What project EU6 buys

The 155 millimeter (mm) High Explosive (HE) Rocket Assisted Projectile Extended Range project supports the Army's Field Artillery modernization objectives. This venture develops an innovative rocket design with a lethal warhead that is compatible with unguided and guided fuzes to meet extended range and accuracy requirements. The Next Generation Rocket Assisted Projectile (NGRAP) development effort will first deliver a solution to increase ranges from 30km to 40km in current 39 caliber systems and will also improve accuracy, lethality, and ranges utilizing 39 caliber and extended range cannons. Fiscal Year (FY) 2027 funding will support critical verification testing and qualification activities required to achieve Critical Design Review (CDR).

Project EU6 funding, FY2025–FY2028

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.

FY2025 actual$15.1M
FY2026 enacted$16.3M
FY2027 request$13.1M

FY 2027 funding will support critical verification testing and manufacturing maturation activities required to achieve Critical Design Review (CDR).

Named performers on project EU6

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.
