**R-2A activity** of project CF6 — Optionally Manned Fighting Vehicle (OMFV)  
**Program element:** 0605625A — Manned Ground Vehicle  
**Component:** U.S. Army · **Budget Activity:** 5  
**Vintage:** President's Budget PB2027

## Summary

This activity requests $56.4M in FY2027, 19% of project CF6, up 144% 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.** This effort funds activities associated with the XM30 Government Pre-Production Prove-Out Testing (PPT), including operational test events in support of Transformation in Contact (TiC) and other test and evaluation events aligned with program milestones and decision points. Specific costs survivability testing for two vendors, encompassing the use of armor coupons and ballistic hull and turret assessments. Additionally, this funding covers initial inspections of remaining prototype deliveries, TiC and NTC evaluations in accordance with the PPT and TiC schedule. This effort also includes any testing requirements and associated costs related to the delivery of Software Pathway Minimum Viable Capability Release(s) (SWP MVCR).

**FY2026 to FY2027 change.** The increase from FY 2026 to FY 2027 is the transition from prototype build to PPT vehicle test to support Transformation in Contact (TiC).

## Before the request year

**FY2026 plans — current year.** This funds efforts associated with the XM30 Government Pre-production Prove-out testing (PPT), including operational test events in support of Transformation in Contact (TiC) and other test and evaluation events in support of program milestones and decision points. These costs include survivability testing for two vendors with armor coupons and ballistic hull and turrets. These costs include instrumentation, test planning and execution for safety testing and Development Testing (DT), Initial Familiarization Training (IFT) and Experimental Equipment Training (EET) for prototypes delivered from two vendors per the PPT/TiC Schedule. Also included are any testing requirements costs associated with the delivery of SWP MVCR(s).

**FY2025 accomplishments.** This cost continues to fund the efforts for the XM30 Government Production Prove-out testing (PPT) of XM30 designs for two vendors. Each vendor will build 8 prototypes for USG test purposes along with 2 Ballistic Hull and Turrets (BH&T). Includes a cost to add 2 battery sets for each of the Ballistic Hull &Turrets (BH&Ts) to support Live fire testing. Due to a schedule change for the Live Fire BH&T delivery, there is an added cost shipping to test sites due to moving around subtests and locations. This cost funds long lead material items including armor coupons, Government Furnished Material (GFM) integration and test spares, lethality ammunition and threat ammunition for the testing of prototypes for two vendors. Also, adds a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) ballast kit to vehicle G4 during the automotive test block to test and verify the GVWR P-SPECs. This line funds the procurement of the Multiple Integrated Laser Engagement (MILES) gear for the soldier assessments and unanticipated additional development and prove out of the XM913 due to ammo and weapon failures.
