What project CO6 buys
This funding line is directly aligned to the Army Air and Missile Defense Modernization Priority. The Directed Energy Integrated Fires Protection Capability (DE-IFPC) High Power Microwave (HPM) is a Counter-Unmanned Aircraft Systems (C-UAS) capability consisting of HPM prototypes with residual combat capability in support of Multi-Domain Operations (MDO). The IFPC-HPM program provides the Army with HPM prototype weapon systems of various designs for short-range defense against single Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) and swarms. IFPC-HPM funds an improved mechanism to effectively confront emerging threats and advance the United States' military dominance in accordance with the 2025 Interim National Defense Strategy. Efforts include development, acquisition, test and evaluation, assessment, maturation, and future transition of prototype technologies to an acquisition program.

Project CO6 funding, FY2025–FY2026
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 | 33.9 |
| FY2026 | Enacted | 41.8 |

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. Coverage is partial across the corpus, so count activities, never total them.
FY2026 to FY2027 change FY 2027 program decrease to fund Army priority efforts.
FY2026 plans — current year FY 2026 funds will support evaluation, demonstration and assessment for various HPM systems; to include the addition of up to four (4) systems of various designs; continue CONUS/OCONUS CLS; and prepare for a potential transition of prototype technologies to a formal acquisition program to include SEPM and associated program effort advancing directed energy.
FY2025 accomplishments Will support issuance of the residual combat capability to a unit, new threat target software updates, and Contractor Logistics Support (CLS) which facilitates continued operational assessment and a potential future transition to an acquisition program.
