## Summary

This activity requests $23.4M in FY2027, 21% of project 2278, up 1441% 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.** -Initiates the integration of a new Electronic Warfare (EW) solution. This solution is required to satisfy non-kinetic defeat requirements and enable ease of new technology insertion and optimization of specific capabilities by fleet users dependent on threat set. -Initiates the development of hardware/software upgrades and added capabilities that increase overall system survivability through resilient scalable architecture (RSA). RSA is required to give commanders more flexibility with how they employ the MADIS, by allowing multiple MK1s to receive data link tracks from a single MK2. -Initiates development of multi-mode programmable ammunition (MMPA) for the 30MM cannon to maintain schedule alignment with the Army. The MMPA is required to provide better proximity ammunition against sUAS and will allow for one ammunition type, easing the need for a dual feed weapon system, and easing the logistical footprint. -Initiates integration of the multi-mode programmable ammunition contact fuze setter into the Remote Weapon Station (RWS) -Initiates the development of Loitering High Power Microwave (HPM) capability that can disrupt and/or destroy circuitry in adversarial UAS. This capability is required as part of a layered defense aimed at minimizing the number of threats that make it into the final protective fires ring.

**FY2026 to FY2027 change.** Increase from FY 2026 to FY 2027 due to the initiation of multiple efforts such as development of hardware/software that increase overall system survivability, development of multi-mode programmable ammunition for the 30MM cannon, integration of the multi-mode programmable fuze setter into the RWS as well as integration of a new EW solution. These initiatives collectively enhance lethality, survivability, and operational flexibility through the development and integration of advanced, multi-domain capabilities designed to counter emerging threats and reduce logistical demands.

## Before the request year

**FY2026 plans — current year.** -Completes MADIS Virtual Training System development; includes software development costs -Continue MADIS Gunnery Training System development; includes software development costs -Initiate integration of the System Integration Labs (SIL) required to independently verify software, cyber requirements, and development of engineering change proposals
