## Summary

This activity requests $179.5M in FY2027, 62% of project CF6, down 33% on FY2026. The R-2A exhibit describes it across FY2025–FY2027, including what the FY2027 money is planned to buy.

## What the FY2027 request buys

**FY2027 planned work.** The costs encompass the continuation of ongoing efforts under Project Proteus to demonstrate advanced technologies in a relevant operational environment. Additionally, this funding represents the final increment for the Phase 4 efforts associated with the XM30 design maturation, development activities and prototype build. These efforts involve multiple vendors and include hardware and software development, producibility engineering and planning, tooling, data generation, training plan development, and support equipment.

**FY2026 to FY2027 change.** The decrease from FY 2026 to FY 2027 follows the shift in the schedule from prototype build to testing in support of Transformation in Contact (TiC).

## Before the request year

**FY2026 plans — current year.** Costs include continuing XM30 design maturation and development efforts from multiple vendors including hardware and software development, producibility engineering and planning, tooling, data, training plans and support equipment. Costs also include continuing material and labor towards the delivery of sixteen prototypes in support of Transformation in Contact (TiC) required for Preproduction Prove-out Testing and development of Project Proteus to demonstrate advanced technologies in a relevant operational environment. FY 2026 costs also include any contractor furnished test support material and test support labor aligning to requirements per the XM30 Preproduction Prove-out Test schedule. This effort funds the two crew trainer simulators and the associated training, maintenance and operational support.

**FY2025 accomplishments.** These costs include the maturation of XM30 Detailed Design Concepts to CDR. Costs include Contractor System Engineering and Program Management, Producibility Engineering and Planning, Development Tooling, Data, Support Equipment Development and Development of a Training Program of Instruction. Costs also include the material for 8 prototypes each from 2 vendors required for Preproduction Prove-Out Testing and initial logistics development.
