Services, Agencies, and other participating organizations are to identify "best of breed" capabilities developed among the DoD prototyping programs and execute approved projects through large-scale experiments in order to refine and/or validate the Joint Warfighting Concept (JWC). Organizations are to nominate proposals to the Office of the Under Secretary of War for Research and Engineering (OUSW(R&E)) that are multi-component involving Joint Services, International partners and/or other government agencies and link to one or more of the four key supporting concepts ("functional battles") of the Joint Warfighting Concept: Joint Concept for Fires, Joint Concept for Command and Control, Joint Concept for Contested Logistics, and Joint Concept for Information Advantage. | Activity (R-2A) | FY2025 | FY2026 | FY2027 | |---|---|---|---| | New Accomplishment/Planned Program Entry | 2.9 | 0.0 | 0.0 | > R-2A activities carry the prior, current and budget year only — no five-year plan.

Services, Agencies, and other participating organizations are to identify "best of breed" capabilities developed among the DoD prototyping programs, and execute approved projects through large-scale experiments in order to refine and/or validate the Joint Warfighting Concept (JWC). MATADOR-PRJ 2802- Improved software will be transitioned to current Relocatable Other The Horizon Radar (ROTHR) Program Office to operate the improved MASOR system. JAW Breaker- PRJ 6002- Aligns to the Tactical Edge Targeting (TET) program which is a Middle Tier Acquisition (MTA) Rapid Prototyping program within the Program Executive Office (PEO) Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence (C4I) and Space Systems. JAW BREAKER will support the development and integration of a new capability, and the refinement of Concepts of Operations, to enhance the ability of our warfighters to track and target adversaries in tactically challenging environments. ## Related program elements - [0102417F — Over-the-Horizon Backscatter Radar](https://hitchintel.com/programs/0102417F) (Air Force) - [0601153N — Defense Research Sciences](https://hitchintel.com/programs/0601153N) (Navy) - [0207325F — JASSM Extended Range (JASSM-ER)](https://hitchintel.com/programs/0207325F) (Air Force) - [0605052A — Indirect Fire Protection Capability Inc 2 - Block 1](https://hitchintel.com/programs/0605052A) (Army) ## Source & machine access - **Source:** FY2027 Department of the Navy RDT&E Budget Justification, Exhibits R-2/R-3, PE 0604030N (PB PB2027); FY2027 NDAA committee marks (as of 2026-07-27). - **MCP:** `mcp.hitchintel.com` — `budget_get_program_element(pe="0604030N")`. *HitchAI is an independent intelligence service, not affiliated with the U.S. Department of Defense.
