> **NEW START.** $205.7M requested in FY2027 with no prior-year and no current-year funding.

## Summary

This activity requests $205.7M in FY2027, 100% of project MD29 — a new start with no prior-year and no current-year money. 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.** Leverage and Upgrade Existing Systems: - Continue engineering, planning, and foundational upgrades to land and sea-based capability to support acceleration of regional and homeland Aegis Glide Phase Interceptor capability. - Provide BOA and C2BMC algorithm development and prototyping for low latency tracks as foundational efforts to support Glide Phase Interceptor Hypersonic Defense efforts. - Provide software processing improvements to enable low latency fire control tracking. - Purchase materials to support needed BOA and C2BMC upgrades to support hypersonic defense and Glide Phase Interceptor fire control tracking.

**FY2026 to FY2027 change.** The increase includes the transfer of funding from R-2a Accomplishment (Regional Hypersonic Missile Defense Capability) to this R-2a Accomplishment (Hypersonic Missile Defense Capability) to better reflect the regional and homeland defense capability of the Glide Phase Interceptor. The increase also provides for C2BMC and BOA support for hypersonic low latency tracking and Battle Management to enable glide phase defense capability from an Aegis ship.
