## Summary

This activity requests $12.5M in FY2027, 27% of project 3243, 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.** - Complete support and oversight of Engineering Development Model (EDM) hardware and software development and integration - Continue review and assessment of contract deliverables - Conduct and execute LRIP delivery and associated acquisition documentation - Provide engineering oversight of development for combat system integration - Complete test program Modeling and Simulation (M&S) development and maturation - Complete core development test and certification activities - Commence Land Based Testing (LBT) - Prepare for Technical Evaluation and IOT&E (Initial Operational Test & Evaluation) - Prepare for installation on Test Ship DDG-TBD

**FY2026 to FY2027 change.** Decrease in FY27 aligns with ramp down of E&MD efforts and transition of core program activities to production.

## Before the request year

**FY2026 plans — current year.** - Continue to support and oversee Engineering Development Model (EDM) hardware and software development and integration - Continue review and assessment of contract deliverables - Continue test program Modeling and Simulation (M&S) development and maturation - Continue integrated topside design activities for large deck ship classes - Provide engineering oversight of development for combat system integration
