What project EG3 buys
The U.S. Army continues to explore ways to enhance Guided Multiple Launch Rocket System (GMLRS) rockets and common components under Project EG3: Guided MLRS. The Army is requesting funding for 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 continues APNT development activities.

Project EG3 funding, FY2025–FY2031
Prior years are actuals, the budget year is the request, and the outyears are the FYDP plan. Estimate types are colored and never summed into one figure. Projects carry the full five-year plan; the activities inside them stop at the budget year.
| Fiscal Year | Estimate Type | Amount ($M) |
|---|---|---|
| FY2025 | Actual | 19.8 |
| FY2026 | Enacted | 2.5 |
| FY2027 | Request | 54.1 |
| FY2028 | Outyear | 63.9 |

3 accomplishments / planned programs
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. 1 of them describes FY2027 work in enough detail to have its own page; the rest are shown here in full. Coverage is partial across the corpus, so count activities, never total them.
FY 2027 continues the development and integration of an anti-jam module into the GMLRS and ER-GMLRS rockets to enable an initial anti-jam capability. FY 2027 funds also initiate studies, analyses, and performance specification development for hybrid software defined receiver to provide an adaptable solution for evolving threats.
Read the FY2027 plan →FY2025 accomplishments Complete component level design through critical design review (CDR), engineering development flight testing, and system level CDR. Completion of these activities will allow the program to transition to integration activities supporting ground and flight qualification tests. Software testing and materiel release activities will be ongoing for required Type Classification (TC) and Full Materiel Release (FMR) package submission supporting EAW production.
FY2025 accomplishments Continue redesign and qualification of the new SMPS to include design verification testing and system qualification. Continues launcher software development support. Build flight termination systems to support operational test flights in FY 2026.
