## Summary

Project S36 — Precision Guidance Kit requests — in FY2027, 0.0% of the $124.9M requested for program element 0604802A, down 100% on FY2026. 1 R-2A activity decomposes the request.

**Markets:** Ammunition & Explosives — matched on the project title only, and no market size is quoted.

## Funding profile

## 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.

**R-3 lines of work:** Management Services; Product Development; Support; Test and Evaluation.

## Activities (R-2A) — 1

| Activity | FY2025 | FY2026 | FY2027 | Move | Page |

> Activities carry the prior, current and budget year only — no five-year plan. In the request year they partition this project exactly; in earlier years they can under-cover it.

### Long Range-Precision Guidance Kit (LR-PGK) Development

**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.

## 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. They are at https://hitchintel.com/programs/0604802A.
