A. Mission Description and Budget Item Justification

FY 2026 funding and beyond was realigned to PE 0604818A / Army Tactical Command & Control Hardware & Software, Projects EJ6 and EK9, in support of Army-

prioritized Next Generation Command and Control (NGC2) initiative to modernize Command and Control (C2) systems, for the Data and Application Layers. The

capability being developed under this project remains critical and relevant to the Warfighter. This capability, along with its resources and requirement will transition

under the overarching NGC2 capability to eliminate stove-piping, reduce duplication of effort, and provide capability within a single NGC2 core architecture.

Joint Targeting Integrated Command and Coordination Suite (JTIC2S) software will provide critical fires/targeting capability for joint and organic Army fire support management and a joint fires/targeting common operational picture (COP) for joint and coalition partners, as well as at echelon for target development. It will enable commanders to functionally integrate targeting efforts in a federated method. Military service branches at echelon will utilize the functions within JTIC2S for a synchronized targeting tactical picture with Army and Joint Fires COP to support Joint All Domain Command and Control and Multi Domain Operations against a near peer adversary. JTIC2S development efforts began in FY24.

JTIC2S will replace the currently fielded legacy Joint Automated Deep Operations Coordination System (JADOCS) developed in 2005, which is approaching end of useful life and is facing obsolescence issues due to outdated software architecture and code.

JTIC2S is a software only program using a Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) model to develop software and deploy capabilities. The CI/CD approach employs modern agile software development methodologies, tools/techniques (e.g., DEVSECOPS) and human-centered design processes (e.g., Soldier Touch Points [STPs]) to iteratively develop and deliver Fires Safety Critical Baseline (FSCB) software with shared common services and backend architecture with fire support C2 technical and tactical fire direction systems that meets Warfighter priority needs. The CI/CD approach features testing and user engagements (STPs) as integral parts of its process to ensure delivered capabilities satisfy requirements and add value for the Warfighter.

Remarks

Funding in FY 2026 and beyond was realigned to Line BA9301 - Network Management Initialization and Services, Item Number B99418 - Unified Network Operations in support of the Army's Next Generation Command and Control (NGC2) initiative to modernize Command and Control (C2) systems.

D. Acquisition Strategy

The Joint Targeting Integrated Command and Coordination Suite (JTIC2S) requirement was validated by the Common Operating Environment (COE) Configuration Steering Board in April 2022 under the COE Information System-Initial Capability Document, Command Post Computing Environment Requirements Definition Package, Capability Drop 5. JTIC2S is a software only program that will replace the legacy Joint Automated Deep Operations Coordination System (JADOCS) and provide a data-centric targeting capability that will meet increasing Joint interoperability demands, additional data types, and emerging artificial intelligence/machine learning capabilities to enable joint and coalition targeting support to Joint All Domain Command and Control and Multi Domain Operations. JTIC2S supports the Army's Command and Control (C2) Applications strategy and directly aligns to the Army Long Range Precision Fires and Network Modernization priorities.

To support program initiation in FY 2024, JTIC2S underwent Acquisition Shaping Panel reviews with the Deputy for Acquisition and Systems Management (DASM) in Jun and Dec 2022. After these stakeholder engagements, the DASM approved the use of the Major Capability Acquisition (MCA) pathway and delegation of Milestone Decision Authority (MDA) to Program Executive Office Command, Control, Communications, and Network. The MDA approved the Materiel Development Decision in September 2023. Milestone B was approved in January 2024.

JTIC2S is using Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) approach to software development and capability deployment. This includes leveraging modern agile software development methodologies, tools/techniques (e.g., DEVSECOPS) and human-centered design processes (e.g., Soldier Touch Points [STPs]) to iteratively deliver software that meets Warfighter priority needs. The CI/CD approach features continuous development and integration with testing and user engagements (STPs) as integral parts of the process to ensure delivered capability satisfies requirements and adds value for the Warfighter. JTIC2S will adhere to a Fires Safety Critical Baseline (FSCB) with shared common services and backend architecture with fire support C2 technical and tactical fire direction systems.

