Note

The SMDC SPECTRE, and Joint Simulation Environment efforts are new additions to the Space And Missile Defense Integration project beginning in FY2026.

A. Mission Description and Budget Item Justification

This project funds the Space and High Altitude (SHA) Force Development activities of the United States Army Space and Missile Defense Command (USASMDC) Space and Missile Defense Center of Excellence (SMDCoE) and Technical Center (TC). The SMDCoE is the warfighting function lead and Department of the Army force modernization proponent to provide concept development and capabilities determination and integration relative to Doctrine, Organizations, Training, Material, Leadership & Education, Personnel, Facilities and Policy (DOTMLPF-P) enabling the Army to leverage the SHA domains in support of warfighting operations. As the Army proponent for SHA, the SMDCoE is responsible for developing capabilities for Army space and high-altitude mission areas, designing and documenting future space organizations, designing performing and executing wargames and experiments, and providing modeling and simulations for Army space and cyber technologies from concept to fielding. Effective integration of SHA capabilities enable the application of strategic land power and execution of Multi-Domain Operations (MDO). Additionally, SHA capabilities anchor the Army's ability to penetrate and disintegrate enemy anti-access and area denial (A2AD) systems and exploit the resultant freedom of maneuver to achieve strategic objectives and force a return to competition on favorable terms. The SMDCoE workforce supports the research and doctrine development from one of the SMDCoE principal locations in Huntsville, AL; Colorado Springs, CO; and Joint Base Langley-Eustis. Under the direction of an experienced member of the Senior Executive Service (SES), the SMDCoE receives guidance from the USASMDC Commanding General and works in close coordination with the Army's Transformation and Training Command, the United States Strategic Command, the United States Space Command and the Missile Defense Agency.

A. Mission Description and Budget Item Justification

Funding in this program supports Cyber and Electromagnetic Activities (CEMA) and Deep CEMA efforts to conduct realistic assessments of Army Integrated Fires

performance, identify system vulnerabilities, and develop mitigations against threats across the Cyber and Electromagnetic spectrum. Army radars and sensors,

integrated air and missile defense mission command and fire control, Radio Frequency (RF) data and voice networks, and Positioning, Navigation, and Timing (PNT)

technology will be assessed against current and postulated threat systems and techniques. Potential solutions developed by the Army, other Services, and Defense

agencies (for example Missile Defense Agency) to close identified gaps will be demonstrated and assessed in live and simulated CEMA environments. Assessment

events will be conducted approximately every two years. Implementation of potential solutions will occur between events using system-specific funding. The proposed

solutions will then be assessed at the next event after implementation.

Included in this line are funds to plan and execute periodic CEMA and Deep CEMA activities, in conjunction with Air and Missile Defense and Long-Range Cross Functional Teams to support the Army Integrated Fires system, to include other Service and other Agency radar and sensor systems as appropriate. Funding will be used to develop solutions to protect Army weapon systems from emerging and future CEMA threats such as advanced Electronic Warfare techniques, Radio Frequency-enabled cyber effects, use of photonics, etc. Efforts in this program will also develop tools for use by Army radar and sensor systems to improve overall system performance in contested environments, to include effects-based CEMA Modeling and Simulation (M&S) to assess Army CEMA concepts in Hardware-In-The-Loop (HWIL) environment. Additionally, virtual models of critical hardware and software are being developed and implemented to allow for destructive testing with advanced CEMA threats in a lab environment. There will be continual interface with intelligence communities to maintain cognizance of emerging CEMA threats and incorporate these threats in future CEMA demonstrations. These activities follow a time-phased roadmap that identifies the investments needed to improve the resiliency of Army radar and sensors, C2, and RF data and voice networks in contested CEMA environments.

Deep CEMA efforts support assessment of quantum-based hardware, development of software algorithms, and will integrate cutting-edge technology prototypes into Army weapon systems for advanced experimentation and assessment.

Deep CEMA efforts support assessment of quantum-based hardware, development of software algorithms, and will integrate cutting-edge technology prototypes into Army weapon systems for advanced experimentation and assessment.

The Department of War (DOW) requires a method to deliver new Fires Technology prototypes to Soldiers more rapidly, as the current process takes approximately 10 years. The Fires Technology Accelerator Prototype (FTAP) project aims to significantly shorten this development cycle by creating an adaptable, common platform that can be quickly updated based on soldier feedback and testing at events like the Concept Focused Warfighting Event (CFWE) and Project Convergence. The primary goal is to develop a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) that can be iteratively and rapidly upgraded, ensuring the warfighter receives cutting-edge capabilities efficiently.

