# CEC INC II HW & SW INTEGRATION

**R-2A activity** of project 3240 — CEC Increment II  
**Program element:** 0607658N — Cooperative Engagement Capability  
**Component:** U.S. Navy · **Budget Activity:** 7  
**Vintage:** President's Budget PB2027

## Summary

This activity requests $15.0M in FY2027, 24% of project 3240, up 48% 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.** Continue CEC system hardware and software integration efforts. As incremental CEC Increment 2 software capabilities and system signal data processor and antenna technologies evolve, conduct the necessary integration efforts to meet requirements in the CEC Increment 2 CDD.

**FY2026 to FY2027 change.** Increase is due to end of CEC BLK II efforts and transition from CEC BLK II to BLK III efforts. Continued CEC software development and integration with modernized CEC system hardware is required to support increased CEC Increment II capabilities outlined in the CEC Increment II CDD as well as continued system hardware production and sustainment. This includes integration and testing of CEC BLK II and BLK III software with Engineering Development Models (EDM) for the CEC Signal Data Processor (SDP)-008 and Planar Array Antenna Assembly (PAAA)-Advanced.

## Before the request year

**FY2026 plans — current year.** Conduct CEC system hardware and software integration efforts. As incremental CEC Increment 2 software capabilities and system signal data processor and antenna technologies evolve, conduct the necessary integration efforts to meet requirements in the CEC Increment 2 CDD.
