## Summary

Project 0605 — Long Range Aerial Delivered Maritime Mine (LRADMM) requests $108.6M in FY2027, 68% of the $158.7M requested for program element 0604601N — a new start, with no prior-year and no current-year money. 3 R-2A activities decompose the request, 3 new this cycle. Boeing is the largest named R-3 performer at $50.0M, 46% of the project's FY2027 R-3 total.

## What project 0605 buys

Naval mines continue to be a cost-effective way to deter or control adversary movements, including surface ships and submarines. Aerial deployment of mines is an expeditious and efficient way to deliver large numbers of mines to planned minefields. Major efforts under the Long Range Aerial Delivery Maritime Mine (LRADMM) program will yield increased capability for the entire QS Family of Mines are: 1) Quickstrike Extended Range (QS-ER) M-Code: M-Code GPS antijam capabilities will be integrated into the QS-ER guidance kit and wing assembly to increase precision placement capabilities for 2000lb mines in GPS-denied environments. 2) Quickstrike Long Range (QS-LR) Powered Delivery Vehicle: A powered delivery vehicle will be developed to carry an in-service Mk 62 500lb mine to water entries that are 300 nm+ downrange, significantly decreasing risk to the launch delivery platform. 3) Increased launch-platform integration: Integration work for QS-ER will start for B-2. Integration with F/A-18 E/F will start for QS-LR.

**R-3 lines of work:** Product Development; Support; Test and Evaluation; Management Services.
