### Project 650009 — Commercial Capability Integration

Commercial Capability integration funds Commercial Space Office (COMSO) efforts to deliver expedited, game-changing commercial capabilities to the warfighter. Primary efforts will identify commercial capabilities with viability to solve gaps in several USSF mission areas, implement commercial contracts to develop late-stage capabilities and integrate those capabilities into the USSF ecosystem, then present those commercial capabilities, products or services to operations. The near-term focus is to expand commercial integration in areas such as space sensing and multi-domain awareness; Space-Based Environmental Monitoring (SBEM); alternate forms of Positioning, Navigation and Timing (alternate PNT); Space Domain Awareness (SDA), and Space Access, Mobility and Logistics (SAML). Commercial Capability Integration efforts will encompass all USSF mission areas to identify and integrate commercial capabilities necessary to meet warfighter needs. This program element may include necessary civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver weapon system capability. The use of such program funds would be in addition to the civilian pay expenses budgeted in program element 0605827F, 0605828F, 0605829F, 0605831F, 0605832F, 0605833F, 0605898F, 0606398F, 0606392F. This requirement supports performance of a full financial audit as required by title 10 U.S.C. Chapter 9A, Sec 240-D.

### Project 650008 — Commercial Augmentation Space Reserve (CASR)

CASR is a contractually managed framework that ensures DoW has access to commercial space capabilities throughout the spectrum of conflict. CASR ensures that commercial capabilities, integrated during peacetime, can be leveraged throughout the spectrum of conflict and that they remain secure, reliable, and available to support the warfighter. This funding supports CASR baseline operating costs as well as threat sharing; wargaming/exercises; a CASR readiness and inspection program; and additional incentive structures. Near-term funding (FY 2027) supports participation of approximately 15 CASR companies. Specific surge capacity within CASR may include: Leveraging commercial capabilities already on orbit; augmenting existing USSF missions with added capacity (e.g., SATCOM); reach back into existing production lines to rapidly acquire satellites, payloads, and launch vehicles; denial of service over a region or to a certain customer set; and other potential concepts. Rapidly delivers impactful commercial solutions to the warfighter by identifying viable capabilities, implementing development contracts, and integrating them into the USSF ecosystem. This program element may include necessary civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver weapon system capability. The use of such program funds would be in addition to the civilian pay expenses budgeted in program element 0605827F, 0605828F, 0605829F, 0605831F, 0605832F, 0605833F, 0605898F, 0606398F, 0606392F. This requirement supports performance of a full financial audit as required by title 10 U.S.C. Chapter 9A, Sec 240-D.

## Mission & acquisition strategy

Commercial Services delivers integrated, effective, efficient, and resilient commercial space capabilities to the warfighter in support of OSW's Commercial Space Integration Strategy and USSF's Commercial Space Strategy. It determines capability needs in USSF mission area architectures that can and should be fulfilled with commercial capabilities, identifies and integrates viable commercial solutions, and ensures the reliability, availability, resiliency, cybersecurity, operational utility and interoperability of the commercial capability to be presented to the space operators, military warfighters, and combatant commands.

CASR will modify new and existing commercial contracts by adding the appropriate CASR contract clauses to companies that volunteer and are accepted into the program, and modifying commercial contracts to include CASR incentives. Utilize new and existing contracting vehicles including SpaceWERX Strategic Finance Increase (STRATFI) and Small Business Innovative Research Phase III contracts for specific integration efforts in several mission areas, Other Transactional Authority (OTA) agreements, and other contracting vehicles.
