Project 673944 — meshONE-T (M1T) requests $55.9M in FY2027, 34% of the $165.0M requested for program element 1203156SF — a new start, with no prior-year and no current-year money. 1 R-2A activity decomposes the request, 1 new this cycle. sev1Tech is the largest named R-3 performer at $43.0M, 77% of the project's FY2027 R-3 total.

New start

This project requests $55.9M in FY2027 with no prior-year and no current-year funding. There is no incumbent line to compare it with — it did not exist before this President's Budget.

What project 673944 buys

This is not a new start. In FY 2027, Cyber Secure Mission Data Transport, known as meshONE-Terrestrial or meshONE-T, efforts were transferred from PE 1203110SF, Satellite Control Network (SPACE), Project 673276, to PE 1203156SF, Data Transport & Networking, Project 673944, meshONE-T, in order to consolidate data transport and networking efforts to provide greater transparency and alignment of common functions. The meshONE-T (M1T) system provides an enterprise networking capability for USSF and other customers through proliferation of nodes utilizing diversified long-haul communication circuits to provide high speed, scalable, resilient, cyber-secure transport services for mission data producers and consumers. These services are operated and managed via Enterprise Service Desk (ESD) / Network Operation Center (NOC) sites. The multi-tenant, mission-agnostic system uses Commercial Off The Shelf (COTS)-based solutions and industry standard protocols to move data traffic quickly, efficiently, and securely across the Internet Protocol (IP)-based network architecture. M1T meets the needs of the Combatant Commands—with specific focus on USINDOPACOM and USEUCOM. Modern mission data transport services will support Next-Gen and Future Operationally Resilient Ground Evolution (FORGE) Overhead Persistent Infrared (OPIR), Advanced Battle Management System (ABMS), Missile Track Custody (MTC), Space Domain Awareness (SDA), SCN, USSF Integrated Operations Networking (ION), Launch and Test Range System (LTRS), and other mission partners. Supplementary/backup NOCs, communication links, bandwidth upgrades, and system improvements increase global operational reach, resiliency, and responsiveness to support warfighter operations through all phases of conflict. Software defined networking capabilities accelerate onboarding of new mission partners and the delivery of transport services, providing the agility necessary to counter emerging threats. M1T resolves current space mission network shortfalls including antiquated protocols, bandwidth constraints, lack of resiliency, cyber vulnerability, and excessive fielding times. All mission partners using M1T will become part of the USSF ground network enterprise, with access to every node and network-provided cyber-secure services.

1 accomplishment / planned program

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. Each 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.

Named performers on project 673944

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.
