> **NEW START.** $48.8M requested in FY2027 with no prior-year and no current-year funding.

## Summary

This activity requests $48.8M in FY2027, 97% of project DB3 — a new start with no prior-year and no current-year money. The R-2A exhibit describes it across FY2027, including what the FY2027 money is planned to buy.

## What the FY2027 request buys

**FY2027 planned work.** Will mature concepts, designs and development of radar sensor technologies to enable multi-mission capability that addresses advanced and emerging threats; establish an integration team to mature, optimize and validate system performance to reduce cost and technical risk using modeling and simulation, virtual test beds, as well as interaction and feedback with the user and industry community; optimize and validate advanced radar modes through digital characterization; characterize and validate Radio Frequency (RF) transceiver solutions to support a multi-mission scaled architecture; integrate and demonstrate digital prototypes in soldier touchpoints and relevant environments to obtain early user validation of capability and incorporate design changes resulting from user input; characterize and validate multiple industry concepts, solutions and system demonstrators to support optimization of requirements and performance to accelerate delivery of multi-mission radar capability.

**FY2026 to FY2027 change.** Funding increase reflects acceleration of next generation multi-mission fires radar development resulting in optimized performance with increased flexibility and reduced logistics burden and cost.

## Funding

| Fiscal Year | Estimate Type | Amount ($M) |
|---|---|---|
| FY2027 | Request | 48.8 |

> 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.
