## Summary

This activity requests $18.6M in FY2027, 100% of project 2474, down 30% 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 DT&E and FOT&E efforts for the Enterprise Air Search Radar (EASR)/Ship Self Defense, including the Plans, Exercises, Targets, and Missiles to demonstrate Flight II combat system capability. - Cybersecurity Test Planning and conducting the manpower and equipment intensive Cyber Cooperative Vulnerability Identification (CVI) and Adversarial Cyber DT&E (ACD) for additional LPD Network Enclaves. - Interoperability Test Planning (Net Ready-Key Performance Parameter). - Commence planning efforts for a Shock Trial event which will either be a Modeling and Simulation (M&S) of a Shock Trial or a Full Ship Shock Trials (FSST). - Overall test support, documentation/plans (TEMP), coordination, and event conduct support. Efforts will also focus on implementation of new GFE/CFE on new construction LPDs: - Cybersecurity risk assessments, validation, and approvals under RMF process for new, modified, or continued fielding of LPD unique systems. - Qualification of systems/equipment such as shock, vibration, and Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) for new systems. - Qualification and validation of various system software. - Study and resolution of emergent items identified under Diminishing Manufacturing Sources and Material Shortages (DMSMS) working groups. - Study and assess ship impact due to aging GFE systems and technology refresh, including Configuration Management and Concurrent Engineering activities. - Provide detail design engineering efforts to include the non-recurring class design change paper development. - Continue Software Support Activity/ Development & Integration for management and evaluation of new/unique LPD HM&E systems, networks, and control systems. - Investigate, test, and develop a solution to existing electrical design issues associated with common mode voltage in the High Efficiency Super Capacity (HESC) variable speed drive (VSD) cabinet and EMI Filter.

**FY2026 to FY2027 change.** FY 2026 to FY 2027 decrease for LPD 17 Flight II is associated with a realignment of Development Test and Evaluation (DT&E) efforts to accommodate updated Enterprise Air Search Radar and Ship Self Defense requirements and schedule.

## Before the request year

**FY2026 plans — current year.** Focus on continuation of planning efforts and begin initial execution for testing in FY 2026-2030: - Utilizing DT Events on LPD 29 to reduce risks for FOT&E Surface Warfare (SUW) testing planned for FY 2028. - Cybersecurity Test Planning and conducting the manpower and equipment intensive Cyber Cooperative Vulnerability Identification (CVI) and Adversarial Cyber DT&E (ACD) for additional LPD Network Enclaves. - Interoperability Test Planning (Net Ready-Key Performance Parameter). - Continue LFT&E modeling and simulation support for Shock Trial Alternative to assess Flight II ship shock hardness and inform corrective design modifications. - Continue DT&E and FOT&E efforts for the EASR/Ship Self Defense, including the Plans, Exercises, Targets, and Missiles to demonstrate Flight II combat system capability. - Overall test support, documentation/plans (TEMP), coordination, and event conduct support. Efforts will also focus on implementation of new GFE/CFE on new construction LPDs: - Continuation of assessment of HERO/HERP for ship, aircraft, and weapons integration with EASR, SPY-6(V)2 and other associated radar-to-ship integration activities for the new radar. - Cybersecurity risk assessments, validation, and approvals under RMF process for new, modified, or continued fielding of LPD unique systems. - Qualification of systems/equipment impacted by obsolescence such as shock, vibration, and EMI for new systems. - Study of obsolescence cases and resolution of emergent items identified under Diminishing Manufacturing Sources and Material Shortages (DMSMS)/Obsolescence working groups. - Study and assessments of ship impacts due to GFE system obsolescence and technology refresh, including Configuration Management and Concurrent Engineering activities. - Continue Software Support Activity/ Development & Integration for management and evaluation of new/unique LPD HM&E systems, networks, and control systems.
