Project DL4 — PrSM Increment 4 requests $38.6M in FY2027, 13% of the $288.3M requested for program element 0605231A — a new start, with no prior-year and no current-year money. 1 R-2A activity decomposes the request, 1 new this cycle. WSMR; RTC is the largest named R-3 performer at $0.2M, 0.6% of the project's FY2027 R-3 total.

New start

This project requests $38.6M in FY2027 with no prior-year and no current-year funding. There is no incumbent line to compare it with — it did not exist before this President's Budget.

What project DL4 buys

Precision Strike Missile (PrSM) Increment 4 funding line is directly aligned to the Army Long Range Precision Fires (LRPF) modernization priority. PrSM Increment 4 adds an extended range capability to engage moving maritime, and relocatable land targets at greater ranges than PrSM Increment 1 and 2 and combines improved motor technology and developmental warhead with a PrSM Increment 2 seeker to provide an extremely accurate capability against critical and high-value targets. The PrSM Increment 4 program is a component of an integrated fires development effort that includes survivability, resiliency, and effectiveness improvements against advanced threats from near-peer adversaries. These efforts include integration with an evolving common fires mission command, common development tools and processes, and annual test and evaluation to provide data to support program assessments and progress toward closure of performance gaps. PrSM Increment 4 requirements include: range of greater than 1,000 km, specified lethality against the designated target set, and an MLRS Family of Munition (MFOM) missile pod that holds no less than two missiles, survivability in a threat environment, and compatibility with the M142 High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS). PrSM Increment 4 will meet cluster and insensitive munition (IM) requirements and is designed with an open system architecture.

Project DL4 funding, FY2027–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.

Who's building it

Named performers on project DL4

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.
