What project 3309 buys
The Common Carriage (CC) will reduce expendable countermeasures logistics footprints, reduce future development and procurement costs, and improve industrial base performance through DoW wide common expendable square form factor for the F/A-18E/F, EA-18G, MH-60R/S, P-8, CMV-22, CH-53K, and MV-22 platforms. Multi-Layered Obstructed Brokered (MOB) Hub and integrated Aircraft Survivability Equipment (iASE) capability for F/A-18E/F and EA-18G aircraft which replaces obsolete ALE-47 operational flight program and programmer HW, providing data to the gateway necessary for survivability in the current and future threat scenarios facing USN operational missions. MOB Hub iASE upgraded programmer enables advanced expendable countermeasures to enhance countermeasure response, and provide additional battlespace awareness for own-ship, wingman and other mission participants. Active Expendable Device (AED) replaces existing GEN-X AED which is obsolete against modern Radio Frequency (RF) threats. Advanced Active RF expendable solutions offer standalone devices necessary for global naval operations for all DoN aircraft deployments for use against networked Integrated Air Defense Systems with coherent radars and provide aircrew with tailored response options of integrated on-board and off-board RF expendable solutions in a dense threat environment. Resources will also be applied to the following areas: 1) Studies and evaluations to optimize employment of current countermeasures and iASE capabilities. 2) Development and demonstration of advanced expendable countermeasures and countermeasure techniques. 3) Testing and evaluation of infrared countermeasures (IRCM) and RF advanced countermeasures. 4) Development of system software enhancements and integration for the testing and deployment of advanced countermeasure techniques. 5) Development of and upgrades to modeling tools and specialized equipment required to conduct evaluation of advanced countermeasures against proliferating threats.

Project 3309 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 | 79.1 |
| FY2026 | Enacted | 65.2 |
| FY2027 | Request | 53.3 |
| FY2028 | Outyear | 35.4 |
| FY2029 | Outyear | 25.9 |
| FY2030 | Outyear | 24.1 |
| FY2031 | Outyear | 24.6 |
1 accomplishment / planned program
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. Each 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.
Continue contractor and government efforts for the development and integration of Common Carriage hardware and software. Perform Common Carriage lab test, developmental test, and prepare for operational test. Continue development and integration of the advanced AN/ALE-47 iASE capability to improve countermeasure techniques developed for…

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.
