FY2027 Request
$351.7M
◆ Scaling +179%
HitchAI read

Defense-Wide funding ramps 179% to a $351.7M request in FY2027 — the program's peak, before stepping down 58% across the five-year plan. In the FY2027 defense authorization, the House funded it in full; the Senate added 3.5% (to $364.0M); House appropriators funded it in full. Apogee leads the industry work.

Mission & acquisition strategy

This Program Element provides for the Engineering and Manufacturing Development (EMD) of Special Operations Forces (SOF) Surface and Undersea Mobility platforms. It also provides for pre-acquisition activities to quickly respond to new requirements for SOF surface and undersea mobility, looking at multiple alternatives to include cross-platform technical solutions, service-common solutions, Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) technologies, and new development efforts. S4017: The Underwater Systems project provides for the EMD of combat submersibles, SOF combat diving systems, underwater support systems, and underwater equipment.

• The SDV MK 11/SWCS initially used full and open competition with a down select to a single contractor to award prototype development and low-rate initial production. Leveraging sole source Justification and Approval (J&A) production contracts for delivery of production articles MK1106 - MK1110. The full spectrum of contracting activities is being employed for P3I upgrades, using existing contracts, government agencies, and new contracts as appropriate. The SDV MK 11 is a Major Capability Acquisition (MCA) (ACAT III) designated program. • The DDS is currently in sustainment through a maintenance and service contract.

What project S0417 buys

This project provides for the Engineering and Manufacturing Development (EMD) of combat underwater submersibles, Special Operations Forces (SOF) combat diving systems, underwater support systems, and underwater equipment. This project also provides for pre-acquisition activities (materiel solutions analysis, advanced component development and prototypes) to respond to emerging requirements. These submersibles, equipment, and diving systems are used by SOF in the conduct of infiltration/extraction, personnel/material recovery, hydrographic/inland reconnaissance, beach obstacle clearance, underwater ship attack, and other missions. The capabilities of the submersible systems, diving systems, and unique equipment provides small, highly trained forces the ability to successfully engage with increased lethality while maximizing survivability of the SOF personnel and equipment.

What project S1684 buys

This project provides for the Engineering and Manufacturing Development (EMD) of combatant craft, combatant craft mission equipment, Pre-Planned Product Improvement (P3I), and technology insertion to meet the unique requirements of Special Operations Forces (SOF). This project also provides for pre-acquisition activities (materiel solutions analysis, advanced component development and prototypes) to quickly respond to new requirements for maritime craft and subsystems, leading to increased lethality and survivability of personnel and equipment. The craft capabilities and unique equipment provide small, highly trained forces the ability to successfully conduct operations associated with SOF maritime missions. The FY 2026 request for Maritime Systems includes $120.745 million of discretionary and $180.813 million of mandatory (reconciliation) funding for a total of $301.288 million.
