## 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.

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