D. Acquisition Strategy PrSM Increment 1:

The PrSM program was designated as an acquisition category IB in 2017. In 2018, Army leaders directed PrSM to accelerate the program and provide an early operational capability (EOC) by FY 2023. The program awarded an Enhanced TMRR (E-TMRR) contract to reduce risk, conduct prototype flight-testing and conduct several engineering and manufacturing development (EMD) activities to accelerate development. In 2020, Army senior leaders approved program acceleration using a single vendor. The program executed E-TMRR as a sole-source effort to demonstrate threshold program requirements and complete sub-assembly qualification activities. The contractor conducted 18 successful flight tests to date and completed sub-assembly qualification testing while establishing a pilot production line.

The program completed its milestone C in 4QFY 2025 and initial operational test and evaluation in 4QFY 2025. The program planned a full-rate production decision in 2QFY 2026.

PrSM Increment 2: In November 2022, the Army Acquisition Executive (AAE) determined that the Increment 2 program will follow the major capability acquisition (MCA) pathway. Given the technology readiness level (TRL) at the time of transition from science and technology (S&T) to the PrSM Increment 2 program, the earliest EOC deliveries would occur is FY 2029. PrSM Increment 2 prototype flight testing begins in 2QFY 2026. A materiel development decision (MDD) occurred on 28 August 2023 and allowed the program to enter the materiel solution analysis (MSA) phase. On 25 Feb 2025, the MSA phase was extended until milestone B. PrSM Increment 2 is scheduled for a milestone B decision for 4QFY 2026. During the milestone B review, the program will determine an acquisition pathway to support production, delivery, and fielding of EOC missiles prior to milestone C. Prototype flight tests planned in FY 2026 will inform milestone B and a production/procurement decision in 3QFY 2026 for procurement of long-lead subsystems and components for the first 10 missiles.

Note

In FY 2026, Project DL2 / PrSM Increment 2 is a newly established DL2 project code. Project DL2 is not a new start in FY 2026 and instead continues Increment 2

integration activities from CO3 / Precision Strike Missile (PrSM).

A. Mission Description and Budget Item Justification

Precision Strike Missile (PrSM) Increment 2 funding line is directly aligned to the Army Long Range Precision Fires (LRPF) modernization priority.

PrSM Increment 2 integrates a multi-mode seeker to attack critical time sensitive moving maritime or relocatable land targets. In addition, the PrSM Increment 2 missile design maintains the Increment 1 capability to attack, neutralize, and destroy Increment 1 targets specified in the capability development document (CDD). The draft CDD supporting milestone B includes a new requirement to launch from M270 and HIMARS launchers on maritime platforms.

Future PrSM increments will provide increased lethality against hardened targets and extend range capability.

FY 2027 funding supports continuation of PrSM Increment 2 technology maturation risk reduction efforts leading to system level prototype flights.

D. Acquisition Strategy

In November 2022, the Army Acquisition Executive (AAE) determined that the Increment 2 program will follow the major capability acquisition (MCA) pathway. Given the technology readiness level (TRL) at the time of transition from S&T, the earliest early operational capability (EOC) deliveries would occur is FY 2029. PrSM Increment 2 prototype flight testing begins in 2QFY 2026. On 25 Feb 2025, the materiel solution analysis (MSA) phase was extended until milestone B which is scheduled for 4QFY 2026. Prototype flight tests planned in FY 2026 inform a production/procurement decision in 3QFY 2026 for procurement of long-lead subsystems and components.

Note

The FY 2026 spend plan amount for Hypersonics EMD includes $501,530 thousand of discretionary and $19,401 thousand of mandatory (reconciliation) for a total of

$520,931 thousand.

A. Mission Description and Budget Item Justification

This funding supports the fielding of critical enabling technologies and capabilities that address near-term and mid-term threats. It is directly aligned to the Army Long Range Precision Fires modernization priority.

