What project 622068 buys
This project investigates, develops, and evaluates conventional munitions guidance technologies to establish technical feasibility and military utility of innovative munition seekers, weapon aerodynamics, navigation and control, and guidance subsystem integration/simulation through integration by design and starting with desired mission effect to deliver war winning capabilities to defend the homeland, provide nuclear deterrence, and deliver force projection. Project payoffs include adverse-weather, Global Positioning System (GPS)-degraded and Global Positioning System-denied, networked, and autonomous precision munition guidance capability; increased number of kills per sortie; increased aerospace vehicle survivability; improved weapon reliability and affordability; and improved weapon survivability and effectiveness.
Project 622068 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 | 73.3 |
| FY2026 | Enacted | 62.8 |
| FY2027 | Request | 74.4 |
| FY2028 | Outyear | 80.5 |
| FY2029 | Outyear | 82.8 |
| FY2030 | Outyear | 83.8 |
| FY2031 | Outyear | 85.4 |

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. Each describe FY2027 work in enough detail to have their own page; the rest are shown here in full. Coverage is partial across the corpus, so count activities, never total them.
- Continue novel position, navigation, and timing technology development for weapons, focusing on robust and tailorable navigation for GPS degraded and denied environments with intent to insert into demonstration for weapon programs. Key areas of development include open architecture filter, sensor signal processing, single and…
