## Summary

This activity requests $20.4M in FY2027, 2.4% of project 3097, up 192% on FY2026. The R-2A exhibit describes it across FY2026–FY2027, including what the FY2027 money is planned to buy.

## What the FY2027 request buys

**FY2027 planned work.** - Integrate Mk7 capability into Fire Control system including software updates, system modifications, performance parameter integration, and interface requirements development. - Update Fire Control targeting algorithms, databases, and Mission Planning systems to accommodate Mk7 reentry body characteristics, trajectory planning, and operational constraints. - Execute Fire Control system testing, validation, and performance analysis to verify Mk7 integration impacts on targeting accuracy and overall weapon system effectiveness. - Support Fire Control system certification and acceptance testing including operator procedure updates, documentation, and demonstration of full Mk7 operational capability.

**FY2026 to FY2027 change.** The requested $13.417 million funding increase is required for software development and testing necessary for full Mk7 system integration. This FY 2027 funding will support comprehensive Fire Control system modifications, including updates to targeting algorithms and Mission Planning systems to accommodate the Mk7's characteristics. These efforts, which also include full system testing, validation, and certification activities, to support the development flight tests scheduled for FY 2028.

## Before the request year

**FY2026 plans — current year.** - Continue the development and refinement of the Fire Control software revision planned for future flight tests. - Implement new functionalities and address deficiencies in the existing software based on ongoing testing and analysis. - Conduct rigorous software testing, including unit testing, integration testing, and system-level testing, to ensure robustness and reliability.
