What it is
- The Defense Information Systems Network (DISN) is the Department of Defense's consolidated worldwide telecommunications infrastructure that provides end-to-end information transport for military operations, connecting warfighters and Combatant Commanders through a long-haul transport network for command, control, communications, computers, and intelligence.
- The DISN spans terrestrial, subsea, wireless, mobile, and satellite communications and integrates them into a survivable, dynamically scalable network that reaches the edge of the communications network so warfighters can access services worldwide.
- Program managers categorize DISN as DoD's worldwide telecommunications transport infrastructure, noting that network infrastructure is distinct from cyber operations.
- Procurement funding supports several core areas, including DISN Technology Refresh (periodic replacement of aging network components), the Enhanced Pentagon Capability/Survivable Emergency Conferencing Network (EPC/SECN) for classified senior-leader communications, and the Defense Red Switch Network (DRSN), which provides multi-level secure voice and conferencing from SECRET up to TS/SCI for the President, Secretary of Defense, and military commands.
- Other funded areas include Airborne Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance Data Transport (AISR-DT), which streams sensor data such as full-motion video from drones and aircraft to strategic and tactical customers, and Internet Protocol (IP) Enabling, which supports the DoD Network Information Center's Domain Name System (DNS) services.
- The program also includes Proliferated Low Earth Orbit (pLEO), a layer of many redundant small satellites that connect in a multi-nodal system, eliminating the risk of a single point of failure and providing diverse routing options for DISN traffic to reduce risk from adversarial targeting.
- The AISR Resilient Ground Infrastructure effort stems from the Gateway Optimization and Resiliency (GOaR) Study, commissioned by the DoD Chief Information Officer and finalized in July 2022, which concluded that DoD must improve technology quality and increase capacity across satellite ground entry points so the network can keep supporting warfighters if one or more sites become unavailable.
Why it matters
- DISN procurement is set to rise sharply: the FY2026 request totals about $252.37 million (roughly $252,370 thousand), compared with $64.549 million in FY2024 actual spending.
- For reference, the program's FY2024 actual procurement spending under Procurement, Defense-Wide was $64.549 million.
- FY2025 enacted procurement was $68.786 million, a modest step up before the large FY2026 increase.
- The bulk of the FY2026 growth is driven by the new AISR Resilient Ground Infrastructure initiative, budgeted at $137.793 million to modernize and improve the resiliency of airborne ISR ground capability worldwide.
- Within that initiative, DISA plans to install 1,125 platform modems ($71.8 million) at 15 ISR ground entry point locations to handle an exponentially increasing number of unmanned aerial systems, citing lessons learned from the Ukraine conflict.
- The FY2026 plan also includes $20 million to integrate commercial low earth orbit (LEO) satellite constellations, which DISA says add multi-orbit, low-latency, high-throughput capacity and expand routing options for delivering data to warfighters.
- DISA says it is replacing end-of-life session border controllers and routers because operating DoD systems on obsolete hardware that no longer receives cybersecurity updates is a cybersecurity policy violation.
- The classified Multi-Level Secure Video and Voice (MLSV2) program is newly funded at $33.331 million in FY2026 to modernize DoD secure conferencing for national and military leadership command-and-control functions.
- A classified DISN Resiliency effort (formerly Hypercore) grows from $35 million in FY2025 to $50.749 million in FY2026 to support DISN reconfiguration.
- Some FY2026 planned work was scaled back: the EPC/SECN line decreased by $0.677 million because of the Secretary of Defense's eight percent reduction, meaning DISA will upgrade three fewer sites with Juniper routers and session border controllers than originally planned.
Key players
- The Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) is the organization responsible for the DISN program.
- In FY2024, DISA procured 2,500 Starlink portable user terminals ($7.26 million) in accordance with Public Law 118-50, which provided Ukraine supplemental funding.
- DISA's FY2024 DRSN work included procuring 120 Oracle Session Border Controllers for installation at 46 sites, and its FY2025 plan included procuring 130 Juniper routers after switching router models due to testing issues.
- The FY2026 EPC/SECN plan funds a Raytheon Digital Small Switch (DSS-2A) configuration modification ($0.875 million) to improve status monitoring and logging.

