What project 3440 buys
This project provides the engineering development and program management effort required to sustain Non-Propulsion Electronic Systems (NPES) outfitting of each ship of the COLUMBIA Class throughout the duration of the 12-ship construction program. Non-recurring engineering activity is required to ensure specification compliant components are available for procurement as fleet common sub-systems, which evolve over the life of the program due to either competitive selection of new suppliers, component obsolescence replacement, increased technical performance, or improvements in reliability. Non-recurring engineering activity is needed to perform platform integration of the components, and software modification to accommodate electronic data exchange, COLUMBIA unique submarine environment qualification, and update of all logistics products.

Project 3440 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 | 21.3 |
| FY2026 | Enacted | 19.1 |
| FY2027 | Request | 22.0 |
| FY2028 | Outyear | 21.9 |
| FY2029 | Outyear | 22.5 |
| FY2030 | Outyear | 22.7 |
| FY2031 | Outyear | 23.2 |

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 describes FY2027 work in enough detail to have its own page; the rest are shown here in full. Coverage is partial across the corpus, so count activities, never total them.
- Complete NPES whole ship testing DOCKSIDE. - Complete NPES/SWS integration testing DOCKSIDE. - Incorporate laboratory proven NPES re-architecture features in TI-28 configuration GFI design changes.

Performers named in the R-3 exhibit under this project. Share is of the project's whole FY2027 R-3 total — the same denominator the program-element split uses, so the two read on one scale and will not sum to 100% when unnamed or government work is in the mix. Budget-justification contract funding, not obligations.
