Such a capability will require a more robust level of protection against cyberattacks as adversaries grow in their ability to take down systems through jamming and other electronic warfare capabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The strategy to disarm enemy systems using jamming and electronic attack already plays a major role in war gaming against possible peer adversaries in the future. Using cyber and electronic attack is seen, at times, as the first line of offense to take down enemy air defense systems, so as to allow the injection of friendly forces into denied territory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And since that\u2019s part of the strategy to penetrate enemy systems, it will be and already is a part of the adversaries\u2019 strategies, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/defensenews\/smr\/federal-budget\/2018\/02\/13\/mda-99-billion-budget-request-geared-to-address-north-korean-threat\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"190\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/SM-3.png.png?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">MDA $9.9 billion budget request geared to address North Korean threat<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">As the North Korea threat looms, the U.S. Missile Defense Agency\u2019s $9.9 billion fiscal 2019 budget request gets a $2 billion boost over last year.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While House authorizers initially planned to provide roughly $100 million to cyber-harden missile defense systems. The final version of the NDAA to come out of conference committee only authorizes about half of that, cutting House plans to fund $45 million to address cyberthreats to the ballistic missile defense terminal defense segment of the BMD framework.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But the lawmakers in charge of the purse strings want to spend twice as much as the NDAA would authorize, according to both the House and Senate FY19 spending bills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">House and Senate appropriators\u2019 funding lines for cyber-hardening missile defense systems are essentially identical, so it\u2019s likely the funding will withstand conference committee and come out in the final bill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to the Senate appropriations bill report, the committee is adding $100 million in funding to \u201cadvance the [Missile Defense Agency\u2019s] compliance with the Department of Defense Cybersecurity Discipline Implementation Plan to protect MDA systems in highly-contested cybersecurity threat environments.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Within that $100 million, House and Senate appropriators want $40 million in funds to increase cybersecurity for ballistic missile-enabling programs and another $16.2 for a cyber assessment of those programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside

and Iran.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another $5 million would help cyber-harden missile defense sensors, while $10 million would fund cybersecurity measures within the brains of the entire ballistic missile defense system \u2014 the BMD\u2019s Command and Control, Battle Management, and Communications system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An additional $20 million
