Perform modeling and simulation to support requirements development and initial design, code, integrate and test engineering functions in BMD 5.2.4. Support continued PAC-3 integration and development with BMD 5.2.5 (Aegis BL 9.C3.5).

**FY2026 to FY2027 change.** Increase from FY 2026 to FY2027 provides for the delivery of the BMD 5.2.2 (Aegis BL 9.C3.2), commencement of the BMD 5.2.3 (Aegis BL BL9.C3.3) and commencement of PAC-3 integration with BMD 5.2.4 (Aegis BL 9.C3.4) in support of the U.S. Navy.
