What project 3323 buys

Maritime Tactical Command and Control (MTC2) is a next generation Command and Control (C2) software program that will deliver Battle Management Aids (BMA) and Maritime Planning Tools (MPT) to dynamically plan, direct, monitor, and assess maritime operations in support of Joint, Multi-Service, and Coalition Force planning. MTC2 leverages a System of Services to deliver capabilities improving decision speed and dynamic synchronization of forces. BMAs / MPTs are small, capability-focused deliveries that can be rapidly developed, tested, and fielded. MTC2 leverages Science and Technology (S&T) investments and engages with the Navy Capability Requirements Council (CRC) to define and prioritize the BMAs and MPTs that MTC2 will deliver and align to the Program Executive Office (PEO) Command, Control, Communications, computers and Intelligence (C4I) enterprise architecture (Consolidated Afloat Network Enterprise Service (CANES), Agile Core Services (ACS)) for fielding to all echelons of command (Afloat and Ashore) within the Navy. The program's objective is to provide a suite of maritime applications (BMAs / MPTs) that enable planning, execution, monitoring, and assessment in support of operational, strategic, and tactical level of war requirements. MTC2 fields BMAs / MPTs designed to provide automated and structured support for tactical and operational planning, decision-making, and execution. As a software only program that leverages enterprise infrastructure, MTC2 provides new and improved capabilities to include improved browser enabled map, Scheme of Maneuver (SOM), Schedule of Events (SOE), and Operations Report 5 (OPREP5) visualizations that enables the warfighter to associate tracks to relevant data, past and predicted movements, ingest Meteorology and Oceanography information, and operational overlays. MTC2's updated architecture will enable future composable C2 capabilities to respond with a more rapid pace in changes in threats and technology. MTC2 is the Navy's solution to Global Force Management - Data Initiative (GFM-DI) which is Department of War (DoW) -wide enterprise solution that enables visibility/accessibility/sharing of data applicable to the entire DoW force structure.

Funding trajectory

Project 3323 funding, FY2025–FY2031

Prior years are actuals, the budget year is the request, and the outyears are the FYDP plan. Estimate types are colored and never summed into one figure. Projects carry the full five-year plan; the activities inside them stop at the budget year.

2 accomplishments / planned programs

The R-2A exhibit — the only level of the budget that describes work that has not happened yet. Activities carry the prior, current and budget year only, no five-year plan. 1 of them describes FY2027 work in enough detail to have its own page; the rest are shown here in full. Coverage is partial across the corpus, so count activities, never total them.

FY2025 actual$8.4M
FY2026 enacted$10.8M
FY2027 request$19.9M

FY 2027 funding will provide continued execution under the Software Acquisition Pathway (SWP) and will continue iterative development of MTC2 software based on the SWP Capability Needs Statement (CNS). MTC2 will continue to field Ashore/Afloat. MTC2 will continue to receive feedback from fleet users for development, integration, and…

Maritime Tactical Command and Control (MTC2) Sustainment▲ 216%
FY2025 actual$1.8M
FY2026 enacted$1.7M
FY2027 request$5.4M

FY2027 planned work FY 2027 sustainment activities will include evolutionary acquisition and program management support, training and training events, help desk, installation, planning & design activities, software licenses, and sustainment of MTC2 PoR releases. This sustainment includes the MTC2's Tactical Planning Tool (TPT), which directly supports the Collaborative IAMD Planning Program (CIPP) which provided provides collaborative cyclic planning in support of Carrier Strike Group Operations supporting Distributed Maritime Operations (DMO) ?and is the Navy's only multi-baseline / multi-ship IAMD Planner.

FY2026 to FY2027 change FY 2026 to FY 2027 increase in the amount of $3.677M to support MTC2's Tactical Planning Tool (TPT) sustainment, that directly supports the Collaborative IAMD Planning Program (CIPP) and provides collaborative cyclic planning in support of Carrier Strike Group Operations supporting Distributed Maritime Operations (DMO) and is the Navy's only multi-baseline / multi-ship Integrated Air and Missile Defense (IAMD) Planner.

FY2026 plans — current year FY 2026 sustainment activities includes evolutionary acquisition and program management support, training and training events, help desk, installation, planning & design activities, software licenses, and sustainment of MTC2 PoR releases.

Named performers on project 3323

Performers named in the R-3 exhibit under this project. Share is of the project's whole FY2027 R-3 total — the same denominator the program-element split uses, so the two read on one scale and will not sum to 100% when unnamed or government work is in the mix. Budget-justification contract funding, not obligations.