This line does not have a funding request for FY 2027.

D. Acquisition Strategy

The XM123 ABS program plans to award Engineering and Manufacturing Development (EMD) contract(s) in FY 2027 to develop and prototype a system post Milestone

B. The program is also looking to provide accelerated capabilities and prototype hardware to Transformation In Contact (TiC) units to assess and rapidly innovate automated software and hardware to refine system design, and integrate detection and neutralization hardware and software with autonomy platforms. Feedback from TiC units for this hardware and software will inform follow-on system design and production decision to provide capabilities to additional TiC units. Prototype systems in EMD will leverage mature detection and neutralization capabilities, available common architectures, platform autonomy, Automated Target Recognition, and TiC unit feedback. A competitive assessment of government-developed and industry solutions will inform the selection of best capabilities for integration into a complete breaching system. Capabilities will be provided to TiC units as Minimum Viable Product (MVP) available to support testing and qualify safety critical systems to support production decision and fielding to additional units in greater quantities. Following EMD and a Milestone C in FY2030, Low Rate Initial Production (LRIP) will begin in FY2031, supporting operational testing the following year, with Initial Operational Capability (IOC) projected for FY2032 and Full Material Release planned for FY2033. The program will also assess rapid prototyping and fielding results to inform potential schedule adjustments.

A. Mission Description and Budget Item Justification

Project EK7 Area Denial Capability Development provides for the advanced capability development of Terrain Shaping systems and develops modernized, nonpersistent

U.S. Anti-personnel landmine policy compliant munition fields. During joint high intensity conflicts, Terrain Shaping systems disrupt, fix, turn and block enemy freedom of maneuver while enhancing friendly freedom of maneuver within the same battle space. Terrain Shaping systems enable maneuver commanders to directly influence where battlefield engagements occur. Terrain Shaping systems will replace a portion of the Family of Scatterable Mines (FASCAM) systems which are beyond their designed life. The project will develop Terrain Shaping prototype systems leveraging an accelerated agile acquisition strategy that includes rapid prototyping followed by system of system demonstration, collaboration and fielding to Engineer Brigade units to mature Terrain Shaping technologies in real time to drive innovation, enhance learning, refine requirements, and accelerate solution development. The Terrain Shaping systems will use an open system and modular approach to leverage existing Army infrastructure and capabilities to include Command, Control, Communication, Computers, Cyber, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (C5ISR) platforms, Robotic Ground Vehicles, and Unmanned Aerial Systems. The FY2027 request supports the rapid prototyping effort and delivery of initial capability to Engineer Brigade units to inform a follow-on prototyping effort and production decision.

To achieve this, Tank and Medium Caliber Ammunition projects will identify and develop promising technologies through competitive development and streamlined acquisition procedures. . Project CD8 - Long Range Precision Munition (LRPM) is the lethal variant of the Launched Effects (LE) Family of Systems which provide a range of capabilities through variations of platforms, payloads, and mission systems. LE provides tactical and operational flexibility through collaboration of heterogeneous groups of LE launched from multiple domains (land and air) in conjunction with other manned platforms, C2, unmanned systems, and sensors throughout the operational environment. The ability to interoperate and coordinate with other LE systems at long ranges and adapt to changing threats is a core concept of the Launched Effects Abbreviated Capability Development Document validated in June 2024. Primary target set for LRPM is Integrated Air Defense Systems. LRPM will provide Army Aviation and Ground Forces with a precise long range munition system to rapidly respond in a combat environment to improve the lethality and stand-off of Warfighters and aviation platforms in an Anti-Access Area Denial (A2AD) and positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) denied environment.

Project DK5 - The 155 millimeter (mm) High Explosive Conventional Artillery Modernization will develop common artillery projectiles capable of accurate delivery of multiple payloads to provide US Army's Field Artillery units with lethal and nonlethal area effects at ranges necessary to disable and destroy a broad set of targets within multiple threat formations. The Modular Artillery for Combat Effectiveness (MACE) line of effort will develop lethal area effects. The Extended Range (ER) Cargo line of effort will develop lethal and non-lethal areas effects at the longer ranges necessary to enable transformation in contact. This effort is executing an evolutionary approach to ensure a common projectile can support multiple cargo capabilities, including but not limited to lethal, Radio Frequency (RF) obscuration, visible obscuration, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR), Infra-red (IR) illumination, visible illumination, electronic attack, Terrain Shaping Obstacles, and future cargo capabilities. Fiscal Year (FY) 2027 funding will support the Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 6 demonstration, down-selection, contract award for system development, and technical assessment in support of the Army's Field Artillery modernization objectives.

