Tactical DCO-I
TDI is a software only program that pre-configures DCO applications to allow local and remote Cyber defenders the ability to conduct cyberspace surveillance and maneuver against an adversary traversing within the tactical network. The TDI capability includes: 1) Mission Protection: Ability to automate deployment of DCO tools to protect the virtual server environment of the Command Post Computing Environment. 2) Discovery/Counter-Infiltration: Ability to auto detect multiple virtual cyber threats and facilitate the mitigation/denial of adversarial actions. 3) Cyberspace Support/Readiness: Allow global and regional cyberspace defenders to assist units with countering advanced persistent threats. TDI follows a five-year, Information Technology (IT) Box construct to deliver capability over time, based on approved requirements. In IT Box (FY 2023-2027), TDI will develop Capability Releases (CR) (CR 1 - CR 12) to implement TDI software change activities and updates to provide value to Brigades to ASCCs. CR 1 collated and aggregated TDI data from various echelons and presented it into rolled-up status dashboards reflecting various roles and responsibilities. CR 2 integrated Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response and with Big Data Platform to initiate alignment with the Army's tactical data fabric efforts. CR 3 and CR 4 leveraged Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning models generated from BDP and implemented it at the tactical edge. CR 5 and CR 6 supported capabilities and technologies to address emerging cyber threats and techniques, tactics, and procedures. FY 2027 funding in the amount of $3.519 million provides for the software enhancements and maintenance/patching of the TDI software to ensure continued operability and security posture.

FY2026 to FY2027 change Decrease due to economic assumptions.
FY2026 plans — current year FY 2026 funding supports the completion of development engineering and integration of CR 7, CR 8, and CR 9 including development engineering to collate and aggregate TDI data from various echelons; convergence with Tactical Data Fabric to align with Army Data Strategies, and implement Security Operations, Automated Response. This will include updated security artifacts needed to process the Security Impact Assessment and maintain an Authority to Operate.
FY2025 accomplishments FY 2025 funding supports the completion of development engineering and integration of CR 2, including development engineering to collate and aggregate TDI data from various echelons; convergence with Tactical Data Fabric to align with Army Data Strategies, and implement Security Operations, Automated Response (SOAR). This will include updated security artifacts needed to process the Security Impact Assessment and maintain an Authority to Operate. In addition, development and integration efforts will begin for CR 3.
