## Summary

This activity requests $19.7M in FY2027, 100% of project 758, up 164% on FY2026. The R-2A exhibit describes it across FY2025–FY2027, including what the FY2027 money is planned to buy.

## What the FY2027 request buys

**FY2027 planned work.** 1. Expansion of Joint Training Tool (JTT) Capabilities Objective: Continue enhancing the JTT to meet evolving user needs and operational requirements. • Expand functionality to support additional Combatant Command (CCMD) use cases. • Integrate advanced terrain modeling and dynamic threat data updates to reflect real-time operational environments. • Enhance user experience by incorporating feedback from the Combatant Command, Service, and Agency (C/S/A) user community. 2. Advanced Data Integration and Analytics Objective: Leverage AI/ML to improve data-driven decision-making and training assessments. • Expand integration of authoritative data sources, including real-time operational data feeds and predictive analytics. • Develop new simulation models to reflect emerging threats, technologies, and operational concepts. • Enhance fidelity and scalability of JLVC simulations to support larger and more complex training exercises. • Conduct annual reviews and updates to ensure JLVC simulations meet current and future operational requirements. 3. Joint Live, Virtual, and Constructive (JLVC) Simulation Objective: Ensure JLVC simulations remain aligned with the evolving operational environment. • Integrate new simulation models to reflect emerging threats, technologies, and operational concepts. • Enhance fidelity and scalability of JLVC simulations to support larger and more complex training exercises. • Conduct annual integration event, reviews and updates to ensure JLVC simulations meet current and future operational requirements. 4. Infrastructure and Cybersecurity Enhancements Objective: Sustain and modernize the Joint Operational Training infrastructure while ensuring cybersecurity compliance. • Upgrade infrastructure to support increased data processing and storage requirements. • Implement advanced cybersecurity measures to protect training systems and data from emerging threats. • Conduct regular audits and lifecycle maintenance to ensure reliability and security of JNTC systems.

**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 758 is $18.000M. The program's increase supports integration of AI technologies into the JLVC federation to support DOW's Joint Training Infrastructure and M&S capabilities.

## Before the request year

**FY2026 plans — current year.** 1. The JTT will continue to improve and enhance existing capabilities to expand functionality and user experience for the C/S/A user community. The JTT will also integrate authoritative data sources to include terrain, key infrastructure, capability/readiness for US and ally nation forces, and threat data (forces, platforms, etc.). 2. The Joint Training Platform will integrate modern data management and analytical capabilities (AI/ML) to enable the ability to query data, make connections across systems, inform decisions, and conduct assessments of Joint training events. 3. The JTT will develop simulation and white cell capabilities and integrate AAR capabilities within the Joint Training Platform to align JTT with the JLVC and connect data across all phases of the JTS. Continue to develop additional capability within planned persistent simulation service of web-enabled, modular JTT and test against first CCMD use-cases. 4. Continue to enhance Joint simulation advancement (within JLVC) to keep pace with operational environment changes (annual requirement). 5. Continue to support the Joint Operation Training infrastructure goals (annual requirement).
