## Summary

This activity requests $48.5M in FY2027, 100% of project 3783, up 994% 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.** Information War Room (IWR) Division - Initiate development and integration of software and hardware prototypes to fuse Information Operations (IO), Electronic Warfare (EW), Command and Control (C2), and Cyber capabilities into a unified warfighter-focused toolset. -Conduct technical feasibility studies and systems engineering efforts to define the architecture for a converged information warfare system. - Procure and deliver Project DYNAMIS Mission Command Package (MCP) kits to Marine Corps Tactical Systems Support Activity (MCTSSA) and designated operational units for technical assessment and Field User Evaluations (FUEs). -Analyze FUE results to inform design modifications and finalize the technical data package for follow-on development. - Complete the final development and integration of the Maven Smart System (MSS) AI/ML capability for deployment to operational test units. - Conduct developmental testing on the MSS to validate performance against technical specifications. - Deliver MSS prototypes to designated operational units for FUEs to assess military utility in processing intelligence data and identifying threats. - Develop and integrate a prototype Joint Fires Network (JFN) Tactical Edge Node designed for employment by distributed stand-in forces. - Conduct rigorous FUEs in a simulated INDOPACOM environment to validate the prototype's ability to connect to the joint fires network and pass targeting data. - Evaluate the technical performance and suitability of the prototype to support long-range precision fires and kill chain closure. Service Data Office (SDO) - Develop simulated data environments to support the test and evaluation of emerging data management and Artificial Intelligence concepts and solutions -Test data architectures, serverless infrastructure, and infrastructure-as-code. - Assess agentic Ais potential for automating data-centric workflows and business processes. - Develop and evaluate serverless infrastructure and "infrastructure as code" capabilities for agile and scalable data environments.

**FY2026 to FY2027 change.** Increase reflects the acceleration of the Marine Corps' contribution to CJADC2, in partnership with the Navy's Project Overmatch. This increase will enable the identification and integration of advanced commercial technologies and AI/ML capabilities to address critical warfighting gaps in assured C2 and battlespace awareness, as well as enhance data management technologies, develop serverless cloud infrastructure, and apply AI to automate critical workflows.

## Before the request year

**FY2026 plans — current year.** Information War Room (IWR) Division - Continued to conduct innovation activities across the information domain to develop user centered capabilities for the future operating environment. - Continued to focus on the Information Warfare capabilities within the Deputy Commandant for Information portfolio. This includes Information Operations, Electronic Warfare, Tactical Command and Control, and Cyber Operations. - Continued rapid development of capabilities to address problems supporting Information Operations. The Marine Corps Information Environment Enterprise (MCIEE) Information Modernization team will develop and transition software and hardware solutions to Programs of Record. - This funding also supports MCIEE efforts that align to Joint priorities for the Marine Corps, and the CMC's Force Design 2030. - Trained and conducted Field User Evaluation (FUEs) for the MAGTF C2 Prototype (MCP) capability kits for Project DYNAMIS, the USMC contribution to Navy Overmatch and Combined Joint All Domain Command and Control (CJADC2)
