## Summary

This activity requests $15.8M in FY2027, 14% of project 2278, up 1389% 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 testing of a new Electronic Warfare (EW) solution to include evaluation and assessment of placement, obstructions, cabling, grounding, and bonding. -Initiates the testing of hardware/software upgrades and added capabilities that increase overall system survivability through resilient scalable architecture. -Initiates testing of multi-mode programmable ammunition for the 30MM cannon to maintain schedule alignment with the Army. -Initiates test and evaluation for the High Power Microwave solution. -Initiates test and evaluation of enhanced Optic and Radar for increase detection range and autonomous tracking to meet the emerging threat gaps existing in the current baseline.

**FY2026 to FY2027 change.** FY 2026 to FY 2027 increase funds critical test and evaluation across a suite of advanced capabilities, including Electronic Warfare (EW), Resilient Scalable Architecture, Multi-Mode Programmable Ammunition (MMPA), High-Power Microwave (HPM), and enhanced sensors. This testing is essential to validate system performance, ensure survivability, and confirm lethality improvements against emerging threats, ensuring these integrated solutions are operationally effective and ready for deployment.

## Before the request year

**FY2026 plans — current year.** -Continues testing of the MADIS Gunnery Training System -Initiates integration testing of ECP components to increase system performance as technology improves and the UAS threat environment evolves. -Initiates testing of improved system communication architecture which increases distributed operations capability and mission flexibility. -Initiates testing of the System Integration Lab components required to independently verify software cyber requirements, and development of ECPs.
