## What project 675920 buys

The Advanced Capabilities for Missile Enhancement (ACME) program supports enhancements to ICBM operations. More information is available at higher classification levels. In FY2026, BPAC 675920, Next Generation Reentry Capabilities (NGRC) encompassed efforts to design, develop, produce, and deploy new payload system suites (reentry vehicles and/or capabilities) In FY2027, BPAC 675920 was renamed Advanced Capability for Missile Enhancement (ACME) NGRC funding stayed within BPAC 675920. FY2027 continues to support the enabling functions of ACME to include but is not limited to Prime support and studies, engineering support, security support, direct program support costs and information technology. 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 element 0605827F, 0605828F, 0605829F, 0605831F, 0605832F, 0605833F, 0605898F, 0606398F.

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

### ACME Acquisition Activities

**FY2027 planned work.** • Award contract to Prime to develop ICBM capabilities. More details are available at higher classification levels.

**FY2026 to FY2027 change.** No significant increases/decreases between FY2026 and FY2027

**FY2026 plans — current year.** • Award follow on Prime contract to perform studies and develop design reference architecture • Continue enabling function support leading to future acquisition activities

## What is NOT on this page

Congressional marks, the R-2 mission description and acquisition strategy, the industry vs government split of the whole request, and related program elements are recorded at **program-element** grain — an NDAA mark lands on a PE, never on a project.
