What project 2558 buys
F-35 Combat Data Systems (CDS) Program Management Office mission includes investment and modernization activities required for Block 4 development, integration, test and evaluation of Mission Data Hardware/Tools, Reprogramming Verification & Validation Systems (RVVS), and Mission Planning Software/Hardware, which includes the Next Generation Open Mission System (NOMS). Funding related to key deliveries to Electronic Warfare Squadrons and F-35 Operational Squadrons and enables government and contractor labor for mission planning and joint reprogramming enterprise. Other costs support Technology Investment for key Modernization / Innovation activities and Cloud-based DevSecOps infrastructure. Funding allocations at the project level have historically been subject to change due to the complexity of the F-35 budget structure and cost share ratios. The program will ensure any within-PE adjustments during execution year are reflected in future budget submissions. The FY2027 request for Combat Data Systems includes $20,001 thousand of discretionary funding and $9,500 thousand of mandatory (reconciliation) funding for Block 4 capability development.

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. 1 of them describes FY2027 work in enough detail to have its own page; the rest are shown here in full. Coverage is partial across the corpus, so count activities, never total them.

Named performers on project 2558
Performers named in the R-3 exhibit under this project. Share is of the project's whole FY2027 R-3 total — the same denominator the program-element split uses, so the two read on one scale and will not sum to 100% when unnamed or government work is in the mix. Budget-justification contract funding, not obligations.
