## Summary

This activity requests $32.7M in FY2027, 97% of project 984, up 30% on FY2026. The R-2A exhibit describes it across FY2025–FY2027, including what the FY2027 money is planned to buy.

## What the FY2027 request buys

**FY2027 planned work.** The Test Enterprise Network Modernization effort will continue in the engineering and manufacturing phase as an enterprise modernizing approach to the network infrastructure at the test ranges. FY 2027 funds in the amount of $33,332 Million will meet the Army Test & Evaluation command requirement to standardize, expand and improve the network (fiber and wireless) that allows modern monitoring, tracking, and troubleshooting of network issues and failure points. Test Centers with high customer demands, such as White Sands Test Center and Yuma Test Center will also be receiving fiber optic network Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) upgrades to address end of life equipment issues. Funds will also be used to continue the acquisition and installation of hardware needed to revitalize and replace the fiber network at ATC, EPG, and YTC. This improved infrastructure will provide large data movement and after-action reviews during Cross Functional Team tests such as Future Vertical Lift and Next Generation Constructive.

**FY2026 to FY2027 change.** Increase due to requirement changes by the test centers and a consolidation of efforts under the TENM umbrella.

## Before the request year

**FY2026 plans — current year.** The Test Enterprise Network Modernization effort will continue in the engineering and manufacturing phase as an enterprise modernizing approach to the network infrastructure at the test ranges. FY 2026 funds in the amount of $25.230 Million will meet the Army Test & Evaluation command requirement to standardize, expand and improve the network (fiber and wireless) that allows modern monitoring, tracking, and troubleshooting of network issues and failure points. Test Centers with high customer demands, such as White Sands Test Center and Yuma Test Center will also be receiving fiber optic network Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) upgrades to address end of life equipment issues. Funds will also be used to continue the acquisition and installation of hardware needed to revitalize and replace the fiber network at ATC, EPG, and YTC. This improved infrastructure will provide large data movement and after-action reviews during Cross Functional Team tests such as Future Vertical Lift and Next Generation Constructive.

**FY2025 accomplishments.** The Test Enterprise Network Modernization effort will continue in the engineering and manufacturing phase as an enterprise modernizing approach to the network infrastructure at the test ranges. FY 2025 funds in the amount of $15.602 Million will continue the standardization of the network that allows modern monitoring, tracking, and troubleshooting of network issues and failure points. Test Centers with high customer demands, such as White Sands Test Center and Yuma Test Center will also be receiving fiber optic network Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) upgrades to address end of life equipment issues. Funds will also be used to continue the acquisition and installation of hardware needed to revitalize and replace the fiber network at ATC, EPG, and YTC.