This Program Element includes the development and fielding of the Long Range Hypersonic Weapon (LRHW) to defeat Anti Access/Area Denial (A2/AD) capabilities, suppress adversary Long Range Fires, and engage other high payoff/time critical targets. The Army is working collaboratively with the Navy in the development of the LRHW and conducting Joint Flight Campaign (JFC) tests to evaluate overall system performance with added focus on missile body and payload performance.

The LRHW system consists of the All Up Rounds (AUR) plus Canister (AUR+C) which includes the Common Hypersonic Glide Body (CHGB) with the Navy 34.5 inch booster, the Battery Operations Center (BOC) for command and control (C2), and the Transporter Erector Launcher (TEL). An LRHW Battery contains eight AUR+Cs plus a reload of eight, one BOC, and four TELs each carrying two AUR+Cs. Additionally, the LRHW will use a modified version of an existing C2 network, the Advanced Field Artillery Tactical Data System (AFATDS).

Continued RDT&E investment is required beyond the initial prototype Battery to meet objective requirements and to maintain overmatch against evolving threats. Through implementation of planned Technology Insertions (TIs), the program will increase capability, upgrade the system to address obsolescence, and upgrade platform, launcher, and weapon control systems with mature technologies from Science and Technology (S&T). Qualification testing is also required to validate these developmental changes. Soldier operational testing of new capability is also required.

The total cost of the LRHW Ground Support Equipment (GSE) Middle Tier of Acquisition Rapid Fielding (RF) effort is $1,311 million from FY23 to FY28, including RDT&E ($538M) and procurement ($773.1M) of prototype units. The remainder of the LRHW GSE MTA RF is fully funded across the Future Years Defense.

A. Mission Description and Budget Item Justification

This funding supports the fielding of critical enabling technologies and capabilities that address near-term and mid-term threats. It is directly aligned to the Army Long

Range Precision Fires modernization priority.

This Program Element includes the development and fielding of the Long Range Hypersonic Weapon (LRHW) to defeat Anti Access/Area Denial (A2/AD) capabilities, suppress adversary Long Range Fires, and engage other high payoff/time critical targets. The Army is working collaboratively with the Navy in the development of the LRHW and conducting Joint Flight Campaign (JFC) tests to evaluate overall system performance with added focus on missile body and payload performance.

The LRHW system consists of the All Up Rounds (AUR) plus Canister (AUR+C) which includes the Common Hypersonic Glide Body (CHGB) with the Navy 34.5 inch booster, the Battery Operations Center (BOC) for command and control (C2), and the Transporter Erector Launcher (TEL). An LRHW Battery contains eight AUR+Cs, one BOC, and four TELs each carrying two AUR+Cs. Additionally, the LRHW will use a modified version of an existing C2 network, the Advanced Field Artillery Tactical Data System (AFATDS).

Continued RDT&E investment is required beyond the initial prototype Battery to meet objective requirements and to maintain overmatch against evolving threats. Through implementation of planned Technology Insertions (TIs), the program will increase capability, upgrade the system to address obsolescence, and upgrade platform, launcher, and weapon control systems with mature technologies from Science and Technology (S&T). Qualification testing is also required to validate these developmental changes. Soldier operational testing of new capability is also required.

The total cost of the LRHW Ground Support Equipment (GSE) Middle Tier of Acquisition Rapid Fielding (RF) effort is $1,311 million from FY23 to FY28, including RDT&E ($538M) and procurement ($773.1M) of prototype units. The remainder of the LRHW GSE MTA RF is fully funded across the Future Years Defense.

FY 2027 funding provides funding of test assets and tactical AUR+Cs; TI development and integration; test activities and events; and systems engineering and program management.

FY27 funding includes $10M for cost reduction production changes developed by USW(A&S) Innovation Capability and Modernization (ICAM) investments.

