Description

Mission Rapid Resilient Command and Control (R2C2)

The Assistant Secretary of the Air Force for Space Acquisition and Integration directed the formation of a Combined Program Office (CPO) by merging Enterprise Ground Services (EGS) from Space Systems Command (SSC) and Ground Command, Control, and Communications (GC3) from the Space Rapid Capabilities Office (Space RCO). The CPO is called the Rapid Resilient Command and Control (R2C2) CPO and utilizes the Space RCO acquisition authorities under the Space RCO Program Executive Officer to execute funding in the EGS and GC3 program elements to develop an extensible, scalable, modular ground segment solution capable of supporting protect and defend missions of the United States Space Force. Combined EGS and GC3 funding will be used wholly and directly to support CPO activities. R2C2 will continue development and integration of the satellite operations ground segment solution (SatOps) to support the protect and defend mission set, including, but not limited to, capabilities and services needed to perform mission control. In FY 2026, Program Element (PE) 1206770SF, Enterprise Ground Services (EGS), efforts transferred to PE 1206772SF, Rapid Resilient Command and Control (R2C2), to consolidate functions for efficiency and improve transparency. There was a one-time technical adjustment in FY 2025 approved by Congress that moved EGS funding from PE 1206770SF to PE 1206857SF, Space Rapid Capabilities Office, which improved funding execution in FY 2025. 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 elements 1206392SF and 1206398SF. This program is in Budget Activity 7, Operational System Development because this budget activity includes development efforts to upgrade systems that have been fielded or have received approval for full rate production and anticipate production funding in the current or subsequent fiscal year.

No follow-the-dollar view — this program's awards haven't been crosswalked at high confidence (flows cover 17 of 1741 programs). why coverage is partial? →

Awards

No awards are linked to this program element at high confidence — the budget→award crosswalk only asserts links it can defend, and this line has none yet.

Lobbying Mentions

No Senate LDA lobbying filing in the tracked data mentions this program element by code or alias.

No research dossier for this program — dossiers cover 50 of 1741 programs, the largest fully J-book-detailed lines by FY2026 requested dollars. why no dossier here? →
