## Summary

This activity requests $31.3M in FY2027, 100% of project A5B, down 6.0% on FY2026. The R-2A exhibit describes it across FY2026–FY2027, including what the FY2027 money is planned to buy.

## What the FY2027 request buys

**FY2027 planned work.** Funding enhances the UVC software by adding new features, enabling control of additional types of aircraft, and maturing common control hosts, including manned aircraft and other mission command platforms and integrates additional Small UAS aircraft and Launched Effects variants.

**FY2026 to FY2027 change.** The decrease from FY2026 to FY2027 is due to a shift from platform integration to NGC2 integration.

## Before the request year

**FY2026 plans — current year.** SCI develops the Minimum Viable Product (MVP) and Minimum Viable Capability Release (MVCR) to support Launched Effects utilizing funding to continue developing, testing, and integrating SCI capabilities hosted on Mission Command, uncrewed aircraft, and manned aircraft command and control devices.

## Funding

| Fiscal Year | Estimate Type | Amount ($M) |
|---|---|---|
| FY2026 | Enacted | 33.3 |
| FY2027 | Request | 31.3 |
