# Test and Evaluation

**R-2A activity** of project DM2 — AIAMD Software Development & Integration  
**Program element:** 0606118A — AIAMD Software Development & Integration  
**Component:** U.S. Army · **Budget Activity:** 6  
**Vintage:** President's Budget PB2027

## Summary

This activity requests $110.4M in FY2027, 17% of project DM2, up 15% 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.** Support developmental testing with LTAMDS, IFPC, Sentinel A4, RIG-360 and ALPS in support of IFTC 27. IFTC 27 will support fielding of the Guam Defense System capability including all PEO MS Guam components (IBCS, LTAMDS, Patriot & IFPC Inc. 2 interceptors, Sentinel A4, RIG-360, ALPS) both at WSMR and in a littoral environment for over the water testing. Activities include OCONUS testing (shipping, range infrastructure requirements, TDY, range execution personnel), complex testing scenarios, and implementation of a robust flight test matrix with Developmental Test as risk reduction, pre-Flight Lab Work for pre-mission analysis, post flight analysis, Joint external test participants and range safety data packages. This effort crosses multiple components within the architecture, to include THAAD, ensuring an integrated fires operational capability. Testing will be conducted against the GDS threat set including particular targets for that littoral area of operations. Specific test efforts include software development testing, component integration testing, software requirements verification, system of systems capability validation and test articles to support other component testing and requirements verification. Continue to participate in Joint events to include Orange Flag, Project Convergence, Joint All-Domain Command and Control (JADC2). Funding also includes test hardware to integrate 1-N capabilities. SoS updates to the architecture and verification testing with complex targets.

**FY2026 to FY2027 change.** FY 2027 funding increase supports IFTC 27 activities as well as SoS updates to the architecture and verification testing with complex targets.

## Before the request year

**FY2026 plans — current year.** Support developmental testing with LTAMDS, IFPC, Sentinel A4, RIG-360 and ALPS in support of IFTC 26. IFTC 26 will support fielding of the Guam Defense System capability including all PEO MS Guam components (IBCS, LTAMDS, Patriot & IFPC Inc. 2 interceptors, Sentinel A4, RIG-360, ALPS) both at WSMR and in a littoral environment for over the water testing.
