**Program element:** 0605518N — Conventional Prompt Strike (CPS)  
**Component:** U.S. Navy · **Budget Activity:** 4  
**Vintage:** President's Budget PB2027

## Summary

This activity requests $120.4M in FY2027, 9.0% of project 3334, up 104% on FY2026. The R-2A exhibit describes it across FY2026–FY2027, including what the FY2027 money is planned to buy.

## What the FY2027 request buys

**FY2027 planned work.** - Continue to identify and submit technologies for incorporation into the CPS WS that close capability gaps, and improve manufacturability, producibility, and affordability. - Continue to communicate and collaborate with the broader DoD S&T community, industry, and other government partners to identify emerging technologies and develop plans to synchronize investment opportunities where applicable to share costs and avoid duplicative work. - Continue to develop alternate navigation technologies and perform technology demonstrations to improve performance in identified threat environments. Details are available at a higher classification level. - Continue analysis and development of terminal sensor capability in support of prosecuting warfighting priority targets. - Continue to use modeling and simulation analyses to inform technology investment strategy and how the technologies improve CPS capabilities and address gaps in lethality, survivability, and performance envelopes. - Continue experimental testing of advanced capabilities using sounding rockets, experimental hypersonic testing platforms, and Full-Scale Test launches leveraging the Multi-Service Advanced Capabilities for Hypersonics Test Bed (MACH-TB). -Begin preparations to compete the design and production of the TI-27 hypersonic glide body, in coordination with the Strategic Capabilities Office and MACH-XL, through development of an update glide body requirements specification and a more detailed, modular interface specification.

**FY2026 to FY2027 change.** FY 2027 increase of $61.257 million supports efforts to accelerate TI-27 development.

## Before the request year

**FY2026 plans — current year.** - Continued to identify and submit technologies for incorporation into the CPS WS that close capability gaps, and improve manufacturability, producibility, and affordability. - Continued to communicate and collaborate with the broader DoD S&T community, industry, and other government partners to identify emerging technologies and develop plans to synchronize investment opportunities where applicable to share costs and avoid duplicative work. - Conducted Multi-Service Advanced Capabilities for Hypersonics Test Bed (MACH-TB) testing to mature advanced TPS manufacturing capabilities and operability testing for an advanced capability in transition to the WS. - Continued to develop alternate navigation technologies and perform technology demonstrations to improve performance in identified threat environments. Details are available at a higher classification level. - Continued analysis and development of terminal sensor capability in support of prosecuting warfighting priority targets. Details are available at a higher classification level. - Performed design maturation, prototyping, and testing of warhead improvements to enhance lethality against a broader set of targets. Details available at a higher classification level. - Continued to use modeling and simulation analyses to inform technology investment strategy and how the technologies improve CPS capabilities and address gaps in lethality, survivability, and performance envelopes. - Continued experimental testing of advanced capabilities using sounding rockets, experimental hypersonic testing platforms, and Full-Scale Test launches leveraging the MACH-TB.
