## 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.

**R-3 lines of work:** Support; Management Services.

### Planning, Policy Development, Workforce Training & Force Management

**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.

### Cybersecurity Risk Management — NEW START

**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.

### Preventing Malicious Cybersecurity Activity

**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.

### Continuous Monitoring

**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.
