## What project 2514 buys

Long-Range Anti-Submarine Warfare Weapon (LRAW) Development will provide capability that extends range past the range of the current VLA systems which addresses adversary submarines employing long range standoff tactics. LRAW will provide future surface combatants with organic ASW capability. CRUDES capability for offensive ASW is limited to the current VLA ranges which may not be adequate for all scenarios. Current VLA inventory is aging and requires recapitalization to maintain readiness. In FY 2027 the program will begin development consisting of modification to existing VLA rocket, initiate design, design containers and test equipment, build test articles, and conduct an Engineering, qualification, DT, and OT test program. The LRAW program will follow a phased approach; the first phase will be to define LRAW capability requirements, followed by a second phase to develop and test extended range capability, and a final fielding stage. FY 2027 to FY 2031 funds the first phase of the LRAW program.

**R-3 lines of work:** Product Development.

## What is NOT on this page

Congressional marks, the R-2 mission description and acquisition strategy, the industry vs government split of the whole request, and related program elements are recorded at **program-element** grain — an NDAA mark lands on a PE, never on a project.