The Accessions Information Environment (AIE) is transforming the Army's recruiting and accessions process by introducing a fully integrated enterprise system that

incorporates modern business practices and enhanced recruiting abilities. This modernization enables recruiters to spend more time in the field engaging potential

recruits, less time managing paperwork or pulling data from legacy systems and allows recruiters to operate efficiently and effectively with mobile devices.

Built on Salesforce Public Sector Solutions and hosted in Amazon Web Services (AWS) Cloud, AIE provides a configurable, scalable solution for Army-wide talent acquisition. AIE streamlines the accessioning process for enlisted soldiers, commissioned officers, in service personnel, and direct commissions. It provides eight core capabilities, including lead management, prospecting, interviewing, processing, pay and incentives, intelligence, marketing, and training. The program serves as the Army's official accessions system, enhancing coordination among various HR agencies to improve efficiency and the overall soldier experience.

To enhance software development and deployment, AIE transitioned from traditional development methods to an Agile framework, incorporating human-centered design and security-focused processes. Partnering with early adopters from the National Guard, AIE released the Minimum Viable Product (MVP) 1QFY25 to gather user feedback. In FY26, AIE continues development of the Enlisted Recruiting Mission MVP and has expanded user adoption through Soldier Center-Design Exercise events. AIE deployed Leads and Prospect capabilities to the Indianapolis Recruiting Battalion in 1QFY26 and accelerated development of ROTC mission to support Army CIO's priorities. During FY27, AIE will conduct scaled deployment of approximately 22K Enlisted Recruiting users while continuously delivering enhancements for the Enlisted Mission under the overall Accessions Support effort. Additionally, start planning and development of ROTC, In Service and Direct Commission missions.

FY 2027 dollars in the amount of $33.770 million supports scaled deployment of approximately 22K Enlisted Recruiting users while continuously delivering enhancements for the Enlisted Mission under the overall Accessions Support effort. Additionally, the funding supports planning and development of ROTC, In Service and Direct Commission missions. Development activities include ongoing incremental planning sessions, Agile development team operations, technical program management, interface development, cybersecurity, systems engineering test and continuous analysis of alternative approaches to meet evolving solution requirements.

A. Mission Description and Budget Item Justification

The Accessions Information Environment (AIE) is transforming the Army's recruiting and accessions process by introducing a fully integrated enterprise system that

incorporates modern business practices and enhanced recruiting abilities. This modernization enables recruiters to spend more time in the field engaging potential

recruits, less time managing paperwork or pulling data from legacy systems and allows recruiters to operate efficiently and effectively with mobile devices.

Built on Salesforce Public Sector Solutions and hosted in Amazon Web Services (AWS) Cloud, AIE provides a configurable, scalable solution for Army-wide talent acquisition. AIE streamlines the accessioning process for enlisted soldiers, commissioned officers, in service personnel, and direct commissions. It provides eight core capabilities, including lead management, prospecting, interviewing, processing, pay and incentives, intelligence, marketing, and training. The program serves as the Army's official accessions system, enhancing coordination among various HR agencies to improve efficiency and the overall soldier experience.

To enhance software development and deployment, AIE transitioned from traditional development methods to an Agile framework, incorporating human-centered design and security-focused processes. Partnering with early adopters from the National Guard, AIE released the Minimum Viable Product (MVP) 1QFY25 to gather user feedback. In FY26, AIE continues development of the Enlisted Recruiting Mission MVP and has expanded user adoption through Soldier Center-Design Exercise events. AIE deployed Leads and Prospect capabilities to the Indianapolis Recruiting Battalion in 1QFY26 and accelerated development of ROTC mission to support Army CIO's priorities. During FY27, AIE will conduct scaled deployment of approximately 22K Enlisted Recruiting users while continuously delivering enhancements for the Enlisted Mission under the overall Accessions Support effort. Additionally, start planning and development of ROTC, In Service and Direct Commission missions.