Program Narratives
Description— Defense Information System Network
The Defense Information Systems Network (DISN) is the Department of Defense's (DoD's) consolidated worldwide telecommunications infrastructure that provides end-to-end information transport for DoD operations to the warfighters and the Combatant Commanders via a robust Command, Control, Communications, Computers, and Intelligence information long-haul transport infrastructure. The DISN, seamlessly spanning the full spectrum from terrestrial to space and strategic to tactical domains, provides the interoperable telecommunications connectivity required to plan, implement, and support all operational missions, anytime. DISN services reach the edge of the communications network; the warfighter can access them worldwide. The DISN delivers a platform consisting of DoD's core communications, computing, and information services and integrates terrestrial, subsea, wireless, mobile, and satellite communications into a network cloud that is survivable and dynamically scalable. DISN Procurement funding supports the following core areas: • DISN Technology Refresh: Supports technology insertion, evolution, enhancement, and refurbishment of the global DISN infrastructure. DISN system components require periodic replacement to ensure continued supportability through an indefinite service life. The process is essential to extend the service life of the DISN by staying ahead of the obsolescence curve with cost effective planning. • The Enhanced Pentagon Capability (EPC)/Survivable Emergency Conferencing Network (SECN): Provides classified capabilities to support senior leaders' communications. The EPC/SECN must meet the stringent requirements of the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Instruction, CJCSI 6811.01B, Nuclear Technical Performance Criteria (NTPC). Therefore, the EPC network must be readily available and operate at its optimum performance level at all times. • Airborne Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance Data Transport (AISR-DT): Supports the Combatant Commanders/Services Agencies (CC/S/A) to gather, analyze and stream AISR sensor data to globally dispersed strategic, operational, and tactical customers. This timely and assured delivery of fused intelligence allows information superiority in support of Counterterrorism, Theater Campaign Plans and Contingency Operations. • AISR-Resilient Ground Infrastructure (RGI): The AISR ground entry points (GEPs) receive sensor data from unmanned aerial systems (UAS) (e.g., drones) and aircraft and transmit that data to deployed Warfighters increasing their effectiveness and lethality. Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) have provided an essential means of observing tactical battlespaces since the beginning of the century. Their employment throughout different military operations provided essentially real-time battlefield awareness of threats and adversarial actions. DoD CIO commissioned the Gateway Optimization and Resiliency (GOaR) Study, which was finalized and accepted by the DoD CIO in July 2022, to evaluate the overall resiliency of the entire DoD Satellite Communication (SATCOM) Enterprise. The purpose of the GOaR Study was to determine whether there is sufficient resiliency across the ground infrastructure of the DoD SATCOM Enterprise. The GOaR Study concluded that the DoD must improve the quality of technology across the DoDIN ground entry points (GEPs). The DoD must increase the capacity of each GEP. Should one or more GEP become unavailable, the remainder of the ground infrastructure must be able to continue to support U.S. Warfighting forces engaged in operational missions. Additionally, the GEPs must provide redundancy across multiple frequency bands and sites. The AISR GEPs receive sensor data from UAS and aircraft and transmit that data to the DISN via tactical relays and dissemination systems. The Defense Red Switch Network (DRSN): DRSN provides multi-level secure, rapid, ad hoc, voice calling and conferencing capability from SECRET up to TS/SCI to the President, Secretary of Defense, Services, COCOMs, subordinate organizations (military and civilian) and coalition allies. Procurement funding enables DISA to combine commercial best practices with DoD unique capabilities to create a global communications infrastructure that is resilient against adversaries. • Internet Protocol (IP) Enabling: Supports the DoD Network Information Center (NIC). The NIC plans, manages, and sustains delivery of Domain Name System (DNS) capabilities for the global Internet and for the classified SECRET and unclassified CUI Defense Information System Network (DISN). Procurement funding provides necessary tech refresh to keep all equipment on current releases and to retain vendor support. If the equipment becomes unsupportable, the vendor no longer supplies patches. If the vendor no longer releases patches for security vulnerabilities, the user will be relying on vulnerable devices. • Starlink: Starlink is a commercial satellite internet provider. Starlink sells equipment that enables users to connect to the internet in remote areas, while driving, and while at sea. Starlink provides high-speed coverage with limited latency and unlimited data. • DISN Resiliency (formerly DISN Hypercore Reconfiguration): Adds resiliency to the DISN Core infrastructure. Detect and resolve COCOM vulnerabilities through the procurement of assets, systems, and networks, whether physical or virtual to eliminate vulnerabilities that would have debilitating effects on critical infrastructure. • Proliferated Low Earth Orbit (pLEO): A network of satellites that creates a reliable network for the warfighter. The pLEO network is a layer of satellites in space that allows ground stations and satellites to connect with each other. The network consists of many redundant and overlapping smaller satellites that connect in a multi-nodal system that eliminates the risk of having a network with a single point of failure. The program will securely connect the DoD with DISN Core Infrastructure services. pLEO peering will leverage commercial pLEO capabilities to provide diverse routing options for DISN traffic. Diversifying DISN routing reduces risk for the Joint Force as it challenges adversarial targeting of critical communications mediums.
