## Summary

This activity requests $74.6M in FY2027, 15% of project 3380, up 83% 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.** Continue software integration development and aircraft integration efforts, to include Software Integration Lab testing and lab support. Complete the delivery and installation of NGJ-LB validation and verification A-kits into test aircraft. Continue Software Anomaly Report analysis, implementation and test. Continue to support platform integration for NGJ-LB jamming techniques and capabilities. Continue the development of the training materials in cooperation with the NGJ-LB prime contractor for EA-18G operators and maintainers and begin Aircrew training events in support of DT. Complete Platform Integration activities to support aeromechanical and mission system chamber and flight test. Monitor mitigation activities to reduce risk of RF damage to platform. Continue studies, analysis and support of NGJ-LB Interim Flight Clearance, test readiness, and host platform interoperability.

**FY2026 to FY2027 change.** Funding increases from FY 2026 to FY 2027 due to acceleration of software integration (POD Software (L3Harris)) development and aircraft integration efforts (Software(NGC)/Aircraft (Boeing, EA-18G)), to include Software Integration Lab testing and lab support, to align aircraft and system software development and delivery to meet IOC dates.

## Before the request year

**FY2026 plans — current year.** Continue software development and aircraft integration efforts, to include Software Integration Lab testing and lab support. Complete non-recurring engineering for the EA-18G in support of the NGJ-LB engineering change proposal and continue the delivery and installation of NGJ-LB validation and verification A-kits into test aircraft. Continue Software Anomaly Report analysis, implementation and test. Continue to support development of advanced techniques, Jammer Training Mode and Receive-Only capabilities. Continue the development of the training materials in cooperation with the NGJ-LB prime contractor for EA-18G operators and maintainers and begin Aircrew training events in support of DT. Complete Platform Integration activities and wind tunnel, ground and flight testing for NGJ-LB capability. Continue mitigation activities to reduce risk of RF damage to platform. Continue studies, analysis and support of NGJ-LB Interim Flight Clearance and test readiness events.
