What project BT5 buys
Project BT5: Integrated Tactical Network/Enterprise Network in FY 2027 and beyond was realigned to PE 0605330A/C2 Transport, Project C2B, Radio Modernization as part of a new funding structure for the Next Generation Command and Control (NGC2) investment to modernize Command and Control (C2) systems for the Transport Layer. This line supports advanced component development activities that enable a Unified Network that operates seamlessly worldwide and in any environment. It includes the development of a standards-based network architecture that unifies enterprise and deployed network capabilities, and features a unified transport layer, network operations and other enabling functions that allows integration of disparate networks. The Army network will provide resiliency through path diversity and dynamic routing to ensure tactical units can communicate in hostile environments. It will provide multiple ways to communicate and give commanders the ability to have a network that delivers the right information and data at the right time during operations. It fully incorporates cyber and electronic warfare capabilities that support the employment of the network as a weapon system.

Project BT5 funding, FY2025–FY2026
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 | 25.9 |
| FY2026 | Enacted | 19.5 |

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. Coverage is partial across the corpus, so count activities, never total them.

FY2026 plans — current year Funds will be used to continue science and technology evaluation and prototyping solutions to support approved requirements documents and critical network modernization efforts to accelerate/integrate Next Generation Tactical radios, automated cyber defense tools, a modern security architecture, non-traditional waveforms, narrowband waveforms, and Line of Sight (LOS) and Beyond Line of Sight (BLOS) communications . Funding will allow the Army to identify and prototype solutions to mature the implementation of Automated Primary Alternate Contingency and Emergency (PACE) communications, network transport and gateway components of the Mission Partner Environment (MPE) and share network…