Justification— Defense Information System Network
Technology Refresh (TR) FY 2024: $22.415M - Detect and resolve COCOM vulnerability through the procurement of assets, systems, and networks, whether physical or virtual, to eliminate vulnerabilities that would have debilitating effects on critical infrastructure. • DISN Survivable Networking – TR: $11.314M - Detect and resolve COCOM vulnerability at one critical site. Work is extending into FY 2025 with expected completion in FY 2026. • DISN Survivable Networking UKR: $5.050M - Procured allied node addition for one OCONUS location. • DISN Resiliency (formerly DISN Core Reconfiguration): $6.051M - One-time funding increase to support classified capabilities associated with Global DISN Resiliency (formerly Hypercore) Program. This program/mission is classified. Details are available on request. FY 2025: $0.000M - In FY 2025, DISN Tech Refresh as a direct appropriated program will be dissolved. DISA realigned the funding to support the IP Enabling and EPC/SECN missions. Explanation of Change from FY 2024 to FY 2025: -$22.415M - The decrease is due to the dissolution of the DISN Technology Refresh program. DISA realigned the funding to support the IP Enabling and EPC/ SECN missions. FY 2026: $0.000M - DISN Tech Refresh is no longer a direct appropriated program and has been dissolved. DISA realigned the funding to support the IP Enabling and EPC/SECN missions. EPC/SECN DISA purchases, installs, and integrates hardware across the EPC/SECN and DRSN networks to continually modernize DISA's classified communications networks to protect sensitive information and keep data confidential and secure. This hardware includes Cryptographic Devices, Session Border Controllers (SBCs), Routers, and other network equipment. DISA is replacing the SBCs and Routers because they are end of life/end of support; it is a cybersecurity policy violation to operate DoD systems on obsolete hardware that no longer receives cybersecurity updates. FY 2024: $1.547M: • Procured 72 cryptographic devices (of 419 total needed) for transport crypto modernization. Remainder purchased with DRSN funding. Note: This requirement shifted from 352 to 419 (includes 15 percent sparing) due to the addition of a requirement for IP Mobility Gateway cryptographic devices. Including prior year and DRSN funding, DISA has purchased 380 to date. FY 2025: $9.469M: • Ectocryp Black Qty 1 and Qty 2 Devices: $0.650M - Procurement of three devices total to be used in testing DRSN encrypted capabilities. • EPC/SECN Integration Labor: $8.819M - Labor to support the integration of equipment. Upgrade of two Network Operations Centers (NOCs) (server and storage hardware to be purchased with FY 2025 DRSN funding), IP Mobile Gateway instantiation (cryptographic device integration) and Enhanced Pentagon Capability Terrestrial (EPCT)-Transport Modernization at four sites (cryptographic device integration). Note: Due to delays purchasing Juniper routers, DISA was able to procure the Oracle Session Border Controls and a large increment of cryptographic devices with DRSN funds rather than with EPC/SECN funds as planned in the FY 2025 PB. This enables EPC/SECN to focus on integrating rather than purchasing hardware. Explanation of Change from FY 2024 to FY 2025: $7.922M - Increase due to the decentralization of the DISN Technology Refresh program. DISA realigned funds to EPC/SECN to fund integration labor and test equipment in support of transport tech refresh activities. FY 2026: $8.792M: • Cryptographic Devices: $1.196M - Procure an additional 39 cryptographic devices for sparing requirements. These devices enable DISA to maintain a 15 percent sparing threshold for fielded hardware. • Field Network Interface Card: $0.572M - Field Network Interface Card (NIC) upgrade to Enhanced Command Consoles (ECC) at EPC locations to improve availability and failover capability of ECCs. • Raytheon Digital Small Switch (DSS-2A) Configuration Modification: $0.875M - Improve status monitoring and logging of DSS-2A suite of equipment. • Voice over Internet Protocol (VOIP) Boards: $0.472M - Procure 59 VOIP boards. A VOIP board is a piece of hardware for the DSS-2A that manages call connections. • EPC/SECN Contractor Labor: $5.677M - Projected contractor support for implementation/integration labor required to integrate Juniper routers and SBCs at 8 of 46 sites as well as gateway modernization activities for EPC