What project 641020 buys
The Guidance Applications Program (GAP) studies and assesses both legacy and future ICBM Guidance System technology applications. Efforts are focused on current and future requirements and technologies, reduced life-cycle costs, and increased nuclear safety and surety. Activities leverage the efforts of the science and technology community and are coordinated with the Navy strategic applications program to enhance synergy and avoid duplication. Key elements include developing responsive technologies with common applications for future strategic guidance capabilities. This program also includes any needed nuclear surety, certification, and system vulnerability assessments. This program element may include necessary civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver weapon system capability. The use of such program funds would be in addition to the civilian pay expenses budgeted in program element 0605827F, 0605828F, 0605829F, 0605831F, 0605832F, 0605833F, 0605898F, 0606398F. In FY 2025 0M was expended for civilian pay expenses in this program element, and in FY 2026 0M is forecasted for civilian pay expenses in this program element.

Project 641020 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.

|---|---|---|
| FY2025 | Actual | 26.6 |
| FY2026 | Enacted | 25.4 |
| FY2027 | Request | 28.4 |
| FY2028 | Outyear | 45.5 |
| FY2029 | Outyear | 32.7 |
| FY2030 | Outyear | 36.8 |

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.
•Continue Experimental Flight Test (EFT3) efforts to provide ICBM launches for testing experimental guidance and mission-enabling technologies to support advancement of low-technology readiness level technology maturation. •Continue radiation-hardened advanced microelectronics to ensure availability of electronics that can provide…

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.
