> **NEW START.** $220.3M requested in FY2027 with no prior-year and no current-year funding.

## Summary

This activity requests $220.3M in FY2027, 89% of project C2E — a new start with no prior-year and no current-year money. The R-2A exhibit describes it across FY2027, including what the FY2027 money is planned to buy.

## What the FY2027 request buys

**FY2027 planned work.** FY 27 funds CI/CD of the Data capability. It will mature CI/CD processes to integrate emerging technology and scaled capability via algorithms, sensor data, legacy capabilities into the data layer baseline and award contract(s) to deploy the Data Layer capability across the Army. Additionally, it will continue analysis of commercial capabilities, evaluating their suitability and potential for inclusion in the NGC2 Data layer and compatibility with the NGC2 ecosystem. Team lead vendors will integrate viable capabilities into the data layer, ensuring the latest technology is available for use by Warfighters.

**FY2026 to FY2027 change.** FY 2027 increase due to project established under a new funding structure to support NGC2 Data Layer efforts. Increase from prior funded year due to integration/deployment of additional data layer capabilities across the Army and the intent to accelerate deployment timelines.

## Funding

| Fiscal Year | Estimate Type | Amount ($M) |
|---|---|---|
| FY2027 | Request | 220.3 |
