What project MC31 buys
Engineering and Cyber Operations provides monitoring and tracking of Cybersecurity mitigations detailed in Information Technology security Plan of Action and Milestones. Activities include preparation of certification and accreditation documentation and accreditation recommendations to the Missile Defense Agency (MDA) Senior Information Assurance Officer/Certification Authority and Designated Approving Authority. Independent Verification and Validation team actions ensure the availability, integrity, authentication, confidentiality and non-repudiation of the MDA mission, test and administrative systems. Activities are necessary to comply with the Federal Information Security Management Act. Engineering and Cyber Operations implements Risk Management Framework system engineering principles as specified within the Department of Defense (DoD) Instruction DoD 8510.01 to acquire, design, test, implement and field technical solutions throughout the systems architecture to ensure sufficient protections exist from a threat and risk-based approach. MDA's goal is to ensure Cybersecurity engineering principles flow into system requirements and design specifications early to provide the most cost benefit and ensure security controls are aligned with the National Institute of Standards and Technology 800-53a security controls as applicable to systems categorized as National Security Systems. Technical Intelligence Cybersecurity provides comprehensive cybersecurity risk reduction functions and services in support of both internal and external MDA stakeholders in order to strengthen confidence in MDA systems. This effort includes working with DIB partners to ensure protection of MDA critical information, and implementation of an Agency-wide Supply Chain Risk Management program. The Trusted Workforce Security program identifies, deters, and mitigates potential insider threats. These Presidentially and Department of War (DoW) mandated efforts include a Counter-Insider Threat Program, a Personnel Security Program and a Special Security Office.

Project MC31 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 | 23.7 |
| FY2026 | Enacted | 17.3 |
| FY2027 | Request | 17.7 |
| FY2028 | Outyear | 19.9 |
| FY2029 | Outyear | 19.6 |
| FY2030 | Outyear | 21.0 |
| FY2031 | Outyear | 21.5 |
1 accomplishment / planned program
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.
The exhibit describes this work once, for project MC31 as a whole, rather than per activity. Read the project justification →
Named performers on project MC31
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.
