## What project 4033 buys

The M-Code (ACAT IVT) Increment I program upgrades the Tactical Tomahawk to the next generation Global Positioning System (GPS) satellite constellation required to maintain GPS-provided position, navigation, and timing (PNT) for the missiles utilizing M-Code capable Anti-Jam GPS Receiver (AGR5) and is planned for Milestone C production decision in FY 2028 and Initial Operating Capability (IOC) in FY 2030. AGR software and hardware development delays resulted in a schedule breach to the TACTOM M-Code APB Milestone C threshold of February 2026. This resulted in realignment of FY 2026 funds for Pre-Production/Proof of Design and Proof of Manufacturing units. The M-Code mandate and Public Law restricts the purchase of only M-Code-capable GPS User Equipment (MGUE) after FY 2017 unless a waiver is granted by the Secretary of Defense.

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

## Named R-3 performers

| Performer | $M | Share of this project's FY2027 R-3 total |

| RTX / Raytheon | 10.3 | 77% |
| NAWC-AD | 1.2 | 9.3% |
| NAWC-WD | 0.1 | 0.7% |

> Budget-justification contract funding, not obligations. Shares need not reach 100% — unnamed and government work is in the denominator.

## Activities (R-2A) — 1

> Activities carry the prior, current and budget year only — no five-year plan. In the request year they partition this project exactly; in earlier years they can under-cover it.

### M-Code

FY 2027 M-Code planned activities include completion of EMD. EMD efforts include Proof of Manufacturing hardware and final software qualification, and achieve Security Approval of an M-Code capable Tactical Tomahawk (TACTOM) AGR5.

## 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.
