What project MC08 buys
The GMD Cyber Operations project provides cybersecurity and cyber resiliency to maintain and operate all mission and mission support systems. The GMD systems must maintain Network and System Certification and Accreditation for operation on all GMD networks and nodes. Cybersecurity and Cyber Resiliency efforts harden the GMD system against a cyber-attack and reduces system vulnerabilities. The strategy implements cybersecurity and cyber resiliency systems throughout the lifecycle to flow requirements to the Ground Based Interceptor, Next Generation Interceptor, and GMD Weapon System to influence system development. In addition, Cybersecurity and Cyber Resiliency efforts include developmental cyber testing and assessments to reduce cyber vulnerabilities prior to fielding.

Project MC08 funding, FY2025–FY2031
Prior years are actuals, the budget year is the request, and the outyears are the FYDP plan. Estimate types are colored and never summed into one figure. Projects carry the full five-year plan; the activities inside them stop at the budget year.
| Fiscal Year | Estimate Type | Amount ($M) |
|---|---|---|
| FY2025 | Actual | 22.5 |
| FY2026 | Enacted | 26.0 |
| FY2027 | Request | 67.1 |
| FY2028 | Outyear | 52.8 |
| FY2029 | Outyear | 24.9 |
| FY2030 | Outyear | 25.4 |
| FY2031 | Outyear | 82.9 |
2 accomplishments / planned programs
The R-2A exhibit — the only level of the budget that describes work that has not happened yet. Activities carry the prior, current and budget year only, no five-year plan. Coverage is partial across the corpus, so count activities, never total them.
FY2027 planned work - Provide hardware tech refresh, training, and management to ensure protection of Ground-Based Midcourse Defense (GMD) networks and Department of War (DoW) system compliance.
FY2026 to FY2027 change - Increase from FY 2026 to FY 2027 provides for support of hardware tech refresh, training, and management.
The exhibit describes this work once, for project MC08 as a whole, rather than per activity. Read the project justification →
Named performers on project MC08
Performers named in the R-3 exhibit under this project. Share is of the project's whole FY2027 R-3 total — the same denominator the program-element split uses, so the two read on one scale and will not sum to 100% when unnamed or government work is in the mix. Budget-justification contract funding, not obligations.
