What project MD34 buys
Israeli SRBMD, also known as the DSWS, is designed to counter short range rockets, air breathing threats, medium caliber rockets, and theater ballistic missiles, and is integrated into the Israeli Missile Defense Architecture. The DSWS includes the Stunner Interceptor (Electro-Optical variant), a Missile Firing Unit, a Multi-Mission Radar - Next Generation (MMR-NG), a Launch Site Controller, a Ground Data Link (GDL), and the Golden Almond Battle Management Center (GA BMC). The DSWS can be deployed in a variety of configurations to support the intended mission. The DSWS Block 3 capability expands the range and threat versatility of the system by adding the All Weather Stunner Interceptor, improving the MMR-NG, upgrades to GDL and increasing the capacity of the GA BMC. The U.S. and State of Israel entered into a Memorandum of Understanding on September 2016, in which "Such funding, should over a ten year period beginning in FY 2019 and ending in FY 2028, be provided at a level of $500 million per year." (U.S. contributions only). These funds will be distributed between the Israeli Programs in Research Development Test & Evaluation and Procurement Funds.

Project MD34 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 | 127.0 |
| FY2026 | Enacted | 127.0 |

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. Coverage is partial across the corpus, so count activities, never total them.
FY2027 planned work - Conduct Block 3.2 System Requirements Review. - Initiate Block 4.0 concept definition. - Continue Initial Lot Production of All-weather Stunner. - Continue Full Rate Electro-Optical Stunner production.
FY2026 plans — current year - Continue Block 3.15 Development (Systems Requirements Review and Preliminary Design Review). - Initiate Initial Lot Production of All-weather Stunner. - Conduct Block 3.2 System Requirements Review.
Named performers on project MD34
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.
