## What project 4034 buys

Maritime Strike Tomahawk (MST) modernization effort provides the capability to hit moving maritime targets through mid-course guidance via a third party or seeker mode, to a terminal seeker engagement. MST was designated an ACAT 1 subprogram in FY 2023. Early Operational Capability (EOC) planned in FY 2026. Program of Record will consist of a Quick Reaction Assessment (QRA) to support EOC fielding with continued EOC and IOC testing in FY 2026. This testing will validate seeker software algorithm updates, commensurate Weapons Control System (WCS) and Theater Mission Planning Center (TMPC) software updates.

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