What project C2A buys
Project C2A FY2027 funding supports two (2) distinct lines of effort: Protected SATCOM Resilient Anti-Jam Modem (RAM) Development and Unified Network Technology Transition and Integration (UNTTI). Protected SATCOM provides funding for continued Resilient Anti-Jam Modem (RAM) development, testing and certification of production representative modems, incorporating Army requirements, to support continued spiral development of critical protected communications capabilities to address resiliency in jamming environments. RAM provides the ability for Army tactical terminals to be resilient in a contested environment and protect against catastrophic loss of situational awareness and command and control during critical battle movement with Anti-Jam capabilities. RAM will provide on the move and early entry satellite terminals with adaptive, anti-jam communications for the highest levels of protected communications in multi domain operations and offer the tactical Army protection against interference that is either intentional or unintentional. Satellite and Network Modernization funding supports Unified Network Technology Transition and Integration (UNTTI) an RDT&E initiative enabling transport agnostic, high-capacity and resilient tactical communications for expeditionary operations. These efforts support system/subsystem development and demonstration, aimed at integration, maturation, evaluation, and testing to demonstrate systems against requirements. TEM Projects, Line of Sight Modernization, SATCOM Modernization, Transport Modernization, Secure Cellular, Next Generation Tactical Terminal (NGTT), and System of Systems (SoS) Training. These technologies support new and improved communications capabilities with reduced Size, Weight, and Power (SWAP), while increasing throughput, providing network resiliency and Low Probability of Intercept/Low Probability of Detection (LPI/LPD) capabilities. Satellite and Network Modernization procures, modifies, integrates, and tests system prototypes to demonstrate enhanced capabilities in accordance with Army modernization priorities.

Project C2A funding, FY2027–FY2031
Prior years are actuals, the budget year is the request, and the outyears are the FYDP plan. Estimate types are colored and never summed into one figure. Projects carry the full five-year plan; the activities inside them stop at the budget year.
| Fiscal Year | Estimate Type | Amount ($M) |
|---|---|---|
| FY2027 | Request | 20.3 |
| FY2028 | Outyear | 17.8 |
| FY2029 | Outyear | 15.4 |
| FY2030 | Outyear | 15.4 |
| FY2031 | Outyear | 15.6 |
2 accomplishments / planned programs
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.
Funds will be used for prototype development and modification of emerging technology in transport modernization terminal and network efficiency, along with integration and testing of modernized solutions. Funds evaluation of hardware form factor variants, supports integration and testing with various Army platforms and associated program…
Read the FY2027 plan →FY2027 planned work FY2027 funds support RAM development, preparation of efforts to support Milestone C and add enduring modernization efforts that continue system development with pursuit to reduce tech debt proactively and integrate new technologies for relevancy over time and ensuring systems remain efficient, secure, and a capable of meeting evolving requirements and emerging threats.
FY2026 to FY2027 change Funds realigned in FY2027 from 0303142A CO7/Protected Tactical Satellite Communications to C2A Satellite and Network Modernization under 0605330A / C2 Transport.
Named performers on project C2A
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.
