## Summary

U.S. Army funding ramps 324% to a $0.5M request in FY2027 — the program's peak, with nothing planned by FY2031. In the FY2027 defense authorization, the House funded it in full; the Senate funded it in full; House appropriators funded it in full. Operational Test Command (OTC) leads the industry work.

### Project DJ7 — Radiological Detection System Development

The Combating Weapons of Mass Destruction (CWMD) Product Improvement line supports obsolescence management and product improvement efforts for overall chemical, radiological, and biological detection and protection for the warfighter for multiple programs of record. Radiological Detection System (RDS) will replace the current radiation detection, indication, and computation (RADIAC) systems used by the Joint Services and will consolidate the capabilities into one joint solution. RDS consists of a handheld base unit with beta/gamma detection capability and six probes. RDS incorporates geolocation data- Global Positioning System interface capability, Network Ready data and lessons learned from Operation TOMODACHI which includes common measurements, common equipment, and adequate sensitivity. RDS benefits the warfighter by providing a common Joint capability to detect, identify, and compute total exposure to multiple radiation types, and reduces the acquisition as well as sustainment costs across the Joint Services by taking advantage of economies of scale. FY 2027 dollars in the amount of $0.488 million supports required radio interoperability testing supporting the net-ready KPP and Follow On Test and Evaluation (FOT&E).

**Named R-3 performers** (share of this project's FY2027 R-3 total, so they need not reach 100%)**:** Operational Test Command (OTC) (0.2, 46%), CCBC CBC (0.2, 41%).

| Activity (R-2A) | FY2025 | FY2026 | FY2027 |
|---|---|---|---|
| RDS Obsolescence Management | 0.3 | 0.1 | 0.5 |

> R-2A activities carry the prior, current and budget year only — no five-year plan. Coverage is partial, so count them, never total them.

## Where the FY2027 request goes

| Category | Share | $M |
|---|---|---|
| Industry primes | 87% | 0.4 |
| Other / unspecified | 13% | 0.1 |

**Top named industry performers:** Operational Test Command (OTC) ($0.2M, 46%), CCBC CBC ($0.2M, 41%).

> R-3 exhibit contract funding, not USAspending obligations.

## Mission & acquisition strategy

The Combating Weapons of Mass Destruction (CWMD) Product Improvement line supports obsolescence management and product improvement efforts for overall chemical, radiological, and biological detection and protection for the warfighter for multiple programs of record. Radiological Detection System (RDS) will replace the current radiation detection, indication, and computation (RADIAC) systems used by the Joint Services and will consolidate the capabilities into one joint solution. RDS consists of a handheld base unit with beta/gamma detection capability and six probes.

The Radiological Detection System (RDS) will utilize funding through Other Government Agency (OGA) support via MIPR to accomplish test and interoperability requirements consistent with the program schedule.
