Project 2094 — Unmanned Underwater Vehicle requests $22.6M in FY2027, 14% of the $164.5M requested for program element 0604536N — a new start, with no prior-year and no current-year money. 1 R-2A activity decomposes the request, 1 new this cycle. Anduril is the largest named R-3 performer at $19.3M, 85% of the project's FY2027 R-3 total.

New start

This project requests $22.6M in FY2027 with no prior-year and no current-year funding. There is no incumbent line to compare it with — it did not exist before this President's Budget.

What project 2094 buys

The Dragonfish project is a direct response to specific operational needs established by both the Commander, U.S. Pacific Fleet (COMPACFLT) and U.S. Special Operations Command (SOCOM). The Dragonfish is being developed as a UUV capable of conducting one-way attacks, providing a crucial offensive capability against both surface naval targets and fixed land-based infrastructure.

Project 2094 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.

Inside the project

1 accomplishment / planned program

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.

Named performers on project 2094

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.
