## What project 675921 buys

The Next Generation Reentry Vehicle (NGRV) program will design, develop, produce, and deploy new payload system suites (reentry vehicles and countermeasures) and integrate them into ICBM weapon systems. Key next generation payload attributes include enhancements in accuracy and lethality. NGRV and associated advanced countermeasure capabilities are based on emerging threats, warfighter priorities, and development capacity. Program activities will also include the employment of digital acquisitions through the application of digital engineering, agile software development, and open systems architectures. The NGRV program will leverage investments by the ICBM Demonstration/Validation program, the Science & Technology community, and Navy reentry systems application program. In FY2026 NGRV efforts were accomplished under BPAC 675920 Next Generation Reentry Capabilities. In FY2027 NGRV BPAC (675921) was created, providing further visibility and traceability. FY2027 funding supports early acquisition activities that lead to competitive contract awards for NGRV development. NGRV will develop digital models and perform early prototyping to prepare for acquisition activities and to strengthen the atrophied industrial base, posturing the nation to counter adversary threats both projected and unforeseen. This strategy enables a diverse pool of vendors to contribute to the development of materiel solutions, which support mission requirements that combat future and immediate threats to drive ultimate effectiveness requirements for the weapon system. This funding includes program management support, operational concept exploration, technology trade studies, operational and system architecture development, maturation and risk reduction of RV/countermeasure-related technologies, including weapons system and integrated system concept development/demonstration.

**R-3 lines of work:** Product Development.

## 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.
