What project MC30 buys
Cyber Operations supports Defense Modernization and Missile Defense Agency (MDA) Chief Information Officer (CIO) priorities to fully support network command, control and communications and Cybersecurity, increase system reliability to build warfighter confidence, and address advanced cyber threats. MDA's Office of the CIO has prioritized four program topics: (1) Detect, Analyze and Mitigate Intrusions; (2) Prevent Malicious Cyber Activity; (3) Planning, Policy Development, Workforce Training & Force Management; and (4) Cybersecurity Risk Management. In order to support the prioritized program topics, MDA must implement a multi-tiered cybersecurity monitoring and risk management capability to protect critical Missile Defense System data and systems from rapidly evolving internal and external threats. The funds requested in this PE provide Missile Defense Agency's legacy and new system development the operational cybersecurity capabilities to meet President Trump's Cybersecurity Strategy for America, March 2026 mandates; specifically facilitating MDA's capability to modernize and secure government networks and critical infrastructure, sustain MDA's superiority in critical and emerging technologies, and build cyber operations talent and capacity to meet growing adversarial threat capabilities.

Project MC30 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 | 91.6 |
| FY2026 | Enacted | 67.9 |
| FY2027 | Request | 273.4 |
| FY2028 | Outyear | 208.9 |
| FY2029 | Outyear | 210.5 |
| FY2030 | Outyear | 211.2 |

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. 2 of them describe FY2027 work in enough detail to have their own page; the rest are shown here in full. Coverage is partial across the corpus, so count activities, never total them.
- Extend Comply-to-Connect and Zero Trust services and capabilities to network infrastructure across RDT&E environments. - Implement DevSecOps environments/infrastructure. - Expand Agency Identity and Credentialed Access Management. - Expand Cloud environments. - Implement mandated DoW CIO cryptographic technical refresh to address…
Read the FY2027 plan →- Initiates end-to-end support for DCO requirements for new systems, long-haul communications transition, cryptographic, end user support, and legacy cybersecurity tool modernization, and increased SAP network and storage requirements to support Missile Defense System - Next requirements.
Read the FY2027 plan →FY2027 planned work - Enhance data standardization across all Missile Defense System - Next components. - Expand AI and Machine Learning (ML) analysis efforts.
FY2026 to FY2027 change Increase from FY 2026 to FY 2027 provides for enhanced data standardization best practices (consistent, common data sets) across all Missile Defense System - Next components. The increase also provides the ability to generate data dictionaries to enable AI/ML utilization for a more rapid analysis response.
FY2026 to FY2027 change Increase from FY 2026 to FY 2027 provides for the transfer of funding and requirements to this R-2a Accomplishment (Cybersecurity Risk Management) to comply with the OMB Cybersecurity Taxonomy.
The exhibit describes this work once, for project MC30 as a whole, rather than per activity. Read the project justification →
FY2027 planned work - No funding is requested in FY 2027.
FY2026 to FY2027 change Decrease from FY 2026 to FY 2027 reflects re-alignment of this R-2a Accomplishment (Preventing Malicious Cybersecurity Activity) and requirements to comply with the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Cybersecurity Taxonomy.
FY2026 to FY2027 change Decrease from FY 2026 to FY 2027 reflects re-alignment of this R-2a Accomplishment (Continuous Monitoring) and requirements to comply with OMB Cybersecurity Taxonomy.
Named performers on project MC30
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.
