LCAC is funded on 3 lines across 3 appropriations
This page shows $1.5M of LCAC, 2.5% of the program's $62.0M FY2027 request. The rest is appropriated elsewhere.
| Also funded here | Type | Component | FY2027 $M |
|---|---|---|---|
| LCAC SLEP | Procurement | Navy | 38.0 |
| LCAC | Procurement | Navy | 22.5 |
| LCAC total | Navy | 62.0 |
Lines whose title names the program. 7 further lines only mention LCAC in their justification text — those fund something else and are deliberately excluded from the total.
Congressional marks
Committee marks on the FY2027 request. Adds and cuts are reconciled in conference before they become law.
Where the FY2027 request goes
Performers named in the R-3 exhibit, resolved into industry, government-lab, and unspecified shares. Budget-justification contract funding, not obligations.
| Where FY2027 funding flows | Share | $M |
|---|---|---|
| Government labs & warfare centers | 13% | 0.2 |
| Other / unspecified | 87% | 1.3 |
| FY2027 request | 100% | 1.5 |
Mission & acquisition strategy
Landing Craft, Air Cushion (LCAC): Research and development efforts to transfer technologies into functional uses on the current LCACs. Current technology initiatives include sustainability/reliability/readiness/performance analyses, LCAC communication improvements, compliance with Cybersecurity policy regulations, and LCAC Total Ownership Costs (TOC) reduction initiatives. Landing Craft, Utility (LCU 1700): Replacement program for the current LCU 1610 class craft - a class of craft that has exceeded its 25-year planned service life by more than double, average age of craft is over 50-years-old. LCU 1700 will provide similar payload, range, speed, and interoperability.
The projects identified in this budget have been carefully selected to respond to a series of extended user evaluations of commercial off the shelf (COTS) equipment by the warfighter with the goal of developing requirements for future additive manufacturing capabilities that will meet unique logistics alternatives. This effort will be executed by members of the expeditionary programs office in collaboration with various naval warfare centers and partners in the expeditionary additive manufacturing community of practice, and in conjunction with end users at the appropriate Type Commands.

The R-2A exhibit. Activities carry the prior, current and budget year only — no five-year plan — and they are descriptive: coverage is partial and they do not always add back to the project, so count them, never total them.
FY2027 planned work LCAC: - Continue to improve reliability and maintainability of the LCAC Hull, Mechanical & Electrical (HM&E) systems. - Maintain compliance with cybersecurity directives and mandates. LCU: - Continue risk reduction efforts, which support Life Cycle/Total Ownership Cost (TOC) reductions for the class. - Continue Developmental Testing & Operational Testing (DT/OT) including production acceptance inspections and certifications.
FY2026 to FY2027 change The FY 2027 funding increase is due to the FY 2026 movement of funds from discretionary to mandatory (reconciliation) funding. FY2027 budget increased from FY2026 funds to align with current LCU testing events.

FY2026 plans — current year Project 2477 NECC Additive Manufacturing under PE 0204413N has reorganized to Project 0314 Expeditionary Advanced Manufacturing under PE 0604286N for FY 2026 and out.
What project 2477 buys
NECC Additive Manufacturing: In accordance with the National Defense Strategy (NDS), A Design for Maintaining Maritime Superiority 2.0, and Navy Facility Command (NAVFAC) Strategic Design 2.0, this program provides the Navy with new capabilities to enable resilient and agile logistics thru additive manufacturing (AM). Investing in AM enhances the fleet's ability to conduct operational logistics in a contested environment and ensures logistics supportability across the austere distributed battlespace. AM technology results in increased operational availability, on demand production of critical systems, and supply chain cost savings. This effort will identify critical parts suitable for AM production in the field; identify AM systems appropriate to produce and certify critical parts in the field; analyze and identify AM system implications across doctrine, organization, training, materiel, leadership and education, personnel, facilities and policy (DOTMLPF-P); conduct end-user training, field experimentation, and fleet exercise technology insertion to validate AM system capability and systems integration issues.
