## What the FY2027 request buys

**FY2027 planned work.** Continue SiAW missile test support, purchase of test equipment, target fabrication and CAD modeling, and funding range/aircraft/ground support. Accreditation of target/threat emitter acquisition to include weapons cybersecurity support and test investments, and qualification and certification of the new FTS.

**FY2026 to FY2027 change.** Funding increased due to expansion of SiAW test efforts to support increased test preparation activities and test events such as FTS certification, modeling and simulation analysis, impact predictions and analysis, relevant target acquisition to include fabrication, building target set threat models, and increased test range, control room and aircraft preparations to include configuring hardware for proper target tracking, data collection and security management necessary to capture and transfer required mission/test data.

## Before the request year

**FY2026 plans — current year.** Continued SiAW missile test support, purchased test equipment, continued target construction, and funded range/ground/Test aircraft and maintenance support.
