What project 0219 buys
The AN/BQQ-10(V) Acoustic Rapid COTS Insertion (A-RCI) Submarine SONAR system will continue to add new capabilities via Technical Insertion (TI)/Advanced Processing Build (APB) process while working across Submarine Warfare Federated Tactical System (SWFTS) programs to transition to Development Security Operations (DevSecOps) software processes and migrate to a cloud-based architecture. The Navy is pursuing a transformation across SWFTS (PE 0604503N Projects 0219, 0236, 0253 and 0775) to maximize cyber-resiliency and the speed of capability delivery. This program delivers block updates to Sonar Systems installed on SSN 688, 688I, SSN 21, VIRGINIA, SSBN, and SSGN Class Submarines to maintain clear acoustical, tactical, and operational superiority over Submarines and Surface Combatants in all scenarios through detection, classification, localization, and contact following. Acoustics Rapid COTS Insertion (A-RCI) provides multi-phased evolutionary development geared toward addressing acoustic superiority issues through the rapid introduction of interim development products applicable to all Classes of Submarines. - A-RCI Phase I and II introduced Towed Array processing improvements - Phase III introduced Spherical Array processing improvements - Phase IV provided High Frequency (HF) Array processing improvements for SSN 688I, SSGN, SSBN, VIRGINIA, and SSN 21 Class Submarines. As part of the Navy's plan to maintain acoustic superiority for in-service submarines, a joint cooperative effort was established to deliver bi-annual Advanced Processing Builds (APBs) to prevent obsolescence and deliver ongoing capability improvements. - Capabilities in the APBs will be integrated as part of A-RCI certified systems. Sensor Efforts provide increased operational capabilities for littoral operations, situational awareness, and reliability improvements.

Project 0219 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.

|---|---|---|
| FY2025 | Actual | 60.6 |
| FY2026 | Enacted | 67.5 |
| FY2027 | Request | 60.7 |
| FY2028 | Outyear | 66.4 |
| FY2029 | Outyear | 68.1 |
| FY2030 | Outyear | 68.1 |

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. 2 of them describe FY2027 work in enough detail to have their own page; the rest are shown here in full. Coverage is partial across the corpus, so count activities, never total them.
-Continue support of Advanced Processing Builds installed on SSN688I, SSN 21, SSBN, SSGN, and VA Class Submarines. -Continue integration and testing associated with signal processing in support of Large Vertical Array (LVA) on SSBN and VA Class submarines. -Transition A-RCI APB content delivery to SWFTS Continuous Capability Insertion…

FY2026 to FY2027 change FY 2026 to FY 2027 reflects increase of $0.084M due to escalation rates.
FY2026 plans — current year -Continue development of emerging capability improvements for current and future threats by supporting development, integration, and testing of emerging capability improvements in passive long range detection/wide area search for current and future threats in support of Navy SSN/SSBN Acoustic Superiority initiatives.
Named performers on project 0219
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.
