## Summary

This activity requests $40.9M in FY2027, 15% of project MD24, up 42% on FY2026. The R-2A exhibit describes it across FY2026–FY2027, including what the FY2027 money is planned to buy.

## What the FY2027 request buys

**FY2027 planned work.** - Finalize, configure control, and deliver the JTMC Bridge Standard v3.0 updates. - Initial JTMC Bridge fielding (into Service PoRs) to include Integrated Battle Command System (IBCS), CEC/CTN, TOC-L and ABADS-MD. - Integrate JTIFC and the Joint Service LVC environment into the Guam Defense System (GDS) Joint Program Office (JPO) Defense of Guam Mission Engineering Environment (DGMEE). - Support Office of the Secretary of War Research & Evaluation Defense Acceleration Initiative Cross Service Sensor Netting Live Fire flight tests to provide objective quality evidence to support JTMC-B fielding and certification. - Provide JTIFC capabilities support for Combatant Command (CCMD) exercises (e.g. Project Convergence, Northern Edge 27 & Formidable Shield 27). - Establish JTIFC Software Integration Lab (SIL) for integration, testing and certification, critical to ensure successful fielding of JTMC-B. - Provide IAMD M&S model improvements, and system engineering analysis of cross-Service kill chains using high-fidelity software-in-the-loop program office system representations. - Mature and update JTIFC capabilities in digital and hardware infrastructure to support testing in Joint Live, Virtual, Constructive (LVC) environment. - Development/experimentation to demonstrate integration with Allies and Partner Nations to counter advanced threats through joint integrated fire control capabilities using the JTMC-B. - Prototype, demonstrate & develop capability to pass Proliferated Warfighter Space Architecture (PWSA) sensor data directly into Service IAMD tactical weapon systems using the JTMC-B to counter advanced threats with partnership from Space Development Agency. - Conduct engineering and integration necessary to establish a space-based composite tracking network. - Concept development of networked Electronic Protection (EP) efforts by defining EP sensor features, EP data sharing, and prototype EP identification between Service IAMD combat systems. - Systems engineering, integration, prototyping and demonstration of JTIFC enabled Counter-Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) capabilities using JTMC-B.

**FY2026 to FY2027 change.** Increase from FY 2026 to FY 2027 provides for hardware-in-the-loop Combatant Command exercise demonstration of Allies and Partner integration, foreign radar integration, establishes JTIFC SIL, and integration of the Space Development Agency's Proliferated Warfighter Space Architecture into Service IAMD combat systems.

## Before the request year

**FY2026 plans — current year.** - Evaluate composite tracking networks to identify, engage and counter advanced threats. - Refine advanced cross-Service kill chains in preparation for a live fire event in 2027. - Continue architecture and prototyping efforts to improve integrated fire control. - A single-year increase in FY 2026 will: -- Establish JTIFC digital systems integration lab to support rapid integration, evaluation and refinement of JTIFC capabilities implementations into Army, Navy, Air Force and Marine Corps IAMD systems with virtualized tactical code representations of those systems. -- Establish systems engineering and configuration management processes and capabilities for JTIFC requirements, standards, interface control documents and software. -- Establish a standardized set of JTIFC analysis tools and capabilities to include deployable analysis kits to support on-site exercise and experimentation quick turn support.

## Funding

| Fiscal Year | Estimate Type | Amount ($M) |

| FY2027 | Request | 40.9 |

> Prior, current and budget year only — an R-2A activity carries no five-year plan. It sums exactly into its project in the request year and not necessarily in any other.
