## Summary

This activity requests $36.1M in FY2027, 56% of project 3469, down 18% on FY2026. 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.** - Continue SOEA Rapid Prototype Development to prove out and validate critical performance capability, system architecture functionality, and supportability requirements. Support failure mode analyses. - Continue software support for SKCS integration. - Continue developing the SOEA training modules of SEWTT - Commence upgrades of software and hardware baseline based on performance testing results. - Support phase 1 Developmental and Performance Testing - Support land-based performance and environmental testing to prove out integrated system capabilities and verify integrated system performance in a representative operational environment.

**FY2026 to FY2027 change.** The decrease in FY27 aligns with the completion of SOEA phase 1 prototype development in FY26.

## Before the request year

**FY2026 plans — current year.** - Continue SOEA Rapid Prototype Development to prove out and validate critical performance capability, system architecture functionality, and supportability requirements. Support failure mode analyses. - Provide software support for Soft-kill Coordination System (SKCS) integration. - Commence and complete Formal Qualification Test (FQT). - Commence developing the SOEA training modules of the Surface Electronic Warfare Tactical Trainer (SEWTT).
