## Summary

This activity requests $18.9M in FY2027, 17% of project 2278, up 1233% 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 procurement of hardware in support of integration of a new Electronic Warfare (EW) solution -Initiates the purchase of hardware in support of development, integration, and testing of the new Loitering High Power Microwave (HPM) solution. -Initiates the purchase of enhanced Optic and Radar for increase detection range and autonomous tracking to meet the emerging threat gaps existing in the current baseline. -Initiates the purchase of hardware/software upgrades and added capabilities that increase overall system survivability through resilient scalable architecture

**FY2026 to FY2027 change.** Increase from FY 2026 to FY 2027 is due to the procurement of critical hardware and software that accelerates the development and integration of advanced Electronic Warfare (EW), Loitering High Power Microwave (HPM), and sensor solutions. This is necessary to increase overall system survivability and enhance detection and tracking capabilities to counter emerging threat gaps.

## Before the request year

**FY2026 plans — current year.** -Initiates purchase of components to increase system performance as technology improves and the UAS threat environment evolves. Components include Position-Navigation-Time (PNT), Laser Designator Optic, and Passive Sensor components. These components improve the fidelity of target data and accuracy for the integrated weapons and increase the kill of UAS threats. -Initiates improvements of systems communication architecture to increase distributed operations capability and mission flexibility. -Initiates Machine Learning product enhancements to improve operator decision making and decrease user fatigue.