FY 2027 dollars in the amount of $33.770 million supports scaled deployment of approximately 22K Enlisted Recruiting users while continuously delivering enhancements for the Enlisted Mission under the overall Accessions Support effort. Additionally, the funding supports planning and development of ROTC, In Service and Direct Commission missions. Development activities include ongoing incremental planning sessions, Agile development team operations, technical program management, interface development, cybersecurity, systems engineering test and continuous analysis of alternative approaches to meet evolving solution requirements.

A. Mission Description and Budget Item Justification

This funding line is directly aligned to the Army Long-Range Precision Fires modernization priority. The Mid-Range Capability (MRC) weapon system leverages other

service technologies and integration of common hardware, software, and mutually supporting test events. The MRC is a ground launched, long-range precision fires

offensive weapon system to defeat Anti-Access/Area-Denial (A2/AD) threats and other high value targets to enable warfighter dominance in support of Long-Range

Precision Fires, Multi-Domain Operations, and Joint Force objectives. MRC provides ground support equipment to include a Battery Operations Center (BOC) with

support vehicles, launcher Payload Deployment System, and reload support to fire a mix of missiles capable of engaging strategic targets at mid-range distances. MRC

leverages existing Standard Missile-6 (SM-6) and Tomahawk technology to include command and control systems and missile variants to provide a responsive, highly

accurate capability designed for high value targets.

The first MRC prototype weapon system battery, delivered in FY 2023 as the first unit of issue, provided residual combat capability consisting of one BOC with support vehicles, four launchers, and a reload capability. Also delivered was the basic load of missiles consisting of eight Tomahawk Block V and eight SM-6 Block IA. Follow-on annual delivery of the next three batteries (Battery 2 through 4) utilizes RDT&E under a Middle Tier of Acquisition Rapid Prototyping pathway. Battery 2 was delivered in 4Q2024, Battery 3 was delivered in 4Q2025, and Battery 4's anticipated delivery date from contractor is 4Q2026.

The Army is developing a BOC with a reduced footprint (RBF) to support greater battlefield maneuverability and survivability. The RBF will feature a smaller form factor to enhance mobility, transportability, and interoperability with other system components aligned to mission requirements. This effort includes design, integration, Common Autonomous Multi-Domain Launcher (CAML) integration, and testing activities to ensure the RBF meets established system objectives and maintains operational effectiveness. The RBF will be incorporated into MRC system with the fielding of Battery 4.

FY 2027 funding in the amount of $82.550 million continues all aspects of developing MRC technology upgrades. Upgrades provide the prototype systems with iterative survivability, reliability, and operational effectiveness improvements based on evolving system requirements to ensure operational effectiveness. Base funding allows for continued development of system improvements utilizing evaluation, design, prototyping, testing, engineering, configuration management, component and system-level qualification activities, operational demonstrations, operator/maintainer training development, and integration of all functional support to ensure operational safety and effectiveness of all fielded and in-development systems to meet performance needs. Battery Operation Center (BOC) enhancements lead to the finalized system design of the Reduced BOC Footprint (RBF). System enhancements incorporated with RBF prepare the MRC system to interface with future Army munition launch capabilities.

The total cost of the Mid-Range Capability (MRC) Middle Tier of Acquisition effort is $591.1 million RDT&E from FY 2024 to FY 2026. The MRC Middle Tier of Acquisition is fully funded across the Future Years Defense Program.

D. Acquisition Strategy

The first MRC battery was delivered in FY 2023, consisting of one BOC with support vehicles, four launchers, and a reload capability. The initial delivery also included

the first eight Tomahawk and eight Standard Missile-6 (SM-6) missiles for operational use. Development, delivery, and fielding of the remaining three MRC batteries is

ongoing.

Battery 2 was delivered in 4Q2024, Battery 3 was delivered in 4Q2025, and Battery 4's anticipated delivery date from contractor is 4Q2026 under the Middle Tier of Acquisition Rapid Prototyping (MTA RP) Acquisition pathway. MRC is currently pursuing an extension to the existing MTA RP with an updated Acquisition Decision Memorandum.

