What project 701 buys
Air Force JNTC funding provides a focused upgrade to develop models for employment of cyber and 5th generation capabilities for integration into the Joint Live, Virtual, and Constructive (JLVC) environment as well as supporting development of cross-domain solutions. Additionally, the Air Force invests in development of capabilities to enhance the rigor and fidelity of training for live and virtual members of joint training audiences.
Project 701 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.

|---|---|---|
| FY2025 | Actual | 3.2 |
| FY2026 | Enacted | 18.0 |
| FY2027 | Request | 4.9 |
| FY2028 | Outyear | 5.6 |
| FY2029 | Outyear | 5.6 |
| FY2030 | Outyear | 5.6 |

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. Coverage is partial across the corpus, so count activities, never total them.
FY2027 planned work 1. Continue to develop capabilities for live Opposing Force (OPFOR) surface-to-air threats to engage virtual as well as live Blue Force (BLUFOR) aircraft. 2. Sustain development of and enhance new capabilities for integration of the cyber simulator environment generator and "blue" cyber effects simulation. Further develop the capabilities of the Joint Electric Power Range (JEPR) to ensure the Joint community has access to a high-fidelity, configurable, targetable electrical power distribution grids in order to support training for Joint ISR analysts, EW systems, cyber operators and campaign planners while enhancing infrastructure attack capabilities and defensive measures. 3. Sustain…
FY2026 to FY2027 change Due to data entry error, the FY 2026 amounts for projects 701 and 758 are reversed. The correct FY 2026 amount for project 701 is $7.445M. Funding adjustment supporting continued development of advanced models for use in joint exercises and tactical training including unmanned systems.
