A. Mission Description and Budget Item Justification

Multiple projects within Program Element Weapons and Munitions - Eng Dev, are key enablers of the Army's Field Artillery modernization priorities: 155mm Artillery Propulsion Modernization (Project DK8), 155mm High Explosive Rocket Assisted Projectile Extended Range (Project EU6) and Precision Guidance Kit (Project S36).

Project BY1, Next Generation Combat Vehicle Ammunition: 50x228 millimeter (mm) family of ammunition is a critical technology development in response to the Next Generation Combat Vehicle (NGCV) Abbreviated Capability Development Document for weapon qualification, platform integration, and fielding of the XM30 Mechanized Infantry Combat Vehicle (MICV) primary weapon system (XM913). This effort includes the development of three capabilities: The XM1202 Target Practice with Tracer (TP-T); the XM1203 Armor Piercing Fin Stabilized Discarding Sabot with Tracer (APFSDS-T); and the XM1204 High Explosive Airburst with Trace (HEAB-T). The training cartridge will allow the Warfighter to train in a cost-effective manner and the tactical cartridges will provide enhanced lethality at increased ranges when engaging personnel threats in the open, defilade, and under the cover of urban structures, Anti-Tank Guided Missiles (ATGM) teams, and current and projected future peer armored materiel threats. This effort is operating under Middle Tier Acquisition authority for rapid prototyping to qualify the three munitions in order to support the NGCV Cross Functional Team (CFT) timeline for First Unit Equipped (FUE). Fiscal Year (FY) 2027 funding supports Developmental Test and Evaluation (DT&E), Milestone C documentation, design optimization, and preparation activities for prototype fielding.

Project CE3, Precision Munition (Sniper): The Precision Munition (Sniper) project is a critical technology development in response to the Precision Munition Capabilities Development Documents (CDD) for the ammunition required to support the Precision Sniper Rifle (PSR) / sniper weapons systems. The objective is to transfer the latest lethality technology into the suite of ammunition used by snipers. The Precision Munition improvement is split into three capability areas: Anti-Materiel (AM), Improved Performance Round (IPR), and Subsonic. The AM and IPR capabilities will enhance lethal effects at greater distances. The Subsonic capability will increase soldier survivability at close range by providing a low-sound signature munition that is undetectable to the enemy. Fiscal Year (FY) 2027 will conclude both Engineering and Manufacturing Development (EMD) activities and the Production Qualification Test (PQT) with the culmination of Milestone C.

Project DC9, 30mm Multi-Mode Proximity Airburst (MMPA) Maneuver Short Range Air Defense Increment 3 (M-SHORAD INC 3): The 30mm MMPA M-SHORAD INC 3 / Project DC9 funds the development of the 30mm XM1223 MMPA munition and respective weapon contact setter under the Middle Tier of Acquisition (MTA) authority for rapid prototyping. The objective is to enhance the operational effectiveness of the M-SHORAD Inc 3 platform, Mobile-Low, Slow, Small Unmanned Aircraft Integrated Defeat System (M-LIDS) and any other Joint Force platforms that are equipped with a 30mm weapon system and have a Counter Unmanned Aerial Systems (C-UAS)

mission. The programmable fuze modes in the munition include proximity airburst to defeat personnel in the open and small Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) targets, proximity airburst delay to defeat personnel in defilade, gated proximity airburst to minimize collateral damage in cluttered environments, mechanical point detonate to defeat light materiel targets, and self-destruct to minimize collateral damage. The XM1223 will allow the platforms to conduct counter-UAS missions while retaining the ability to quickly transition to ground targets without having to swap ammunition. Fiscal Year (FY) 2027 funds support conducting Developmental Test & Evaluation (DT&E), Operational Assessment, and Milestone C preparation. The total cost of the MMPA Middle Tier of Acquisition (MTA) effort is $54.4 million RDT&E from FY24 to FY28. The remainder of the MMPA MTA is fully funded across the Future Years Defense Program.

Project DK8, The 155mm Artillery Propulsion Modernization (System Demonstration) project develops and qualifies advanced propulsion systems, to include propelling charge, modular charge, ignition systems, propellant, and packaging solutions in support of the Army's Field artillery modernization objectives. Novel propulsion technologies will be matured and tested into the propelling charges and ignition systems to advance and innovate artillery firing performance and enhance manufacturability of the industrial base. Solutions will be integrated into a system of systems capability to ensure interoperability, closing fires capability gaps to destroy or neutralize artillery targets out to 70 kilometers. Fiscal Year (FY) 2027 funding will support system demonstration and integration with down selected Mobile Tactical Cannon (MTC), verify performance of propelling charge and ignition systems, and evaluate integration with handling and stowage systems.

