What project 2063 buys
The STANDARD Missile 6 BLK IB provides an extended range capability for SM-6 and would provide a key contribution to the protection of Joint U.S. Forces in support of the National Defense Strategy. SM-6 BLK IB addresses valid Joint, Fleet, and Navy Urgent Operational Needs and existing Joint Requirements Oversight Council (JROC)-approved requirements. This missile aligns with the STANDARD Missile roadmap and takes advantage of the Navy's investment in the AEGIS Weapon System (AWS) and leverages advanced missile technology from the SM-6 Family of Missiles and a new 21-inch rocket motor. This program will prototype a new rocket motor in a competitive demonstration effort under a Middle Tier of Acquisition Program. Pending a missile development restart decision, the program will integrate extended range communications into the missile and conduct an extended range demonstration of the SM-6 BLK IB missile under a prototyping effort. Upon completion of the prototyping efforts, the program would transition to a major capability Acquisition program to complete system integration, qualification, developmental testing and operational test.

Project 2063 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 | 127.4 |
| FY2026 | Enacted | 83.2 |
| FY2027 | Request | 45.3 |
| FY2028 | Outyear | 71.4 |
| FY2029 | Outyear | 53.1 |
| FY2030 | Outyear | 62.4 |
| FY2031 | Outyear | 63.6 |

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.
Complete Developmental Test and Verification static fire testing, conduct an In Process Review (IPR) to establish the initial product design and begin qualification and insensitive munitions testing at the rocket motor level. Complete the Ballistic Test Vehicle -2 design and execute live fire to demonstrate the qualified rocket motor…

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.
