What project MT11 buys
This project provides activities for planning, analysis, and execution of Missile Defense System flight test events, including pre-and post-test ground testing (e.g. Digital and Hardware-in-the-Loop (HWIL) System Pre-Mission Tests and System Federation Validation Events). Sensor Test provides planning, analysis, and execution in accordance with the Ground Test Concept of Operations (CONOPS) supporting the Ground Test level of effort concept for Missile Defense System system-level ground tests identified in the IMTP. Test infrastructure funding provides for HWIL labs, Mission Operation Center/Mission Support Center (MOC/MSC), and program management required to operate and maintain a flight and ground test capability.

2 accomplishments / planned programs
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 Decrease from FY 2026 to FY 2027 reflects realignment of Long Range Discrimination Radar test resources from PE 0604879C to Midcourse Test PE 0604887C.
FY2027 planned work - No funding is requested in FY 2027.
FY2026 to FY2027 change Decrease from FY 2026 to FY 2027 reflects realignment of MDA Flight Test Budget from PE 0604879C to the Ballistic Missile Defense Test PE 0603914C.
Named performers on project MT11
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.
