What project LS6 buys
The Laboratory Support Research, Development, Test, and Evaluation (RDT&E) Management Support Project provides Department of War (DoW) laboratory infrastructure sustainment and modernization to upgrade key systems to current state-of-the-art capabilities. Ensures that the necessary surety operations can be conducted effectively and safely in support of the Chemical and Biological Defense Program (CBDP). Provides increased robust capabilities to the CBDP and ensures continuity of operations and environmental compliance. Efforts included in this Project are: (1) Laboratory Infrastructure (LABINF) - Chemical Biological Center (CBC) Laboratory Infrastructure (2) Laboratory Infrastructure (LABINF) - Medical Research and Development Command (MRDC) Laboratory Infrastructure (3) Agent Mannikin Integrated Ensemble Examination (AMIEE)
Project LS6 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.

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. Coverage is partial across the corpus, so count activities, never total them.
FY2027 planned work Continue to provide ongoing sustainment and modernization of existing CB surety infrastructure at DEVCOM CBC, necessary for the safe operation of biological and chemical surety laboratories, chambers, and associated facilities that support research, development, and life-cycle engineering capabilities.
FY2026 to FY2027 change Alignment to required funding levels to support Chem Bio Surety Missions at Chemical Biological Center. Funds align to increased preventive maintenance and sustainment of mission critical infrastructure and equipment.
FY2026 plans — current year Continue to provide ongoing sustainment and modernization of existing CB surety infrastructure at DEVCOM CBC, necessary for the safe operation of biological and chemical surety laboratories, chambers, and associated facilities that support research, development, and life-cycle engineering capabilities.
FY2025 accomplishments Continued ongoing sustainment and modernization efforts of existing Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, and Explosives (CBRNE) test infrastructure at DEVCOM CBC, necessary for the safe operation of biological and chemical surety laboratories, chambers, and associated facilities that support research, development, and life-cycle engineering capabilities. Continued the modernization of critical infrastructure systems and conducted routine life-cycle and use-related maintenance activities of existing components and equipment.
