## Summary

This activity requests $94.2M in FY2027, 100% of project DM5, up 18707% on FY2026. The R-2A exhibit describes it across FY2026–FY2027, including what the FY2027 money is planned to buy.

## What the FY2027 request buys

**FY2027 planned work.** Will continue to define and document operational objectives based on mission analysis; continue to perform modeling and simulation to refine desired system performance characteristics; select multiple industry partner missile system concepts for further technology maturation; conduct an initial design review for each missile concept; evaluate each industry partners proposed program for achieving desired system level performance; evaluate proposed missile system concepts technology readiness levels, claimed performance versus desired system performance, and assess system level risks.

**FY2026 to FY2027 change.** Funding increase reflects additional research for modeling and simulation and maturation of system design and the strategic realignment of resources to support evolving priorities and objectives.

## Before the request year

**FY2026 plans — current year.** Will focus on mission analysis and system design; conduct operational analysis and concept definition refinement to determine performance metrics and goals for technology and component advanced development.

## Funding

| Fiscal Year | Estimate Type | Amount ($M) |
|---|---|---|
| FY2026 | Enacted | 0.5 |
| FY2027 | Request | 94.2 |

> 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.
