Project PT7 funding, FY2025–FY2031
Prior years are actuals, the budget year is the request, and the outyears are the FYDP plan. Estimate types are colored and never summed into one figure. Projects carry the full five-year plan; the activities inside them stop at the budget year.
| Fiscal Year | Estimate Type | Amount ($M) |
|---|---|---|
| FY2025 | Actual | 21.8 |
| FY2026 | Enacted | 14.0 |
| FY2027 | Request | 11.8 |
| FY2028 | Outyear | 13.7 |
| FY2029 | Outyear | 10.2 |
| FY2030 | Outyear | 9.6 |
| FY2031 | Outyear | 9.0 |
2 accomplishments / planned programs
The R-2A exhibit — the only level of the budget that describes work that has not happened yet. Activities carry the prior, current and budget year only, no five-year plan. Coverage is partial across the corpus, so count activities, never total them.
FY2027 planned work Continue the development and validation of concepts of operations for Fixed Wing Aircraft/Aircrew Personal Protective Ensemble (PPE) to inform pilots and aircrew on the earliest they can reduce their mission oriented protective posture (MOPP) level in a chemical and biological (CB) contested environment across multiple airframes. Removing PPE improves in MOPP level reduction improves Warfighter performance. Continue Continued Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear (CBRN) Response Enterprise (CRE) unit configuration management (CM) and shelf-life extension testing. Continue whole life performance characterization for all individual protective equipment (IPE) systems to extend…
FY2026 to FY2027 change Decrease due to completion of Joint Mask Leakage Tester (JSMLT) modernization efforts, Filter Modernization Project, and Project WRAITH in FY 2026.
FY2026 plans — current year Complete the modernization of the Joint Mask Leakage Tester (JSMLT) from multiple configurations to one configuration capable of conducting both ground and aviation respirator face seal testing. Finalize the modernization of respirator filters, M61 and C2A1, to meet additional objective requirements for Toxic Industrial Chemicals/Toxic Industrial Materials (TIC/TIMs) through the incorporation of Metal Organic Framework (MOF) technology. Finalize the Warfighter Resilience Achieved In Toxic Hazards (WRAITH) technology refresh project study to identify a potential alternate equipment or material solutions for legacy IPE suits. Continue the development and validation of concepts of operations…
FY2025 accomplishments Completed Tent Permeation Testing and continued the modernization of the Joint Mask Leakage Tester (JSMLT) from multiple configurations to one configuration for ground and aviation face seal testing. Continued to update technical data for M61 and C2A1 filters to meet objective requirements for Toxic Industrial Chemicals/Toxic Industrial Materials (TIC/TIMs) through the incorporation of Metal Organic Framework (MOF) technology. Continued Fixed Wing Aircraft/Aircrew Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) optimization effort for multiple airframes. Continued Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear (CBRN) Response Enterprise (CRE) Unit Modernization and configuration management. Continued…
FY2027 planned work Continue Mobile Platform Filter Modernization testing; the mobile platform filter modernization effort consolidates 2 legacy filtration items systems (using 4 filters) on armored vehicles to 1 advanced filtration system (using 1 filter). Continue CP Modernization for Ships to reduce lifecycle costs by completing the Technical Data Package and engaging with Navy Program Executive Office (PEO) Ships to provide technical data to enable procurement of modernized shipboard CP filter system modules for ship construction; Continue surveillance testing of installed modernized shipboard CP filter system to develop life cycle cost model; new prefabricated and modular systems will reduce new ship…
FY2026 to FY2027 change Minor change due to routine program adjustments. Decrease of FY 2027 funds due to completion of M48A1 filter redesign.
FY2026 plans — current year Complete M48A1 Filter Modernization prototype testing. Continue Mobile Platform Filter Modernization for Enhanced Efficiency by delivering and testing 79 modernized filters to reduce delivery lead times, logistical requirements, and costs. The mobile platform filter modernization effort consolidates 2 legacy filtration systems (using 4 filters) on armored vehicles to 1 advanced filtration system (using 1 filter). Continue CP modernization for ships to reduce lifecycle costs and complete prototype system installation onboard a navy ship for testing. New systems will reduce energy consumption, require less maintenance, and increase filter longevity. Continue conducting CP system filter…
FY2025 accomplishments Continued M48A1 Filter Modernization prototype testing, Continued Mobile Platform Filter Modernization prototype testing, Continued Collective Protection (CP) for ships including the preparation for installing a prototype system on a ship, Continued conducting CP system filter surveillance testing to improve system sustainment. Continued modernization of liners and closures to test non-PFAS alternatives.
