Collaborative Combat Aircraft (PE 0207147M) · Navy

What it is

Collaborative Combat Aircraft (0207147M) is a Navy research & development line funded in the Research, Development, Test and Evaluation, Navy account. Its J-book detail breaks the line into 1 project.

What changed

No FY25→26 comparison — endpoints unavailable or on different bases.

Who gets it

No company is linked to this line. Award records do not carry the program element, so the crosswalk is silent here — why.

Budget trajectory

The program's 3 summary figures for FY24 to FY26, plotted in fiscal-year order: this line ends higher than it starts. The points are the summary cards above, not a separate derivation; the table beside the chart carries each figure with its own citation.

Budget trajectory: one row per fiscal year, carrying the summary figure the sparkline plots. Every figure opens its own citation.
Fiscal year	Amount

FY25	$0J-book detail · PB2026
FY26	$58.0MR-1 TOA · PB2026

Decade view

P-1/R-1 workbook TOA basis, shown compact in $B/$M (the workbook records USD thousands); each figure cites its own President's Budget edition

One fiscal year of this program as published: a line through the actuals (filled dots), with the enacted (hollow circles) and request (diamonds) markers each edition reported. Read it for direction, not for precision — this program's actuals line is too short to show a direction. The grid below is the same data as text, one cited figure per cell.

● actuals (line) · ○ enacted · ◇ request — gaps are editions the program is absent from, never interpolated.

Decade series values by fiscal year and President's Budget edition: one row per series (actuals, enacted, request), one column per fiscal year. Every figure opens its own citation.
Series	FY26
Request	$58.0M

blank = series not published for this year; – = absent from that edition.

Program lineage

No predecessor/successor lineage was recorded for this program element — no FY-to-FY transfer into or out of this line was stated in the ingested J-books, and none was inferred from the program structure.

Description

Mission — (U) COLLABORATIVE COMBAT AIRCRAFT

USMC Collaborative Combat Aircraft (CCA) is an uncrewed aircraft that enhances the survivability and lethality of the Marine Air Ground Task Force (MAGTF), complimenting the service's current 4th/5th Generation Tactical Aircraft (TACAIR) capability. The uncrewed weapons systems under development will enhance Marine Corps Aviation's lethality and ability to support the Stand-in Force (SiF) by delivering air-to-ground, reconnaissance, and Electronic Warfare (EW) capabilities. This Program Element leverages OSD Rapid Defense Experimentation Reserve (RDER) investments to rapidly field an uncrewed aircraft capable of collaborative effects with expeditionary manned aircraft (current 4th/5th Generation TACAIR) and amphibious forces as part of the Joint Force. Key attributes include enhanced survivability of tactical manned aircraft, integrated autonomy and improved lethality against near-peer/peer threats. Program activities include employment of digital acquisitions via digital engineering, agile software development, and open systems architecture. Funding provides information technology/test/training/infrastructure investments, operational concept exploration, technology studies, multi-domain integration, operational assessments, architecture development, and multi-level prototyping towards a Minimum Viable Product (MVP), as well as program management support. This effort also reduces risk towards enhanced technology development, integration and demonstration. JUSTIFICATION FOR BUDGET ACTIVITY: This program is funded under ADVANCED COMPONENT DEVELOPMENT AND PROTOTYPES because it includes all efforts necessary to evaluate integrated technologies, representative models or prototype systems in a high fidelity and realistic operating environment.

Mission — MUX TACAIR Increment I

MAGTF Unmanned Aerial System Expeditionary Tactical Aircraft (MUX TACAIR) is a component of the USMC initiative to field a Collaborative Combat Aircraft (CCA) capability that supports mass buildup of a Joint Force against a peer/near-peer adversary. Project efforts focus on operations from austere Expeditionary Advanced Basing Operations (EABO) airfields in support of Marine Littoral Regiment (MLR) and/or Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU) operations serving as the Stand in Force (SiF) for a Joint Force, providing lethal and flexible support to support from the land and sea. This project increases MAGTF lethality, capacity and interoperability in the reconnaissance and electronic warfare mission areas, complementing existing and future TACAIR capabilities and enhancing combat reach into the INDOPACOM Area of Responsibility (AoR), or wherever enhanced, stand-off lethality is needed by the Joint Force. MUX TACAIR will increase the survivability, lethality, interoperability, and sustainability of the Marine Corps in support of the Joint Force.
