## Summary

This activity requests $36.0M in FY2027, 63% of project 674137, up 39% 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.** Delta-V will continue to build upon developmental capabilities initiated in prior years such as the Cloud-based Infrastructure, Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) platform, software development and test environments, Zero Trust pilot program and work to mature agile and DevSecOps processes across LTRS. Delta-V will also continue multiple Spaceport agile software projects and prototypes, virtualization of legacy LTRS hardware, development of spaceport data infrastructure including an accessible common data layer and expansion of spaceport situational awareness tools. Delta-V will utilize CI/CD platforms and processes to provide engineering solutions, test, and deliver enhanced operational systems to meet evolving technological requirements and Spaceport of the Future guidance on National launch capacity and cadence requirements. FY27 plans include a Minimum Viable Capability Release for planning launch operations with Launch Service Providers and Minimum Viable Products of Off-Premises IL-6 cloud capability and hybrid cloud offerings to Western Range. Rapidly respond to implement system resiliency and situational awareness necessary to operate in the contested space domain. Activities may include, but are not limited to program office support, studies, technical analysis, experimentation, risk reduction, prototyping, and activities that may leverage commercial, U.S. Government partnership, and international opportunities to respond to existing and emerging adversarial threats with speed and agility.

**FY2026 to FY2027 change.** The FY27 funding increased due to increased support for data architecture and optimization.

## Before the request year

**FY2026 plans — current year.** Delta-V will continue to build upon developmental capabilities initiated in FY25 such as the Cloud-based Infrastructure, Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) platform, SW development and test environments, Zero Trust pilot program, Spaceport agile software projects and prototypes and mature DevSecOps processes and virtualize legacy LTRS hardware. New efforts in FY26 will include initial development of spaceport data infrastructure and expansion of spaceport situational awareness tools. Delta-V will utilize CI/CD platforms and processes to provide engineering solutions, test, and deliver enhanced operational systems to meet evolving technological requirements and Spaceport of the Future guidance on National launch capacity and cadence requirements. Key capability deliveries planned for FY26 include Planning and Scheduling subsystem Enterprise cloud hosted dashboard updates that track and display key metrics related to real-time range asset usage, health and readiness and a Day of Launch operations training environment. The Range Safety subsystem will see the first MVP of a Cloud Platform hosted version of a critical legacy safety capability.
