### Project 0921 — NAVSTAR GPS Equipment

The funding increase of $4.688M from FY 2026 to FY 2027 is due to the commencement of LN-251M and ANAV-3M interim solution testing for E-2D, P-8, F/A-18E/F, and EA-18G platforms. Navigation Satellite Timing & Ranging (NAVSTAR) GPS project (0921) encompasses the Navy's efforts to pace the growing threat to GPS Navigation through the fielding of new GPS receivers, Anti-Jam (AJ) Antennas, and Assured Positioning Navigation and Timing (A-PNT) technologies across all Navy platform types. NAVSTAR GPS is a group of A-PNT systems that provides authorized users with secure, worldwide, all weather, three dimensional position, velocity, and precise time data. NAVSTAR GPS provides A-PNT capability to Command, Control, Communications, Computer, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (C4ISR) and combat systems in standalone and networked architectures throughout air and maritime domains. This project is comprised of four distinct efforts: Sea Navigation Warfare (NAVWAR), GPNTS, Air NAVWAR and GPS Modernization. Sea NAVWAR provides AJ antennas and Global Positioning System (GPS) - Based Positioning, Navigation and Timing (PNT) Service (GPNTS) provides GPS Receivers and A-PNT technology to surface platforms, and Air NAVWAR provides AJ antennas and GPS Modernization provides GPS receivers to air platforms. Research, Development, Testing and Evaluation (RDT&E) funding is used to perform all the non-recurring GPS related development, integration, and testing efforts for surface ships and aircraft in support of NAVSTAR GPS. The Air and Sea NAVWAR programs provide continued access to GPS information in a denied or impeded electronic environment. Development efforts for both programs provide improvements to various platform type antennas and ensure compatibility with the new GPS M-Code signal. The Air NAVWAR program continues integration efforts using GPS Antenna System (GAS-1), Advanced Digital Antenna Production (ADAP), and other AJ antennas on air platforms while investigating smaller AJ antennas for space constrained platforms and aircraft with unique requirements. The Sea NAVWAR program integrates AJ antennas onto surface and subsurface platforms. The Sea NAVWAR program will continue to research the viability and development of enhanced AJ techniques and technologies.

### Project 4011 — Naval Coastal Warfare Surv and C4I Sys

The Navy Expeditionary C4I project supports the Navy Expeditionary Combat Command (NECC) mission to detect, deter or interdict potential threats to DoN assets using agile, modular and scalable technology. NECC units have a number of current and future Command, Control, Communications, Computers & Intelligence (C4I) technological requirements for Tactical/Command Operations Center, tactical vehicles, combatant craft, and dismounted personnel. NECC operations require units to maintain effective command and control, develop and display a common tactical picture, and share intelligence and current operational information with higher headquarters, subordinate units, joint forces and coalition allies. Small, Medium, and Large Scale Communication Systems (LSCS) are the C4I hub for the Navy Expeditionary Combat Force (NECF); Expeditionary Deployable Node (EDN) is the latest converged LSCS baseline. Future C4I research and development includes implementation of The Expeditionary Deployable Node (EDN) and Navy Expeditionary Tactical Entry Points (NExTEP) at the Fleet Network Operations Centers (NOC), which supports the NECC Type Commander's (TYCOM) vision of a smaller footprint C2 system with reduced Fleet administration and patching requirements and a single domain and single user identity across all deployed systems. Future C4I research and development will enhance information transport, network cyber security posture, assured communications in denied environments along with agility and mobility. Funding is required for testing and evaluation of cyber security issues associated with obsolescence of network items and if not addressed will impact the ability of the Program Office to maintain system accreditation under Risk Management Framework (RMF) revoking multiple LSCS assets authority to connectivity on the Department of War Information Network (DoWIN). Efforts are in alignment with NECC's strategic Expeditionary Warfare Improvement Program (EXWIP) Capability Area Input (CAI) priorities and maintain alignment with greater DoW initiatives, such as Joint Information Environment (JIE), Mission Partner Environment (MPE) in order to maintain interoperability and drive down DoN enterprise costs.