architecture. Explanation of Change from FY 2025 to FY 2026: -$0.677M - Decrease is due to the SECDEF's eight percent reduction. The DISA will upgrade three fewer sites with Juniper Routers and SBCs than originally planned for FY 2026. ISR Transport AISR transports intelligence including Full Motion Video (FMV) to and from U.S. and coalition forces across the globe. Approved Joint Requirements Oversight Council Memoranda (JRCOMs) 028-17, 029-17,034-17, 096-17, 069-18 structure ISR into five blocks (e.g., Levels of Effort). Procurement funding supports the purchase of equipment for the first three blocks. The fourth block does not require equipment, and the Services purchase equipment for the fifth block. • Block 1 Dissemination: This Block provides the critical access point for immediate dissemination of FMV, access point for application program interface (API) users (access in the 1000s daily), and the access point Processing, Exploitation and Dissemination (PED) for intelligence analysts. Dissemination to the DISN occurs via Block 3 ISR Ground Entry Points (GEPs). • Block 2 Tactical Relays: The Tactical Relays are movable platforms that transfer FMV from sensors (e.g., drones) to the Block 1 Dissemination systems via the Block 3 ISR GEPs. The Tactical Relays support Beyond Line of Site (BLOS) transport, which enables communication to remote or obstructed users. Tactical Relays increase the speed of transfer of real-time video for targeting orders. • Block 3 ISR Ground Entry Points (GEPs): The GEPs are fixed terminals, satellite modems, IP transport devices and TRANSEC devices. Numerous unique terminals, modems, switching systems and protected transport of FMV from Block 5 Sensor Platforms and Block 2 Tactical Relays to Block 1 Systems for dissemination. • Block 4 AISR Operations (organic and with Mission Partners): The purpose of Block 4 is to provide a common operational picture for DoD Satellite transport. This joint venture coordinates support from the DISA Global Network Operations Security Center (GNOSC) and United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM)-supported network and satellite operations. FY 2024: $23.116M: • Block 1 Dissemination: $9.700M - Conducted tech refresh and software upgrades to two sites. This included bidirectional Common Data Link System (CDS), Unified Video Dissemination System (UVDS) Hubs, and additional operations equipment. Sites as requested by U.S. Army. • Block 2 Tactical Relays: $2.481M - Replaced 13 end of life Tactical Relay terminals. • Block 2 UKR Tactical Relays: $6.177M - Procured 10 new tactical relay terminals and networking equipment to support mission partners. • Block 3 ISR Ground Entry Points (GEPs): $4.758M - Procured two new Arclight modems for twelve total. Two modems were purchased in FY 2024 for installation in FY 2025. FY 2025: $11.812M: • Block 2 (Tactical Relays): $1.122M - Procurement of two tactical relay antennas that allow for airborne sensor data to be received on the ground for dissemination of that data to the end user. • Block 3 ISR Ground Entry Points (GEPs): $10.690M - Procurement of three Transport Network Systems (TNS) suites composed of multiple modems, servers, and other networking equipment to provide dedicated, segregated, and guaranteed bandwidth for transportation of airborne sensor data over terrestrial circuits. The requirement for this type of data transportation comes from the various JROCMs and an intelligence community memorandum. Explanation of Change from FY 2024 to FY 2025: -$11.304M - Decrease is primarily due to one-time FY 2024 Congressional increase for Block 1 AISR dissemination and one-time FY 2024 plus-up for Ukraine funding. FY 2026: $149.610M: • Block 2 (Tactical Relays): $1.127M - Procurement of two tactical relay antennas that allow for airborne sensor data to be received on the ground for dissemination of that data to the end user. • Block 3 (ISR Ground Entry Points): $10.690M - Procurement of three Transport Network Systems (TNS) suites composed of multiple modems, servers, and other networking equipment to provide dedicated, segregated, and guaranteed bandwidth for transportation of airborne sensor data over terrestrial circuits. The requirement for this type of data transportation comes from the various JROCMs and an intelligence community memorandum. Resilient Ground Infrastructure: $137.793M - The Gateway Optimization and Resiliency Study (GOaR) examined the readiness of the