## Summary

Project 1267 — Compact Rapid Attack Weapon (CRAW) requests $89.1M in FY2027, 78% of the $114.3M requested for program element 0101226N, up 270% on FY2026. 1 R-2A activity decomposes the request. RTX / Raytheon is the largest named R-3 performer at $16.8M, 19% of the project's FY2027 R-3 total.

## What project 1267 buys

The CRAW Research, Development, Test & Evaluation (RDT&E) program will deliver a new very-lightweight torpedo capability to the Submarine Fleet that provides enhanced Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) and Anti-Torpedo Torpedo (ATT) mission capabilities. The CRAW development program leverages torpedo hardware developed by the Anti-Torpedo Torpedo Defense System (ATTDS) program and very-lightweight torpedo technologies developed by ONR. Two incremental hardware Technology Insertions (TIs), TI-1 and TI-2, will be used to deliver developmental prototypes to support Engineering, Development, and Operational Testing. The ASW and ATT capabilities will be delivered via two Advanced Processor Build (APB) software spirals. The ASW capability will be part of APB-1 and the ATT capability will be included in APB-2. The CRAW TI-1 effort is being executed as a Middle Tier of Acquisition (MTA) effort and will rapidly develop fieldable prototypes to demonstrate the new very-lightweight torpedo ASW capabilities in an operational environment. The TI-2 effort will update the TI-1 baseline to address obsolescence and improve producibility and supportability so that the CRAW capability can be fielded broadly across the submarine force. The TI-2 program is being executed as a post-Milestone B, ACAT III Major Capability Acquisition Program. The TI-2 program is being phased with the TI-1 effort so that the TI-2 program can fully leverage the TI-1 prototypes as proof of design hardware. This will reduce overall cost of the TI-2 program. LRIP units to support Operational Testing will also be delivered as part of TI-2. CRAW RDT&E funding also supports submarine launcher system upgrades and integration. Launcher system modifications will include development of launch capabilities from vertical and horizontal launch tubes. This includes the development of the Revolver launcher system that enables launch of multiple very-lightweight torpedoes from standard submarine torpedo tubes. The TI-2 program will develop and deliver proof of manufacturing prototypes that will be used to reduce risk associated with starting manufacturing and production of new very- lightweight torpedoes. The TI-2 prototypes will support Development Testing to collect data on performance, inform any refinement of hardware, and inform assessments of technical risks.

**R-3 lines of work:** Product Development; Test and Evaluation; Management Services.
