### Project 0981 — AMRAAM

This Air Force/Navy program is structured in response to the Joint Service Operational Requirement Document and Mission Element Need Statement to develop an air superiority air-to-air missile with significant improvements in operational utility and combat effectiveness. This program supports the integration of AMRAAM into Navy aircraft with analysis of Navy unique applications, aircraft missile integration tasks, product improvement efforts including missile software upgrade development and procurement of hardware to support Navy test and evaluation tasks. Funding in FY 2025 through FY 2031 supports the System Improvement Program (SIP) and Navy unique Test & Evaluation (T&E) for software fielding.

**Named R-3 performers** (share of this project's FY2027 R-3 total, so they need not reach 100%)**:** RTX / Raytheon (17.1, 69%), NAWCWD (7.2, 29%), COMOPTEVFOR (0.3, 1.1%), NAWCAD (0.1, 0.4%).

| Activity (R-2A) | FY2025 | FY2026 | FY2027 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Test and Evaluation | 11.2 | 10.1 | 7.5 |
| System Improvement Program (SIP) Efforts | 18.1 | 16.2 | 17.2 |

> R-2A activities carry the prior, current and budget year only — no five-year plan. Coverage is partial, so count them, never total them.

## Where the FY2027 request goes

## Mission & acquisition strategy

The Department encourages additional vendor participation in the design, development, and production of alternative weapons systems to meet current and future warfighting requirements. With current major weapons systems production at capacity, the nation is looking for alternative systems to fill these gaps. The Department is implementing diverse procurement strategies to enable rapid acquisition. These will include the use of Other Transaction Authorities, 'Marketplace' acquisition platforms, and alternative concepts to increase supply and suppliers in addition to traditional FAR-based procurement strategies.

AMRAAM production procurements will continue across the Future Years Defense Program with periodic pre-planned technical design refreshes and value engineering change proposals. AMRAAM's Acquisition Program Baseline was updated on 28 Oct 2015. AMRAAM's Acquisition Strategy Report was updated on 16 May 2018. SIP development efforts continually mature capabilities through software and/or hardware upgrades to maximize missile performance to address current and emerging threats. These missile performance improvements are incrementally fielded ensuring inventory viability into the future. SIP development contracts are cost type efforts.
