What project 2234 buys

The program designs, integrates and tests the LWT MK 54. The LWT provides performance improvements in shallow water, counter-measure environments. The MK 54 MOD 1 program consists of two increments: (1) Increment 1 consisting of Advanced Processor Build (APB) 5 / Tech Insertion 1 (TI-1); and (2) Increment 2, consisting of APB-6 software upgrade. FY 2027 funding is for continued development of MK 54 MOD 1 Increment 2 APB 6 developmental builds, conducting in-water developmental test runs, and Weapons Analysis Facility (WAF) system testing. FY 2027 funding also for continued development of a Fleet Exercise Section (FES) instrumentation subsystem to be compatible with the MK 54 MOD 1 obsolescence upgraded hardware being produced under BLI 3215. FY 2027 also funds emergent and stop gap capability needs (Hammerhead and TDHK).

Project 2234 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 2234

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.
