Robust Infrastructure and Access

Mission— Other Robust Infrastructure

The Robust Infrastructure portfolio provides select resources in support of Defensive Cyberspace Operations, such as the managed unclassified infrastructure that provides virtual tenant spaces for CNMF Hunt Forward Operations missions. Robust Infrastructure includes Cyberspace Rapid Response Platform (CRRP) resources critical for USCYBERCOM's CNMF to successfully implement new and extended capabilities, services, tradecraft/tactics, and partnerships optimized to accelerate and expand opportunities to counter adversary aggression, especially under no-notice and other emergent / crisis scenarios. CRRP resources are foundational for the success of the CNMF's new JTF ZERO, which is charged with rapid access generation, innovation, and transfer of actionable cyber insights and methods across the CNMF, to other USCYBERCOM elements, and to designated partners. The CENTURION effort involves developing and advancing the state of the art in non-kinetic capabilities, delivered to operators with the appropriate authorities for effect to meet designated USCYBERCOM and DoD missions.

Mission— Robust Infrastructure and Other Cyber Operations Infrastructure

US Cyber Command's (USCYBERCOM) mission is to deter or defeat strategic threats to US interests and infrastructure, provide mission assurance for the operations and defense of the Department of Defense information environment, and support the achievement of the Joint Force Commander's objectives. The Joint Common Access Platform (JCAP) supports USCYBERCOM by providing a protected, managed, orchestrated environment and common firing platform to coordinate and execute the delivery of cyber effects against approved targets. This capability enables Cyber Mission Forces' (CMF) ability to execute operations while managing detection and attribution. The JCAP program leverages existing service access platform programs, with the objective of combining, enhancing, and evolving existing program baselines into a "Best of Breed" JCAP.

Robust Infrastructure are the platforms necessary to conduct offensive and defensive cyberspace operations.

The other portion of this Robust Infrastructure program element support of Defensive Cyber Operations, such as the managed unclassified infrastructure that provides virtual tenant spaces for Cyber National Mission Force (CNMF) Hunt Forward Operations (HFO) missions. Robust Infrastructure includes Cyberspace Rapid Response Platform (CRRP) resources critical for CYBERCOM's CNMF to successfully implement new and extended capabilities, services, tradecraft/tactics, and partnerships optimized to accelerate and expand opportunities to counter adversary aggression, especially when arising under no-notice and other emergent / crisis scenarios. CRRP resources are foundational for the success of the CNMF's new Joint Task Force ZERO, which is charged with rapid access generation, innovation, and transfer of actionable cyber insights and methods across the CNMF, to other USCYBERCOM elements, and to designated partners. The FY 2026 Request for CRRP includes $20.440 million of discretionary and $53.000 million of mandatory (reconciliation) for a total of $73.440 million. These mandatory funds provide for Low equity cyber infrastructure. Further information for this reconciliation request is provided in Chapter 12 of the Reconciliation Exhibit.

Mission— JCAP

USCYBERCOM's mission is to deter or defeat strategic threats to US interests and infrastructure, provide mission assurance for the operations and defense of the Department of Defense information environment, and support the achievement of the Joint Force Commander's objectives. The JCAP is comprised of multiple hardware and software components that together provide a protected, managed, orchestrated environment and common firing platform to coordinate and execute the delivery of cyber effects against approved targets. The platform includes a low-side (unclassified) infrastructure and a high-side (classified) infrastructure that are connected through a cross-domain solution. Additionally, JCAP provides a security operations center and a wide area network that connects the geographically dispersed operating locations.
