What project CS1 buys
The FY 2026 spend plan amount for M-SHORAD Inc 3 includes $236.149 million of discretionary and $60.150 million of mandatory (reconciliation) for a total of $209.406 million. This funding line is directly aligned to the Army Air and Missile Defense Modernization Priority. Increment 3 will provide a Next Generation Short Range Interceptor (NGSRI) to replace the existing Stinger missile. The new interceptor will improve targeting capabilities to acquire targets with increased lethality and range, providing increased protection to the maneuver formations at a reduced cost. Additionally, the NGSRI will be compatible with the existing SGT STOUT platform, formerly known as M-SHORAD Increment 1, and will provide a Soldier Portable Capability to meet the need for dismounted Air Defense. Increment 3 will integrate the SGT STOUT platform with the NGSRI and the new 30mm Multi-Mode Proximity Airburst (MMPA) ammunition. FY 2027 supports continued system development, integration and developmental testing. The total cost of the M-SHORAD Inc 3 MTA effort is $816.100 million RDT&E from FY 2023 to FY 2028. M-SHORAD Inc. 3 is fully funded across the Future Years Defense Program.

Project CS1 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.
| Fiscal Year | Estimate Type | Amount ($M) |
|---|---|---|
| FY2025 | Actual | 182.0 |
| FY2026 | Enacted | 149.3 |
| FY2027 | Request | 215.1 |
| FY2028 | Outyear | 69.6 |
| FY2029 | Outyear | 37.0 |
| FY2030 | Outyear | 4.3 |

2 accomplishments / planned programs
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. 1 of them 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.
Complete Developmental Testing, continue building prototype missiles for Operational Assessment, and residual operational capability. Begin Operational Assessment.
Read the FY2027 plan →FY2027 planned work Complete integration and development effort, conduct testing of MMPA onto SGT STOUT.
FY2026 to FY2027 change The FY2027 funding increase is due to a culminating test firing event upon the completion of MMPA hardware and software integration onto the SGT STOUT system.
FY2026 plans — current year Continue integration efforts. Funding purchases the interface specifications, initiates development of SGT STOUT software upgrades and initiates building of the prototype platform integration hardware.
FY2025 accomplishments Funding initiates the integration effort with the SGT STOUT Original Equipment Manufacturer that will enable the full capability of the NGSRI and 30mm MMPA. The program will provide funds to develop hardware required to support integration of the 30mm ammunition onto the SGT STOUT platform.
Named performers on project CS1
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.
