What project ER7 buys
ER7: Aircraft Survivability Development. The objective of the Aircraft Survivability Equipment (ASE) Development project is to improve Radio Frequency (RF) ASE for Army Aviation. AN/APR-39 Radar Warning Receiver (RWR) detects, categorizes, and prioritizes RF emitters and provides a visual / aural alert to aircrew members warning them of targeting by RF-guided weapons. AN/APR-39D(V)2 interim RWR Modernization significantly improves the RF threat coverage, automatic detection and identification of threat types to include bearing and lethality. AN/APR-39E(V)2, Modernized Radar Warning Receiver (MRWR), is an Army Engineering Change Proposal (ECP) to AN/APR-39D(V)2 and is approved in the Acquisition Decision Memorandum (ADM) signed June 24, 2019. This ECP enhances hardware and software upgrades to keep AN/APR-39 technically relevant against new and emerging agile threats faced by legacy platforms in a near peer contest. AN/APR-39E(V)2 is part of the suite of ASE mission equipment for the Enduring Fleet and Multi-Mission Vertical Takeoff (MV)-75 Future Long-Range Assault Aircraft (FLRAA). Radio Frequency Countermeasures (RFCM) focuses on detecting and jamming incoming RF signals. RFCM will provide aircraft with an extra level of security against RF threats to include Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS)/Drone technology. ASE is developing RFCM capability for selected aircraft with a Material Development Decision (MDD) planned in the future. Justification: FY 2027 RDT&E dollars will fund AN/APR-39E(V)2 Hardware and Software System Development, UH-60 A-Kit NRE, and Systems Engineering and Program Management (SEPM).

Project ER7 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 | 4.5 |
| FY2026 | Enacted | 8.2 |
| FY2027 | Request | 23.4 |
| FY2028 | Outyear | 10.3 |
| FY2029 | Outyear | 10.4 |
| FY2030 | Outyear | 10.4 |
| FY2031 | Outyear | 10.5 |
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.
Will fund AN/APR-39E(V)2 Hardware and Software System Development, UH-60 A-Kit Non-recurring Engineering (NRE) and Systems Engineering and Program Management (SEPM).

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.