Project DK7 - The 155mm Artillery Propulsion Modernization (Advanced Component Development) project supports the United States Army's Field Artillery modernization objectives by developing and maturing three propulsion system components: (1) modular charge that achieves minimum to intermediate ranges, (2) supercharge that achieves maximum range, and (3) percussion primer that initiates both the modular and supercharges. Development efforts also include the design of packaging solutions required for protection during transportation and long-term storage, digital engineering, test measurement devices and modeling and simulation tools. Design emphasis will shift from Joint Ballistic Memorandum of Understanding (JBMOU) compatibility to down selected Mobile Tactical Cannon (MTC) that maximizes interoperability with foreign allies, ensuring that the components support manufacturability within the National Technology and Industrial Base (NTIB). Fiscal Year (FY) 2027 funding will support continued prototyping and testing of propelling charges, combustible cases, additives, and ignition components to advance technologies that improve propellant effectiveness, extend cannon life, enhance primer and charge ignition performance, optimize system-level handling, rates of fire, and overall propulsion suitability and survivability.

Project DL5 - The Extended Range Artillery Munitions (ERAM) project supports the development of a 155mm system of systems that includes projectile, propellant, primer, fuze, and fuze setter which will deliver lethality and range overmatch in 155mm artillery weapon systems at more than double the current range from legacy artillery cannons and will be compatible with future 155mm artillery systems in contested Global Positioning System (GPS) environments and suboptimal atmospheric conditions. The ERAM development effort is part of an organic Long Range Precision Fires capability, which will provide overmatching cannon artillery range capability at both Tactical and operational Fires range by shaping the nature of the close fight through seeking moving and imprecisely located targets at extended ranges,

increase range capability of the current 39 caliber cannon fleet and will also be compatible with future 52 caliber and above artillery weapon systems. Fiscal Year (FY) 2027 funding will support technology maturation and risk reduction of key system and subsystems improvements in performance in difficult use cases (such as GPS contested environments and suboptimal atmospheric conditions), and integration of the tactical warhead and seeker culminating in a series of Design Verification Testing (DVT) to achieve Technology Readiness Level (TRL) six (6) maturity. The FY 2026 President's Budget request included $50.000 million of mandatory funding.

Project DN7 - The Mobile-Long Range Precision Strike Missile (M-LRPSM) is an approved Directed Requirement (DR). It must defeat Tier 1 thru Tier 3 Armor (stationary & defilade) Troops, Field Fortifications & Urban structures, and achieve a range of greater than 25 KM. It will be transportable by existing Infantry Brigade Combat Teams (IBCT) Light Tactical Vehicle platforms. It has the ability to adjust the missile flight, retarget, and abort, and have multiple missile launch capability. It must be survivable and resilient in denied and degraded environments.

Project EC3 - Ammunition Logistics Prototyping - This project supports the future force by improving the distribution, management, reliability, and survivability of ammunition through the advanced development, integration, and demonstration of logistics system enablers in alignment with Transformation In Contact and Deliberate Transformation. These enablers will improve the resiliency, efficiency and effectiveness of ammunition operations, to include retrograde, while reducing the logistics footprint on the battlefield. Technology areas addressed include handling, distribution, management (strategic and tactical), prognostics, diagnostics, asset visibility, explosives safety, autonomy friendly packaging, and palletization. The efficient deployment and sustainment of reliable ammunition is vital to success on the battlefield. This project enhances the operational effectiveness of the ammunition logistics system to ensure the distribution of reliable ammunition to the Warfighter.