For Batteries 2 through 4, MRC will use mature technologies and software and continue to evolve them though technology insertion to meet operational needs within the Army's required delivery timeline. The MTA RP strategy reduces program risk, allows for technology upgrades with each battery and enables industry to quickly deliver capability within the five-year window. The Navy's Vertical Launching System, Tomahawk, and SM-6 are all fielded systems with an extensive track record of operational success. The MRC program integrates the missiles, launchers, and command and control hardware into a land-based configuration with the goal of staying common with the Navy's fielded systems. This approach minimizes developmental efforts and thereby reduces overall technical risk. Known technology improvements, such as wireless and beyond line-of-sight communications, survivability upgrades, command and control virtualization, and incorporation of future missile variants, necessitate changes to each battery.

The existing Other Transaction Authority (OTA) agreement, which was novated to Army Contracting Command-Redstone Arsenal (ACC-RSA) in January 2024, was utilized to support program execution. The OTA included exercised Cost-Plus-Fixed-Fee options for Batteries 2 through 4. The program utilized existing contract vehicles to procure items already in production, including Army contracts for standard trucks, trailers, and generators, and Navy contracts supporting Tomahawk and SM-6.

ACC-RSA awarded a Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) based contract in April 2025 to enable continued weapon system modifications (WSMs) to include development engineering and design efforts for a RBF. ACC RSA awarded a FAR based contract in 1Q FY 2026 for integrated logistics support to ensure operational effectiveness of fielded batteries.

Based on available data rights and industry partner capabilities, the program office identified WSMs appropriate for execution by vendors other than the OEM. These WSMs were separated from the core scope, and the resulting modification kits will be delivered as Government-Furnished Equipment (GFE) to the OEM for final integration.

Note

Network baseline activities utilize a series of network integration assessments that gather multiple data points which include verification and validation test events,

continuous lab-and field-based testing environments, user juries, and user evaluations. These are iterative and collaborative test activities that engage with Army

decision makers and end users, and provide feedback regarding network cybersecurity resiliency and threat vulnerability, risk reduction, and systems and network

performance to inform modernization and innovation decisions.

Note

The FY 2026 spend plan amount for Future Long Range Assault Aircraft Development includes $1,220,568 thousand of discretionary and $310,000 thousand of

mandatory (reconciliation) for a total of $1,530,568 thousand.

$192.529 million was funded under RDT&E, Army PE 0603801A/Aviation - Adv Dev, Project B47 under a FY 2025 continuing resolution prior to funding being authorized on this line under Full-Year Continuing Appropriations and Extensions Act, 2025 (P.L. 119-4).

A. Mission Description and Budget Item Justification

This funding line directly aligns to the Future Vertical Lift (FVL) Army modernization priority. FVL is an initiative to develop a family of vertical lift aircraft for the United States Armed Forces. The Department of War (DOW) established FVL to focus vertical lift capabilities and technology development as well as retain long-term industrial base capabilities. The Deputy Secretary of War issued the FVL Strategic Plan in 2012 to outline a joint approach for the next generation vertical lift aircraft for all military services. The Strategic Plan provided a foundation for replacing the current fleet with advanced capability by shaping the development of vertical lift aircraft for the next 25 to 40 years. In Fiscal Year (FY) 2017, the Army identified FVL as one of the Army's six modernization priorities and established the FVL Cross Functional Team (CFT). The FVL objectives are increased vertical lift maneuverability, range, speed, payload, survivability, and reliability while reducing the logistics footprint. This capability will provide critical vertical lift aviation capability in multi-domain operations to the joint warfighter and maneuver force.

The Future Long Range Assault Aircraft (FLRAA) weapon system provides Combatant Commanders with deterrence, power projection, and tactical capabilities at operational and strategic distances. The Army competitively awarded the weapon system development contract in December 2022, using a hybrid acquisition approach.

FLRAA integrates advanced technologies, using a modular open systems approach, and design configurations with appropriate trades to ensure affordability.
