What project MD01 buys
The funds requested in this PE provide both legacy and Global Missile Defense Capability development for the United States, its deployed forces, allies, and partners. The capabilities funded by this budget request are complementary to the architecture funded by the Golden Dome Program's separate budget request and together fulfill the President's Executive Order 14186. The President's January 27, 2025, Executive Order established a goal of protecting the U.S. citizens, safeguarding critical infrastructure, and securing second-strike capability against missile attack from any adversary. This program and budget in addition to the budget requested by the Golden Dome Program Office reflects the changes necessary to protect the U.S. against ballistic, hypersonic, cruise, and other advanced missile threats. C2BMC provides incremental development, deployment, and operational support of C2BMC capabilities required for Missile Defense System planning, situational awareness, sensor management, and engagement coordination. As the integrating element of the Missile Defense System, the C2BMC Program of Record is foundational to all future development and supports annual capability deliveries to support Missile Defense System-Next. C2BMC delivers capabilities incrementally with each software build (named as a Spiral or Capability Build), adding to or enhancing the capability of the previous build. C2BMC incremental delivery of Spiral 8.2 provides critical Homeland Defense for increased Ground-based Midcourse Defense (GMD) battlespace, improved threat tracking using multiple sensors communicating via Link-16, enhanced sensor tasking to meet track quality and discrimination timeliness requirements, Space Domain Awareness (SDA) tasking support, and improved cyber capabilities. Enhanced Homeland Defense also integrates the Ballistic Missile Defense System Overhead Persistent Infrared (OPIR) Architecture (BOA) with the Missile Defense System to enhance system level missile-tracking capabilities through earlier cueing of radars and weapon systems.

Project MD01 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 | 333.0 |
| FY2026 | Enacted | 353.6 |
| FY2027 | Request | 687.0 |
| FY2028 | Outyear | 1,086.8 |
| FY2029 | Outyear | 973.4 |
| FY2030 | Outyear | 989.6 |
| FY2031 | Outyear | 920.7 |

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. 3 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.

Named performers on project MD01
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.