Project FA5 - The Assured Precision Weapons and Munitions (APWM) - FA5 Project is focused on advanced risk mitigation, technology integration, expedited prototyping, and product support to rapidly identify, evaluate, mature, test, and demonstrate various assured precision related prototype technologies in munitions and munition resilient support and survivability components and subsystems within a complex environment with the overarching goal of solving tough operational problems and addressing critical capability gaps. The APWM project reinforces the Secretary of War's Acquisition Transformation Strategy, and the Army Transformation Initiative (ATI) major lines of effort through fast technology development and prototyping, which increases lethality and ensures future combat overmatch success of the Joint force against peer/near-peer adversaries and the China pacing threat. This project also aims to improve performance and affordability of Army and Joint capability portfolios via Joint Lethality (JL) Positioning, Navigation and Timing (PNT), Navigation Warfare (NavWar), and Army M-code Global Positioning System (GPS) coordinated efforts and integration of innovative industry contributions. The APWM project directly supports the top Army and Joint force modernization priorities in support of the NDS and multiple Public Law (PL) related congressional imperatives. Funding will support engagement by munition PNT and NavWar related Lethality experts in the development, evaluation, and technology delivery activities of the M-code GPS as well as the Army's continuous adaptation of PNT, NavWar, and Electronic Warfare (EW) enabled capabilities to achieve accurate extended range and hypersonic lethality, increase warfighter survivability, maximizing precision munition stowed kills and countering Anti-Access/Area Denial (A2/AD) threats. The APWM project enables component and subsystem architecture input essential for precision munitions and other such lethality delivery mechanisms operating in a complex EW threat environments, M-code GPS and technology integration and evaluation (including verifying and validating this capability for future Joint precision munitions), and maturation of alternative PNT and EW/NavWar related technologies, components, payloads, and solutions. Overall, these efforts contribute to informed Army modernization, portfolio, and milestone decisions enhancing the Department's capacity to deploy new technologies and capabilities swiftly.

A. Mission Description and Budget Item Justification

The 155mm Artillery Propulsion Modernization (Advanced Component Development) project supports the United States Army's Field Artillery modernization objectives

by developing and maturing three propulsion system components: (1) modular charge that achieves minimum to intermediate ranges, (2) supercharge that achieves

maximum range, and (3) percussion primer that initiates both the modular and supercharges. Development efforts also include the design of packaging solutions

required for protection during transportation and long-term storage, digital engineering, test measurement devices and modeling and simulation tools. Design emphasis

will shift from Joint Ballistic Memorandum of Understanding (JBMOU) compatibility to down selected Mobile Tactical Cannon (MTC) that maximizes interoperability with

foreign allies, ensuring that the components support manufacturability within the National Technology and Industrial Base (NTIB). Fiscal Year (FY) 2027 funding will

support continued prototyping and testing of propelling charges, combustible cases, additives, and ignition components to advance technologies that improve propellant

effectiveness, extend cannon life, enhance primer and charge ignition performance, optimize system-level handling, rates of fire, and overall propulsion suitability and

survivability.

A. Mission Description and Budget Item Justification

The Extended Range Artillery Munitions (ERAM) project supports the development of a 155mm system of systems that includes projectile, propellant, primer, fuse, and

fuse setter which will deliver lethality and range overmatch in 155mm artillery weapon systems at more than double the current range from legacy artillery cannons and

will be compatible with future 155mm artillery systems in contested Global Positioning System (GPS) environments and suboptimal atmospheric conditions. The ERAM

development effort is part of an organic Long Range Precision Fires capability, which will provide overmatching cannon artillery range capability at both Tactical and

operational Fires range by shaping the nature of the close fight through seeking moving and imprecisely located targets at extended ranges, increase range capability

of the current 39 caliber cannon fleet and will also be compatible with future 52 caliber and above artillery weapon systems. Fiscal Year (FY) 2027 funding will support

technology maturation and risk reduction of key system and subsystems improvements in performance in difficult use cases (such as GPS contested environments

and suboptimal atmospheric conditions), and integration of the tactical warhead and seeker culminating in a series of Design Verification Testing (DVT) to achieve

Technology Readiness Level (TRL) six (6) maturity.

Prototyping will focus on the following areas: hot start and efficient use of multi-source PNT solutions for munitions, and automate the translation of NavWar Situational Awareness to Situational Understanding to reduce cognitive burden on operators meeting speed of battle demands in complex environments. Work with PoRs to integrate and implement NavWar information to support NavWar situational understanding and munitions decision support tools. Dissemination of hot start data needed for collaborative swarming munition seeker applications to avoid overkill and maximize efficiency. Support live-fire demonstrations of automation capabilities and inform incremental transition of capabilities to multiple PoRs with initial capability transition in FY 2027. Continue to identify, design and architect future munition resilient support and survivability interdependencies for a ore integrated NavWar operational capability.