Project EC4, Non-Standard Simulator Munitions will standardize various pyrotechnics that simulate battlefield effects, develop, demonstrate, and qualify various screening effects in grenades, vehicle launched effects, unmanned aerial vehicles, smoke pots, signals, counter sensors, and countermeasures. The Army's Combat Training Centers (CTCs) are currently using non-standard munitions to replicate both conventional and asymmetric warfare battlefield effects. These modified commercial-off-the-shelf products have not been type-classified or material released and are not safe or sustainable for use by Soldiers. This effort will develop and demonstrate various pyrotechnic simulators, replicating both conventional and asymmetric warfare effects and munitions such as: Black smoke signature (burning vehicles, buildings, and equipment); Yellow smoke signature (chemical, biological or nuclear effects); Mini Blast to simulate hostile fire and small Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) during mounted operations in urban terrain; Micro pyrotechnics to simulate indoor hostile fire and IED effects that are capable of being integrated into existing facilities; Rocket Propelled Grenade (RPG) simulators to replicate the flight of a Rocket Propelled Grenade; Macro Pyro to simulate hostile fire, booby trap, and IED simulations both indoor and outdoors; High Order Blast Effect (HiOBE) used to replicate a Vehicle Borne Improvised Explosive Device (VBIED), building explosions, and other significant explosive events; Artillery airburst simulator to replicate indirect fire; Antitank Guided Missile and Rocket (AGMR) simulator to replicate surface to air missile or shoulder launched rocket; Tracer Fire-back simulator to replicate enemy small arms fire and anti-aircraft fire; Electrically initiated smoke pots and smoke grenades of various colors; Multi-spectral and screening effects of grenades, vehicle launched effects, smoke pots, chaff, signals for unmanned systems, unmanned aerial vehicles, and ground vehicles; Counter sensor effects; Pyrotechnic and other effects for increased lethality against robotic targets. Standardization will reduce training costs, eliminate redundancies between systems, mitigate environmental concerns and safety risks associated with realistic scenario based training and improve screening effects.

Project EL9, Ammunition Logistics Prototyping: This Project supports the future force by maturing and integrating prototypes and commercial off the shelf technologies fully endorsed by the warfighter and associated Combat developers following a system of systems approach. The selected capabilities for continued investment have been proven through warfighter exercises and Soldier touch points to materially improve elements of tactical Ammo transportation, distribution, inventory management, availability and survivability as logistics system enablers within the formation. These enablers will improve the efficiency and effectiveness of ammunition operations, to include retrograde, while reducing the logistics footprint on the battlefield. This project enhances the operational effectiveness of the ammunition logistics system

to ensure the distribution of reliable ammunition to the warfighter. Funding will be focused on integrating mature technologies into ammunition resupply enablers and developing interfaces with applicable Program of Records as recommended by the Contested Logistics, Long Range Precision Fires, Next-Generation Combat Vehicles, Soldier Lethality Cross Functional Teams.

Project EP7, Aviation Airborne Expendable Countermeasures (AAECM) will support Integrated System Design (ISD), System Capability (SC) and Manufacturing Process Demonstrations (MPD) on expendable countermeasure flares and decoys to include the XM215 Infrared (IR) countermeasure Flare, XM20 and M1A1/M1E2 Radio Frequency (RF) expendables. These expendable countermeasures systems are an essential part of survivability equipment for Army aircraft. Army Research Development Technology & Evaluation (RDT&E) efforts are coordinated with Program Executive Office (PEO) Aviation to address the AAECM capability, a critical enabler for enduring aircraft and the Future Vertical Lift (FVL) - Aircraft Survivability Equipment (ASE) Cross Functional Team (CFT) within Army's Top modernization priorities.

Project EU4, 40 millimeter (mm) High Velocity (HV) High Explosive Dual Purpose - Air burst (HEDP-AB): 40 millimeter (mm) High Velocity (HV) High Explosive Dual Purpose - Air burst (HEDP-AB) is a new capability identified as a Warfighter counter-defilade requirement in the 40mm High Velocity Improved High Explosive Dual Purpose Cartridge Capability Development Document (CDD) and will provide the Mk19 Mod 3 Grenade Machine Gun (GMG) an airburst capable cartridge with the ability of achieving required lethal effects against enemy targets in the open and in defilade while maintaining the capability to defeat unarmored and lightly armored vehicles. XM1176 HEDP-AB cartridges are manufactured by de-fuzing legacy M430A1 cartridges and installing a new airburst capable fuze onto the M430A1 warhead. In FY 2024, Project EU4 / 40mm HV Improved High Explosive Dual Purpose program funding had strategic pause to ensure schedule and funding requirements are in alignment. In FY 2027 there is no funding request.

