> **NEW START.** $97.6M requested in FY2027 with no prior-year and no current-year funding.

## Summary

This activity requests $97.6M in FY2027, 79% of project 3394 — a new start with no prior-year and no current-year money. 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.** CAMP XLUUV vendors will complete prototyping projects and the Government will assess the vendors' systems against prototype success criteria along with Fleet feedback. Successful projects will begin engineering tasks for production of Minimal Viable Products and iterative system improvements. Support Engineering will provide technical oversight of the CAMP project to include risk management, prototyping analysis, and assessments. Engineers will manage vendor development, prototype design, verification testing, and planned manufacturing processes. Program management will provide oversight of vendors cost, schedule and performance.

**FY2026 to FY2027 change.** Increase from $0 to $111.78M due to initiation of CAMP discretionary funding and CAMP project conducts prototyping and at sea demonstrations. This increase complies the FY25 National Defense Authorization Act H.R. 5009 - Sec. 1032 - Competitive Demonstration of Large and Extra Large Unmanned Underwater Vehicles.

## Before the request year

**FY2026 plans — current year.** FY27 is the first year CAMP is funded with discretionary funding. FY26 planned tasking is now being completed by the FY26 CAMP congressional add.
