This activity requests $49.1M in FY2027, 11% of project HX2, down 16% on FY2026. The R-2A exhibit describes it across FY2025–FY2027, including what the FY2027 money is planned to buy.

What the FY2027 request buys

Verbatim from the R-2A exhibit for project HX2 of PE 0605232A. This is the budget justification's own description of work that has not happened yet — the one thing no other level of the budget carries.

FY2027 planned work

FY 2027 funds continue the development of the LRHW CHGB. Supports further development and demonstration of LRHW system components; prime contractor support of JFC testing and overall system integration of Technology Insertions (TIs). Incrementally funds CHGBs for tactical and test/training/certification AUR+Cs. Provides for development and implementation of improved capabilities into the AUR+C to include M-Code and improved navigation for greater survivability.

FY2026 to FY2027 change

In FY 2027, the incremental funding requirement for the CHGB contract decreased due to reduced CHGB quantities in flow.

Before the request year

FY2025–FY2026: what came before

Prior-year accomplishments and current-year plans from the same exhibit. Context for the FY2027 plan, not a series — an activity partitions its project exactly in the request year, but can under-cover it in earlier years.

FY2026 plans — current year

FY 2026 funds continue the development of the LRHW CHGB. Supports further development and demonstration of LRHW system components and training; prime contractor support of JFC testing and overall system integration of Technology Insertions (TIs). Incrementally funds CHGBs for basic load and reload AUR+Cs and test/training/certification AUR+Cs. Enhances training in accordance with system training plan. An additional $19.401 million Reconciliation funding procures an additional TI-22M CHGB for testing.

FY2025 accomplishments

FY 2025 Base funds continue the development of the LRHW CHGB. Begins deliveries of CHGB to complete AUR+C assembly and integration of basic load tactical and reload rounds. Supports further development and demonstration of LRHW system components and training; prime contractor support of JFC testing and overall system integration and deployment of fully capable TIs in operational scenarios. Incrementally funds CHGBs for basic load and reload AUR+C and test/training/certification AUR+Cs. Enhances training in accordance with system training plan

Three years, and no five-year plan

An R-2A activity publishes the prior year, the current year and the budget year. The FYDP outyears exist at project and program-element level and are deliberately absent here rather than inferred. Estimate types are colored and never summed into one figure.

This activity is 11% of project HX2's FY2027 request and 11% of PE 0605232A's. In the request year the activities under a project sum to it exactly; in the current year they under-cover it in about 9% of cases, so an activity's delta can legitimately exceed its parent's and the two must not be compared row to row.
