## What project 3363 buys

China Strategic Initiative (CSI) became a DoW RDTE program in FY 2014. The CSI program is U.S. Indo-Pacific Command's (INDOPACOM) first Asia Rebalance initiative and provides critical support to planning efforts across the Command addressing Secretary of Defense's # 1 priority. CSI is a command-directed program that provides the Commander, INDOPACOM, and his staff vital support at all levels of planning and decision-making within the INDOPACOM Area Of Responsibility. The CSI program provides: cutting-edge research on adversary approaches to warfare, monitoring and analysis of adversary social media and censorship, unique understanding of effects of U.S. actions at the strategic and operational levels, sponsorship of Track 1.5/2 Strategic Nuclear Dialogue with China, etc. This funding is for a classified effort and details can be provided at a higher classification level. Pacific Multi-Domain Training and Experimentation Capability (PMTEC) is foundational to meeting Commander, USINDOPACOM's high-end warfighting capability, theater force posture, and Ally & Partner (A&P) objectives through the execution of joint experimentation in the Indo-Pacific. The innovative combinations of new technology, capability, and CONOPS in Joint Exercises will enable integration, warfighting assessment, and rapid capability development. PMTEC is the joint synchronizer and integrator by bringing together OSW, Service RDT&E, other government agencies, industry, and academia with Combatant Commands, Service Components, warfighting units, and A&Ps to expedite experimentations of R&D projects/prototypes and to facilitate more rapid modernization and interoperability. The Joint Experimentation Program (JExP) is a theater-wide campaign of joint experiments to inform and strengthen the ability of joint and combined forces to execute all-domain operations in contested environments. JExP is focused on both what the U.S. and allies can do to protect partners subjected to military aggression, and also what those partners can do to defend themselves against said aggression. To determine the readiness of developmental systems to operate within the contested environment, JExP consists of three experimentation categories/pillars: a. Joint Experimentation within Exercises b. Stand-alone Experimentation c.

### Pacific Multi-Domain Training and Experimentation Capability (PMTEC)

**FY2027 planned work.** FY 2027 funding continues to support the physical and virtual infrastructure in the INDOPACOM PACIFIC Multi-Domain Training and Experimentations Capability (PMTEC). This includes critical support to enhance Missile Defense Agency Integrated Air Missile Defense (IAMD) Tactical System Integration Labo (TSIL) Support. Missile Defense Agency will provide INDOPACOM with INTEGRATED AIR MISSILE DEFENSE SPECIFIC SIMULATION SOFTWARE TO SUPPORT IAMD and other select vignettes during Joint Exercises within the USINDOPACOM Joint Exercise Program. This software enhances the live Virtual and Constructive (LVC) environment across ground, maritime and air domains for a realistic and challenging scenario and vignettes. It also supports networks and nodes, facility improvements to enable advanced joint and partner interoperability, and links to distributed resources leveraged from continental U.S. ranges and assets.

**FY2026 to FY2027 change.** Decrease reflects realignment of JFN integration to PE 0604027N.

**FY2026 plans — current year.** FY 2026 funding continues to support the physical and virtual infrastructure in the INDOPACOM PACIFIC Multi-Domain Training and Experimentations Capability (PMTEC).

### INDOPACOM Initiative

**FY2026 to FY2027 change.** Decrease reflects a reduction in research, analysis, and strategic insights.
