## Summary

This activity requests $14.1M in FY2027, 30% of project 642611, up 5.5% 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.** -Conduct technical development and integration activities against relevant threat systems and technologies in preparation for operational requirements. This includes modeling, simulation, and analysis for DSO, OSO, SDA, and Battle Management Command, Control and Communications (BMC3) capabilities. The program supports updating these models with the current threat information for SDA and BMC3 capabilities in performing individual mission threads and campaign analysis. -Support requirements development of space enterprise kill chains integration, including the identification and assessment of risks and gaps in the current and future space control architecture. Provide engineering requirements and configuration management, including development of governance documents, change management, risk management, and engineering reviews. -Provide functional analysis support critical to determining requirements for the future space control architecture. -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.** FY 2027 funding increased due to inflation.

## Before the request year

**FY2026 plans — current year.** Conduct technical development and integration activities against relevant threat systems and technologies in preparation for operational requirements. This includes performing modeling, simulation, and analysis for DSO, OSO, SDA, and C2 capabilities using the Battle Management Kill Chain (BMKC) model and other models available (e.g., FFRDC Aerospace models). The program supports updating these models with the current threat information for SDA and C2 capabilities in performing individual mission threads and campaign analysis. Conduct systems engineering and mission architecture engineering activities to allow Space Force to link its individual space defense programs to define the enterprise-level system requirements supporting the Joint warfighter. Perform intelligence analysis and coordination to support the development of DSO, OSO, SDA, and C2 enterprise-level system requirements.