Project EU6, The 155 millimeter (mm) High Explosive (HE) Rocket Assisted Projectile Extended Range supports the modernization priorities identified in the Army's Field Artillery modernization objectives. This venture develops an innovative rocket design with a lethal warhead that is compatible with unguided and guided fuzes to meet extended range and accuracy requirements. The Next Generation Rocket Assisted Projectile (NGRAP) development effort will first deliver a solution to increase ranges from 30km to 40km in current 39 caliber systems and will also improve accuracy, lethality, and ranges utilizing 39 caliber and Extended Range Cannons. Fiscal Year (FY) 2027 funding will support critical verification testing and qualification activities required to achieve Critical Design Review (CDR).

Project EW1, 40 millimeter (mm) Low Velocity High Explosive Air Burst (LV-HEAB): The 40 millimeter (mm) Low Velocity High Explosive Air Burst (HEAB) is a new capability identified as a Warfighter counter-defilade requirement in the Capability Development Document (CDD), 40mm Low Velocity (LV) Family of Ammunition Annex. The HEAB tactical cartridge allows the Warfighter to engage targets at increased effective ranges using the 40mm M320 Grenade Launcher. The HEAB cartridge provides the grenadier with a higher probability of achieving a first shot kill against enemy personnel, coupled with the ability to defeat personnel targets in defilade positions. When deployed against point and area targets, the cartridge inflicts incapacitating effects against personnel beyond those offered by the current M433 High Explosive Dual Purpose (HEDP) cartridge. The cartridge provides lethal effects against targets with improved accuracy and greater standoff ranges resulting in increased soldier survivability. In FY 2027 there is no funding request.

Project FA6, 30mm Lethality: The 30 millimeter (mm) Lethality project funds the development of the family of 30mm cartridges, to provide anti-personnel effects, counter defilade, anti-materiel and counter unmanned aerial systems (C-UAS). This ammunition will increase the effectiveness and lethality for all platforms equipped with a

medium caliber 30mm weapon system to include the Stryker Infantry Carrier Vehicle (ICV) and proposed Next Generation Combat Vehicle (NGCV) variants. The tactical Armor Piercing cartridge will provide an organic direct fire capability to support infantry at a greater range and will improve lethality when engaging light-to-medium armored vehicles. The airburst cartridge will provide the Warfighter with increased lethality against troops in the open, counter defilade, Anti-Tank Guided Missile (ATGM) teams, troops behind urban structures and counter unmanned aerial systems . The training cartridges will be ballistically matched to the tactical cartridges, allowing the Warfighter to train in a cost-effective manner, and on CONUS and OCONUS training ranges. In Fiscal Year (FY) 2027, this project FA6 / 30mm Lethality will transition to production.

Project FJ4, Cannon-Delivered Area Effects Munitions (C-DAEM): The C-DAEM project will provide United States (U.S.) ground forces with the capability to engage area personnel through armored targets, while denying threat forces full operational freedom within the targeted area. An Analysis of Alternatives (AoA) was completed in January 2018 to inform Army acquisition and investment decisions regarding replacement of the current stockpile of 155 millimeter (mm) Dual Purpose Improved Conventional Munitions (DPICM) with Department of War (DoW) policy compliant munitions and address anti-armor and extended range capability requirements. The Army validated two materiel solutions for C-DAEM to be pursued in parallel to support the Army's modernization priorities: C-DAEM Armor and C-DAEM DPICM Replacement. C-DAEM Armor will destroy moved and moving self-propelled howitzers, infantry fighting vehicles and tanks. C-DAEM DPICM Replacement will destroy personnel through soft-skinned targets. This project does not have a Fiscal Year (FY) 2027 budget request.

Project FL4, Small Caliber Ammo for Next Gen Squad Weapons: The Small Caliber Ammo for Next Gen Squad Weapons project is a critical technology development in response to the Soldier Lethality Cross Functional Team (SL CFT) Initial Capability Document (ICD) for the ammunition required to support the rapid prototyping, development, and fielding of the Next Generation Squad Weapons (NGSW) under the Middle Tier of Acquisition (MTA) authority for rapid prototyping/rapid fielding. The objective is to develop and Full Materiel Release (FMR) the new 6.8mm ammunition in parallel with the NGSW rifle and automatic rifle. The 6.8mm ammunition is split into multiple ammunition variants, the General Purpose (GP), the Special Purpose (SP), the Reduced Range Ammunition (RRA), Tracer Ammunition, Blank Ammunition, the Close Combat Mission Capability Kit (CCMCK) training ammunition, Drill Dummy Inert (DDI) cartridge, and High-Pressure Test (HPT) cartridge. FY 2027 funding will support CCMCK developmental tests, SP Complex Target Terminal Characterization (CTTC), SP Live Fire Test and Evaluation (LFT&E), SP Full Material Release (FMR), SP Persistent Design Optimization and develop prototypes for Limited Lethality Assessment. FY 2027 funding for SP will also support initiation of detailed design activities for a facility that enables prototyping of new concepts for the Persistent Design Optimization effort. Fiscal Year (FY) 2027 funding will support activities for transition from Middle Tier of Acquisition (MTA) to Major Capability Acquisition (MCA).

