What project MD28 buys
The Intelligence and Security Program provides multi-disciplinary intelligence, security, and engineering for Missile Defense System acquisition, development, test and deployment. The Intelligence and Security Major Program Goals are: - Ensure the Intelligence Community (IC) understands and fulfills the MDA's current and future prioritized intelligence requirements; advocate Missile Defense development and test intelligence requirements. - Leverage available National and Department of War (DoW) Counterintelligence resources. Ensure counterintelligence products and services are fully integrated into all Research, Development, Test, and Evaluation programs and activities to protect classified information and critical technologies and to protect MDA and Missile Defense System personnel, facilities, information and activities. - Provide cross-Agency acquisition security oversight and support for robust acquisition program protection, to include the identification and protection of Critical Program Information. Implement MDA's information security and declassification programs. Strengthen Test and Operations Security across the Agency. Manage Agency regulatory declassification and information security program. Provide physical security policy for Missile Defense System weapon/sensor deployments, including Foreign Military Sales. - Produce threat definitions and model packages, Adversary Data Packages, and Flight Test Target Requirements and Target System Performance Specifications; provide Real World Event analysis. These efforts provide critical information regarding threat missile system capabilities; protection of personnel, activities, and technology from espionage and terrorism; and identification and mitigation of Missile Defense System vulnerabilities.

Project MD28 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 | 59.4 |
| FY2026 | Enacted | 55.9 |
| FY2027 | Request | 66.8 |
| FY2028 | Outyear | 69.9 |
| FY2029 | Outyear | 71.5 |
| FY2030 | Outyear | 72.4 |
| FY2031 | Outyear | 73.0 |
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. 1 of them describes FY2027 work in enough detail to have its own page; the rest are shown here in full. Coverage is partial across the corpus, so count activities, never total them.
- Define MDA intelligence requirements for IC support of future Missile Defense design, development, test, and deployment. - Update cybersecurity systems engineering policy and guidance for future Missile Defense design and acquisition.

Named performers on project MD28
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.
