## What project 641024 buys

The Command and Control Applications Program (C2AP) supports ICBM weapon system connectivity to the President and National Command Authorities. C2AP studies and assesses both legacy and future C2 system technologies. C2AP evaluates and develops assured, survivable, and secure communications and battlespace awareness between the missile Launch Control Centers and Launch Facilities essential for mission execution. Efforts include identifying and developing current and future technologies, as well as concepts that exploit state-of-the-art communications and information transfer techniques to both current and future ICBM systems. Products include studies, demonstrations, and tests such as ICBM Advanced C2 Capabilities architectures, networks, and systems to meet nuclear C2 requirements. This program element may include necessary civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver weapon system capability. The use of such program funds would be in addition to the civilian pay expenses budgeted in program element 0605827F, 0605828F, 0605829F, 0605831F, 0605832F, 0605833F, 0605898F, 0606398F. In FY 2025 0M was expended for civilian pay expenses in this program element, and in FY 2026 0M is forecasted for civilian pay expenses in this program element.

**R-3 lines of work:** Test and Evaluation.

> Activities carry the prior, current and budget year only — no five-year plan. In the request year they partition this project exactly; in earlier years they can under-cover it.

### Command and Control Application Program

•Continue Advanced C2 Capabilities research to design and develop an enhanced and reliable communication system. •Finalize end-to-end crypto effort to conduct a variety of cost-benefit studies for future system upgrades and modifications.

## What is NOT on this page

Congressional marks, the R-2 mission description and acquisition strategy, the industry vs government split of the whole request, and related program elements are recorded at **program-element** grain — an NDAA mark lands on a PE, never on a project.
