## Summary

This activity requests $18.1M in FY2027, 86% of project EF5, up 28% 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.** Development funding will continue design, engineering, integration and test of planning and management application for the Tactical Radio network in support of the ANWf. Support to align with Army Network Modernization to enable Soldiers the ability to manage the entire consolidated tactical network in conjunction with Sailors, Marines, and Airmen. Continued development provides further integration of the Joint Service Networks and Network Management of its emerging systems to enable Soldiers the ability to effectively manage their networks. Radio planner development efforts seek to continue development of joint service waveform support as identified in the JNMSRT MOA. JNMS planning applications are deployed on and critically tied to the RAP-TR hardware from Division to the Company level.

**FY2026 to FY2027 change.** Increase in FY 2027 in support of new waveform development aligning to emerging joint service tactical network management requirements identified in accordance with (IAW) the JNMSRT MOA.

## Before the request year

**FY2026 plans — current year.** Development funding will continue design, engineering, integration and test of planning and management application for the Tactical Radio network in support of the Advanced Networking Waveforms (ANWf). Support to align with Army Network Modernization to provide further integration of the lower and mid-tier Network Management for the Unified Network (UN) to enable Soldiers the ability to manage the entire consolidated tactical network in conjunction with network elements managed by Sailors, Marines, and Airmen. Continued development provides further integration of the Joint Service Networks and Network Management of its emerging systems to enable Soldiers the ability to effectively manage their networks. Radio planner development efforts seek to continue development of joint service waveform support as identified in the Joint Network Management Software for Radio Terminals (JNMSRT) MOA. JNMS planning applications are deployed on and critically tied to the RAP-TR hardware from Division to the Company level.

**FY2025 accomplishments.** Development funding will continue design, engineering, integration and test of planning and management application for the Tactical Radio network. Support to align with Army Network Modernization to provide further integration of the lower and mid-tier Network Management for the Unified Network (UN) to enable Soldiers the ability to manage the entire consolidated tactical network in conjunction with network elements managed by Sailors, Marines, and Airmen. Development funding will also support completion of MUOS waveform planning simplification and rapid provisioning of MUOS end-user terminals for joint service requirements. JENM planning applications are deployed on, and critically tied to the RAP-TR hardware from Division to the Company level.
