What project DL1 buys
The DL1 project code funds efforts to enhance Extended Range Guided Multiple Launch Rocket System (ER-GMLRS) rockets and common components. The Army is requesting funding for ER-GMLRS Research, Development, Test and Evaluation (RDT&E) development, integration, and test activities to enhance operational capabilities including increased range, improved lethality and survivability, enhanced flight performance, and Assured Positioning, Navigation and Timing (APNT). FY 2027 funding initiates ER-GMLRS EAW software development and system integration efforts to procure test articles to support system level development and qualification.

The R-2A exhibit — the only level of the budget that describes work that has not happened yet. Activities carry the prior, current and budget year only, no five-year plan. Coverage is partial across the corpus, so count activities, never total them.
FY2027 planned work Initiate procurement of test articles and software development to support integration and testing requirements of the EAW capability into ER-GMLRS munition. Conduct initial baseline review and system requirement review.
FY2026 to FY2027 change Funding increase due to the initiation of EAW integration into ER-GMLRS in FY 2027.
FY2026 to FY2027 change Funding decrease due to completion of the ER-GMLRS SMPS redesign qualification in FY 2026.
FY2026 plans — current year Complete system level qualification of the ER-GMLRS with redesigned SMPS.
FY2026 to FY2027 change Funding decrease due to completion of the qualification of the EAW modification on the standard range GMLRS rocket in FY 2026.
FY2026 plans — current year Complete system qualification, including launcher and rocket operational flight software development, for GMLRS as a necessary step prior to integration of EAW into ER-GMLRS.
