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.
