects webs. - Low Probability of Detection and Anti-Jam (LPD/AJ) technologies - provides assured communications in very high-threat environments. - Novel Radio Frequency and Spectral Sensing (RF/SS) - supports efficient spectrum management in congested environments and detection of electromagnetic threats. Beginning in FY 2026, efforts in this Project will be funded in PE 0603469E, Project AET-01.

### Project CCC-05 — CYBER SYSTEMS

The Cyber Systems project develops, implements, and demonstrates techniques, tools, and frameworks for the full range of cyber operations. Cyber is now ubiquitous to warfighting. For non-kinetic operations in advance of lethal conflict, cyber can be a powerful enabler of operations that limit adversary options and deter adversary aggression. For kinetic operations during lethal conflict, cyber can be a force multiplier and provide an asymmetric advantage. The Cyber Systems project aims to create operational prototypes based on the cyber technology developed in applied research programs, in the private sector, and in academia. The utility of the operational prototypes that are developed in this project will be assessed, and improvements made, based on demonstrations and evaluations conducted in collaboration with warfighters, acquisition programs, and combatant commands. Beginning in FY 2026, efforts in this Project will be funded in PE 0603469E, Project AET-03.

| Activity (R-2A) | FY2025 | FY2026 | FY2027 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Carcosa | 40.0 | — | — |
| Constellation | 28.0 | — | — |
| Resilient Software Systems Capstones (RSS Capstones) | 10.0 | — | — |
| Mechanical Reckoning | 4.8 | — | — |

### Project CCC-06 — COMMAND, CONTROL AND COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS

This project funds classified DARPA programs that are reported in accordance with the SAP Annual Report to Congress. Beginning in FY 2026, efforts in this Project will be funded in PE 0603467E, Project DAT-06.

## Mission & acquisition strategy

The efforts described in this Program Element (PE) address the Advanced Technology Development associated with the Command, Control and Communications Systems Program focused on demonstrating and evaluating advanced information systems research and development concepts. The Information Integration Systems project develops and demonstrates technologies that will provide effective communications to U.S. forces. The success of military operations depends on timely, reliable, secure, and synchronized dissemination of command and control and relevant situational awareness information to every military echelon.
