## Summary

This activity requests $84.1M in FY2027, 17% of project MT05, up 109% on FY2026. The R-2A exhibit describes it across FY2026–FY2027, including what the FY2027 money is planned to buy.

## What the FY2027 request buys

**FY2027 planned work.** - IRBM T1/T2 - continue manufacture and qualification to support missions in FY 2027 (1 target), FY 2028 (1 target), FY 2029 (3 targets), FY 2030 (1 target), and FY 2031 (2 targets). - Initiate IRBM launch vehicle effects to accommodate MRBV-14 for the current Integrated Master Test Plan.

**FY2026 to FY2027 change.** Increase from FY 2026 to FY 2027 provides accelerated integration of contracted IRBM targets and transition of five (5) ICBM missions to IRBM missions, three (3) beyond FYDP and supports the new high frequency test strategy as documented in the current Integrated Master Test Plan.

## Before the request year

**FY2026 plans — current year.** - IRBM T1/T2 - complete qualification of Ship Set 9 to support pre-ship readiness review in FY 2026; continue development and manufacturing of Ship Sets Ship Sets 11-16 to support pre-ship readiness reviews in FY 2027 (Ship Set 11), in FY 2029 (Ship Sets 12 and 13), in FY 2030 (Ship Sets 14 and 15), and beyond the FYDP (Ship Set 16). - Continue development of new re-entry vehicles to meet the evolving IRBM threat, including designs to support future Next Generation Interceptor IRBM testing.
