## Summary

This activity requests $10.0M in FY2027, 80% of project 0025, down 32% 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.** - Complete integration and evaluation of Active Protective System on ACV-P variant. - Complete Programmable Airburst Munition (PABM) Weapon System Explosives Safety Review Board (WSESRB) for ammunition qualification. - Complete integration and evaluation of Counter-Small Unmanned Aerial Systems. - Initiate integration and evaluation of CROWS-Javelin (CROWS-J) on ACV-P variant.

**FY2026 to FY2027 change.** The decrease in Product Development from FY 2026 to FY 2027 is primarily attributed to the completion of the major ACV-R Phase II design and development effort and is also attributed to several multi-year efforts transitioning from higher-cost phases to lower-cost phases of execution. Specifically, the Active Protective System (APS) development and the Programmable Airburst Munition (PABM) qualification efforts have both moved past their initial, resource-intensive stages. While these programs continue in FY 2027, the focus shifts to final testing, data analysis and reporting, which requires a reduced level of funding compared to the prior year.

## Before the request year

**FY2026 plans — current year.** - Initiated integration and evaluation of Active Protective System on ACV-P variant. - Initiated Programmable Airburst Munition (PABM) Weapon System Explosives Safety Review Board (WSESRB) for ammunition qualification. - Initiated integration and evaluation of Counter-Small Unmanned Aerial Systems.
