## Summary

This activity requests $23.2M in FY2027, 8.0% of project CF6, down 15% on 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.** Provides Government System Engineering & Program Management Support for Phase 4, Prototype Build and Test, Transformation in Contact (TiC) support for two vendors and the XM30 Software Pathway initiative. The associated costs represent Research, Development, Test, and Evaluation (RDT&E) funding allocated to Matrix support within the program management office. This includes leveraging Systems Engineering and Technical Assistance (SETA) support to address critical aspects of the XM30's open-architecture design, such as cybersecurity, software development, and system architecture. The funding encompasses expenses related to government and direct support contractor labor, travel, training, supplies, equipment, and facilities necessary to effectively manage all aspects of the PM XM30 program. Additionally, this effort supports the continuation of consulting services for the development of the Phase 5 Request for Proposal (RFP) and ensures compliance with statutory requirements for milestone reviews.

**FY2026 to FY2027 change.** The decrease from FY 2026 to FY 2027 reflects reduced requirements for Government management of contractor design activities as the program completes prototype build and enters Test and Evaluation.

## Before the request year

**FY2026 plans — current year.** Provides Government System Engineering & Program Management Support for Phase 4, Prototype Build and Test, Transformation in Contact (TiC) support for two vendors and the XM30 Software Pathway initiative. The associated costs represent Research, Development, Test, and Evaluation (RDT&E) funding allocated to Matrix support within the program management office. This includes leveraging Systems Engineering and Technical Assistance (SETA) support to address critical aspects of the XM30's open-architecture design, such as cybersecurity, software development, and system architecture. The funding encompasses expenses related to government and direct support contractor labor, travel, training, supplies, equipment, and facilities necessary to effectively manage all aspects of the PM XM30 program. Additionally, this effort supports the continuation of consulting services for the development of the Phase 5 Request for Proposal (RFP) and ensures compliance with statutory requirements for milestone reviews.

**FY2025 accomplishments.** Provides Government System Engineering & Program Management Support and funds the efforts to the management support requirements pre and post award of Detailed Design contracts for 2 vendors. These costs reflect the RDT&E funded costs for Matrix support within the program management office and includes the use of System Engineering & Technical Assistance (SETA) support in critical areas of the design of an open-architected XM30 including cyber security, software development and system architecture. This funding will include the cost of government and direct support contractor labor, travel, training, supplies, equipment and facilities to effectively manage the PM XM30 program. Continue consulting effort for Phase 5 RFP development and Milestone statutory compliance.
