## Summary

This activity requests $13.6M in FY2027, 100% of project 3241, up 192% on FY2026. The R-2A exhibit describes it across FY2026–FY2027, including what the FY2027 money is planned to buy.

## What the FY2027 request buys

**FY2027 planned work.** Navy Shore C-UxS systems need to continue to evolve due to the rapidly evolving UAS capability, to reduce operator burden, and to increase interoperability of fixed facility Navy sites with joint C-UxS systems and with C-UxS systems on Navy ships.

**FY2026 to FY2027 change.** The program reflects a increase from FY26 to FY27 due to the support for testing of material solutions and the integration of networking capabilities essential for system evaluation and performance validation.

## Before the request year

**FY2026 plans — current year.** Continues to provide funding for refinement of material solutions, threat assessments, identification and development of advanced target discrimination, defeat (kinetic and non-kinetic) capabilities, and integration into the C-sUAS FoS. Provide management and technical support for the C-sUAS System Under Test (SUT). Initiate system assessment. In partnership with the Joint C-sUAS Office (JCO), identify or develop additional detect and deter capabilities to integrate into the C-sUAS FoS. As the JCO designated CORIAN Acquisition Lead, continue development, implementation and integration of additional sensor modalities to improve system detect/ID/track/defeat capabilities. Continue efforts to improve interoperability between ashore and afloat C-sUAS systems. Funding provides for continued development of data fusion architecture for external sensor integration into a C-sUAS common Command and Control (C2). Provide systems engineering support for the technology development and acquisition strategy for fielding material solutions.