entire DoD SATCOM Enterprise. Procurement funding for AISR Resilient Ground Infrastructure (RGI) will modernize and improve the resiliency of the AISR ground capability around the world. These investments will improve the reliability and high availability of the AISR systems, enabling the delivery of tactical data to operational commanders and senior military leaders via Common Operating Pictures/ Common Intelligence Pictures. AISR is a core warfighter function that establishes lethality by enabling end-to-end collaborative oversight of mission execution through full integration with joint and coalition partners. To operationalize the GOaR recommendations, DISA will purchase the following types and quantities of equipment specific to the AISR. The implementation of Airborne ISR capabilities includes capabilities at 15 specific regional ground entry point (GEP) locations around the earth. A matrix showing the equipment being purchased for each specific site is available on request. • AISR Platform Modems: $71.800M - Based on lessons learned from the Ukraine Conflict, the current and future fight will incorporate an exponentially increasing number of Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS). Each UAS transmits the data it collects—often streaming video—via line-of-sight radio or SATCOM-enabled beyond-line-of-sight link. As the number of UAS increases, the number of modems in a Joint SATCOM Teleport required to support the increasing number of UAS will need to be increased to ensure the DoD can exploit this information. In FY 2026, DISA will install 1,125 platform modems at 15 ISR Block 3 GEP locations to interface between manned and unmanned platforms into the DISN. • Ka/Ku-band Terminals: $37.793M - DISA will modernize nine systems at six of the 15 Block 3 ISR GEPs. The goal is to increase redundancy and survivability across the AISR enterprise by geographically expanding the diversity. • Transport Network System (TNS) Expansion and Integration: $8.200M - The Transport Network System ensures high-definition video streams and other sensor data coming from both manned and unmanned aircraft enter the DISN to be routed to intelligence analysts to conduct processing, exploitation, and dissemination. In FY 2026, DISA will install and test 23 systems at 15 different ISR GEP locations. The goal is to increase redundancy and survivability across the AISR enterprise by geographically expanding the diversity. • Low Earth Orbit (LEO) Integration: $20.000M - Commercial LEO satellite constellations provide increased resiliency for the Warfighter by adding multi-orbit, low latency, high throughput capacity. DISA will procure equipment and engineer the solution to integrate commercial LEO networks into pre-planned DoD Teleport and Commercial point of presence (PoP) locations. Commercial LEO expands the routing options and therefore the reliability of the delivery of AISR and core DISN data to the Warfighters who need it. Explanation of Change from FY 2025 to FY 2026: $137.798M - The increase is primarily due to the initiation of the Resilient Ground Infrastructure initiative to extend the global reach of AISR and maintain the highest levels of readiness and preparedness to ensure that the military can respond effectively to any threat. AISR Rebuilds the Military by equipping the warfighter with a full picture of the battlespace and Reestablishes Deterrence by facilitating coordination with partners and allies to deter aggression. Defense Red Switch Network (DRSN) DISA purchases, installs, and integrates hardware across the EPC/SECN and DRSN networks to continually modernize DISA's classified communications networks to protect sensitive information and keep data confidential and secure. This hardware includes Cryptographic Devices, Session Border Controllers (SBCs), Routers, and other network equipment. DISA is replacing the SBCs and Routers because they are end of life/end of support; it is a cybersecurity policy violation to operate DoD systems on obsolete hardware that no longer receives cybersecurity updates. FY 2024: $8.321M: • Cryptographic Devices: $2.757M - Procured 128 cryptographic devices in support of replacement efforts. 