**R-2A activity** of project CZ8 — PrSM Modular Payload Advanced Development  
**Program element:** 0603464A — Long Range Precision Fires Advanced Technology  
**Component:** U.S. Army · **Budget Activity:** 3  
**Vintage:** President's Budget PB2027

## Summary

This activity requests $41.6M in FY2027, 18% of project CZ8, up 315% on FY2026. The R-2A exhibit describes it across FY2025–FY2027, including what the FY2027 money is planned to buy.

## What the FY2027 request buys

**FY2027 planned work.** Will mature submunition guidance, targeting, and collaboration algorithms through Hardware-in-the-loop testing, validate submunition dispense mechanism from PrSM with two dynamic dispense demonstrations, refine the high-fidelity six-degree of freedom model, and conduct design reviews. Mature Tactical Overmatch Missile Technology (TOMT) conceptual designs to verify system performance in degraded and contested environments. Mature TOMT Government test bed capability with data collected from relevant environment. Provide most promising technologies for further demonstration and maturation that mitigate capability gaps in extending range and providing lethality overmatch and begin collaboration and planning for future line of sight and beyond line-of-sight demonstrations.

**FY2026 to FY2027 change.** Funding increase reflects ramp up in industry development and maturation of components for PrSM Modular payload, and maturation of technology to increase lethality and range for expanded maneuver

## Before the request year

**FY2026 plans — current year.** Will mature submunition component technologies to include warhead performance, submunition guidance and targeting, and autonomous collaboration algorithms; mature dispense system designs through high-fidelity six-degree of freedom model development; perform design reviews; and demonstrate autonomous collaborative engagement on a surrogate airframe.

**FY2025 accomplishments.** Will optimize components for modular payloads such as submunition guidance, six-degree of freedom model development, sensor packaging and algorithms, warhead performance, and airframe design; conduct wind tunnel demonstrations to optimize aerodynamic design; perform quantitative analysis on six-degree-of-freedom simulations against scenario specific vignettes.

## Funding

| Fiscal Year | Estimate Type | Amount ($M) |
|---|---|---|
| FY2025 | Actual | 2.8 |
| FY2026 | Enacted | 10.0 |
| FY2027 | Request | 41.6 |

> Prior, current and budget year only — an R-2A activity carries no five-year plan. It sums exactly into its project in the request year and not necessarily in any other.
