## Summary

This activity requests $10.2M in FY2027, 13% of project DJ9 — a restart, funded in FY2025 and zeroed in 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.** - Support Increment 1 Capability delivery in CY 2027 - Monitor, coordinate, and synchronize program execution for the GDS components and inform Senior Leaders - Identify, track, and manage risks that could impact interoperability and planned delivery schedules - Continue integration efforts of a system-of-systems integrated defense plan, shared sensor measurement data, and dynamic and consistent threat evaluation - Monitor planned test events and developmental progression for GDS components - Continue development of a system of systems cyber strategy to meet incremental capability deliveries.

**FY2026 to FY2027 change.** The FY 2027 funding increase is the result of no funding in the FY 2026 RDTE base budget.

## Before the request year

**FY2025 accomplishments.** - Full staffing of the JPO - Integration, coordination, and synchronization efforts of the Guam Defense System across INDOPACOM, Joint Staff, OSD, US Army, US Navy, US Air Force, and MDA - Deliver acquisition reporting requirements
