What project S36 buys
The Precision Guidance Kit (PGK) project supports development efforts that will qualify state of the art technologies for a course correcting fuze that provides precision accuracy at extended ranges for current and future 155-millimeter (mm) High Explosive (HE) projectiles by eliminating a portion of the inherent errors associated with ballistic firing solutions, which effectively reduces the number of projectiles required to execute fire missions. The precision course correcting fuze will support projectile operation in Global Positioning System (GPS) degraded environments in support of the Army's Field Artillery modernization objectives. All 39-caliber weapon systems and modernized Self-Propelled and Towed Howitzer weapon systems with cannon lengths greater than or equal to 52-caliber and new long-range projectiles require the precision course correcting fuze to meet lethality requirements. This project does not have a Fiscal Year (FY) 2027 budget request.

Project S36 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.
| Fiscal Year | Estimate Type | Amount ($M) |
|---|---|---|
| FY2025 | Actual | 53.6 |
| FY2026 | Enacted | 13.0 |
| FY2029 | Outyear | 3.5 |
| FY2030 | Outyear | 3.5 |
| FY2031 | Outyear | 3.5 |

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. Coverage is partial across the corpus, so count activities, never total them.
FY2026 to FY2027 change FY 2027 decrease reflects the strategic reallocation of resources to support evolving priorities and objectives.
FY2026 plans — current year FY 2026 funding will continue to support the fabrication of LR-PGK hardware, safety and development testing.
FY2025 accomplishments FY 2025 funding will continue to support the fabrication of precision course correcting fuze hardware, safety and development testing, and further refines the Artillery fuze design.
