What project MD68 buys
The Missile Defense Agency (MDA) is responsible for maintaining the Aegis Ashore Missile Defense Test Complex (AAMDTC) at the Pacific Missile Range Facility (PMRF). MDA uses AAMDTC in support of Ground Testing, Aegis Weapon System computer program development testing, fielding (with hardware upgrades), and proof of concept demonstrations. AAMDTC is capable of testing and developing both shore based and sea based Aegis capabilities. In support of European Phased Adaptive Approach Phase III, Aegis Ashore integrates the Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) 5.1 and Standard Missile Block IIA capabilities into the Aegis Ashore sites. MDA will provide all upgrades to BMD capability, BMD specific mission equipment, and integration with existing Missile Defense System nodes for all Aegis Ashore sites.

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.
- Upgrade AAMDTC hardware in the loop (HWIL) test bed for Aegis Guam Weapon System configuration through ground testing and Objective Quality Evidence (OQE) collection for certification and warfighter acceptance. After initial certification and transition, the HWIL suite will be used for flight testing, operational troubleshooting and…

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.