380 total devices procured considering prior year and EPC/SECN purchases. • Oracle Session Border Controllers (SBC): $2.799M - Procured 120 Oracle SBC Units for installation at 46 sites. • Joint Cyber Implementation Program (JCIP): $1.049M - Installation labor associated with the Voice and NM Switch Tech Refresh Efforts (equipment purchased with prior year procurement). • DRSN Network Operation Center (NOC): $1.716M - Server and storage array hardware procurement for two centers. Split between FY 2024 and FY 2025 Funds. FY 2025: $8.511M: • Juniper Router: $4.185M - Procurement of 130 of 130 devices for installation at 46 sites. Note: Procurement originally planned to be conducted with FY 2024 funds; however, DISA switched router models due to testing issues with the initial model and needs to complete testing prior to purchasing. DISA accelerated Oracle SBC and Cryptographic device purchases in FY 2024 to efficiently expend procurement funds. • JCIP: $0.500M - Installation support for Oracle SBCs. JCIP covers installation only. • DRSN Network Operation Center (NOC): $3.826M - Server and storage array hardware procurement for two centers. EPC/SECN to fund integration. Split between FY 2024 and FY 2025 funds. Explanation of Change from FY 2024 to FY 2025: $0.190M - Increase due to the costs associated with the procurement of routers and NOC hardware. FY 2026: $8.410M: • JCIP: $1.984M - Installation labor fees to install SBCs and Routers at 23 of 46 sites in FY 2026. JCIP covers installation only. Due to procurement lead times and delivery, the Juniper Routers and Oracle Session Border Controllers (SBCs) will be ready for installation in FY 2026. • DRSN Integration Contractor Labor: $6.426M - Projected contractor support for implementation/integration labor required to integrate Juniper routers and SBCs at 13 of 46 sites. EPC/SECN will cover integration labor for another 8 sites in FY 2026. Explanation of Change from FY 2025 to FY 2026: -$0.101M - Decrease is due to focus on installation and integration vice purchasing equipment. Internet Protocol (IP) Enabling FY 2024: $0.000M - N/A FY 2025: $3.994M - In FY 2025, the IP Enabling project will be established to provide technology refresh of the end-of-life equipment supporting the Domain Name System (DNS) for the G-Root internet level services. The upgrades will address both .mil domains on NIPR and smil/.sgov on the SIPR, across eight continental (CONUS) and outside the contiguous United States (OCONUS) sites. Explanation of Change from FY 2024 to FY 2025: $3.994M - Increase due to the decentralization of the Technology Refresh program. DISA realigned funds to IP Enabling in support of end-of-life driven HW tech refresh of the DNS for the G-Root internet level services. FY 2026: $0.672M - IP Enabling will provide a technology refresh of the end-of-life accessories and peripherals supporting the DoDNIC Enterprise at all 14 sites, which include G-Root, .Mil proxy, ERS (Enterprise Recursive Service), UEM (User Experience Monitoring), and COOP (Continuity of Operations). Explanation of Change from FY 2025 to FY 2026: -$3.322M - Decrease is due to accessories and peripherals costing less than the equipment supporting the DNS. Multi-Level Secure Video and Voice (MLSV2) MLSV2 is a key program to modernize DoD secure conferencing capabilities to meet not only current National and Military leadership mission essential functions for Command and Control and Decision-Making but also current and future technology and security requirements.

FY 2024: $9.150M: • Starlink terminals: $7.260M - Procured 2,500 Starlink portable user terminals (PUTs) in accordance with PL No 118-50. • Accessories: $1.890M - Planned purchase of additional accessories such as pelican cases in support of the Starlink PUTs deployed in Ukraine. FY 2025: $0.000M - This program did not receive funding in FY 2025. Explanation of Change from FY 2024 to FY 2025: -$9.150M - Decrease is due to one-time Congressional increase for purchase of Starlink terminals in support of Ukraine Public Law 118-50. FY2026: $0.000M - This program did not receive funding in FY 2026. DISN Resiliency (formerly Hypercore) FY 2024: $0.000M - N/A FY 2025: $35.000M - Supports DISN Reconfiguration efforts through the DISN Resiliency (formerly Hypercore) program whose details and mission are classified. Details are available on request. Explanation of Change FY 2024 to FY 2025: $35.000M - Increase because DISN Resiliency (formerly Hypercore) is a new initiative. FY 2026: $50.749M - Supports the DISN Reconfiguration efforts through the DISN Resiliency (formerly Hypercore) program whose details and mission are classified. Details are available on request.
