HitchAI read

U.S. Navy funding ramps 131% to a $123.0M request in FY2027, sustained across the five-year plan. In the FY2027 defense authorization, the House funded it in full; the Senate funded it in full; House appropriators cut 8.0% (to $113.2M). General Dynamics leads the industry work, though an unusually large share flows to government labs and warfare centers.

The MK 48 ADCAP (Advanced Capability) Research, Development, Test and Evaluation (RDT&E) program executes incremental development of weapon performance improvements in two development product areas: (1) Advanced Processor Builds (APBs) (operational software), and (2) Torpedo Technology Insertions (TIs) (hardware). This Program Element (0205632N/0366) is tied to development programs that leverage a joint United States/Australia Armaments Cooperative Project (ACP) and develop MK 48 ADCAP technologies developed by the ONR and SCO.

Program detail

Mission & acquisition strategy

The MK 48 ADCAP (Advanced Capability) Research, Development, Test and Evaluation (RDT&E) program executes incremental development of weapon performance improvements in two development product areas:(1) Advanced Processor Builds (APBs) (operational software), and (2) Torpedo Technology Insertions (TIs) (hardware). This Program Element (0205632N/0366) is tied to development programs that leverage a joint United States/Australia Armaments Cooperative Project (ACP) and develop MK 48 ADCAP technologies developed by the Office of Naval Research (ONR) and Strategic Capabilities Office (SCO).

The MK 48 MOD 8 (APB 6/TI-1) acquisition strategy is to continue incrementally funding General Dynamics Mission Systems and L3Harris TI-1 hardware development contracts in support of engineering, developmental and operational testing. Future LRIP and FRP hardware contracts will be awarded to upgrade to complete operational testing and convert the entire inventory of MK 48 MOD 7 to MOD 8. The MK 48 MOD 9 (APB 7/TI-2) acquisition strategy is to continue to fund the Pennsylvania State University Applied Research Laboratory to complete prototype builds, testing and design refinements supporting industry transition. The program will also continue to fund industry manufacturing contracts, providing test articles for engineering and developmental testing.
