HitchAI read

U.S. Army requests $1.05B in FY2027 against nothing enacted in FY2026 — the program's peak, sustained across the five-year plan. In the FY2027 defense authorization, the House funded it in full; the Senate funded it in full; House appropriators funded it in full. Lockheed Martin leads the industry work.

Projects are the summable leaves — the PE total is their sum, never added to it. Program elements and projects carry the full five-year plan; activities stop at the budget year.

The whole program

THAAD is funded on 5 lines across 4 appropriations

This page shows $921.9M of THAAD, 50% of the program's $1.83B FY2027 request. The rest is appropriated elsewhere.

Program detail

Mission & acquisition strategy

The THAAD system provides a capability to intercept and destroy short-range, medium-range, and limited intermediate-range missile threats inside or outside the atmosphere during the terminal phase of flight. THAAD continues the development and integration of multiple, independent system builds to address the evolving threat, improve reliability, availability and readiness, defense planning, and improved capability to engage Short-Range Ballistic Missile, Medium-Range Ballistic Missile, and limited Intermediate-Range Ballistic Missile threats.

The THAAD program awards Task Orders on the THAAD Follow on Development Contract Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity contract for THAAD development and test. THAAD also utilizes other contracts with industry as well as agreements with other United States (U.S.) Government organizations in order to develop, test and upgrade the THAAD Weapon system.