Project MS1, Battalion Mortar System Modernization: The Battalion Mortar System Modernization project supports the development of modernized Mortar Weapon Systems to support Mobile Brigade Combat Teams (MBCTs), Infantry Brigade Combat Teams (IBCTs), Stryker Brigade Combat Teams (SBCTs), and Armored Brigade Combat Teams (ABCTs). Efforts include development and qualification of modernized mortar systems and their required components to include fire control and ammunition that will increase range, lethality, survivability, mobility and readiness. The weapon and fire control will be used as a standalone man-portable system with digital fire control capability or as a modular system that can be hosted onto light tactical vehicles such as the High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle (HMMWV), the Infantry Squad Vehicle (ISV) and/or Joint Lightweight Tactical Vehicle (JLTV) when a mobility kit is utilized. This modernized system will increase survivability, maneuverability, and provide tactical advantage to the Warfighter when matched with pacing threat for direct and indirect fire and will provide overmatching capabilities. Initial characterization efforts will establish a firm foundation for proposed advanced indirect fire systems while allowing for incremental improvements and updates as technologies continue to mature, which will maintain and enhance performance, improve lethality, responsiveness, and reliability of indirect fire systems across the

A. Mission Description and Budget Item Justification

The 155mm Artillery Propulsion supports the Army's Field Artillery modernization objectives, which includes Paladin Integrated Management (PIM) Armament Upgrade

and Next Generation Cannon, and all utilized cannons that are 52-calibers or longer. Supercharge is a stand-alone top-zone 155 millimeter (mm) propelling charge

required to achieve maximum range requirements beyond 50 kilometers (km) from Self-Propelled Howitzer (SPH) equipped with cannon length greater than 52-calibers.

Supercharge will achieve lethality overmatch out to 70km from future US-developed and produced Long Range Precision Fires Weapon Systems using both existing

and developmental extended range projectiles and will potentially increase range with compatible legacy projectiles up to thirty percent. Supercharge is composed of

an earlier bag variant and later combustible cartridge case, integral metal stub case, electrically initiated primer, and advanced artillery propellant. This effort supports

the Urgent Materiel Release (UMR) Supercharge (bag configuration) qualification required for fielding an initial capability of two battalions, and also supports the

development of the Full Materiel Release (FMR) Supercharge that will address high technology and integration risks unique to achieving extended range to include

improved design opportunities for pressure temperature curve, cannon tube wear and ensure fielding robustness. The 155mm Artillery Propulsion does not have a Fiscal

Year (FY) 2027 budget request.

D. Acquisition Strategy

155mm Artillery Propulsion Supercharge consists of critical technology prototyping, testing, and demonstration of two variants: (1) UMR Supercharge (2-piece Bag

configuration) to deliver extended range capability beyond 50km to support the Cannon Modernization Strategy that includes PIM Armament Upgrade, Next Generation

Cannon, and (2) FMR Supercharge, which will address high technology and integration risks unique to achieving increased range.

UMR Supercharge will utilize several competitively awarded Defense Ordnance Technology Consortium (DOTC) Other Transaction Agreement (OTA) Initiatives for the maturation and integration of components. These contracts will execute UMR Supercharge through qualification testing as well as transition to procurement of quantities required for fielding an initial capability of two battalions. Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) based production contract(s) will be awarded for UMR quantities.

FMR Supercharge will also utilize several competitively awarded DOTC OTA Initiatives for design risk reduction of the various new and existing Supercharge components, system integration, developmental testing and qualification. Propulsion risk reduction activities will be applied to address UMR Supercharge temperature sensitivity, energy, tube wear, rough handling robustness and muzzle pressure/blast overpressure. FAR based production contract(s) will be awarded.

A. Mission Description and Budget Item Justification

Project EC4 Non-Standard Simulator Munitions will standardize various pyrotechnics that simulate battlefield effects and develop, demonstrate, and qualify various

screening effects in grenades, vehicle launched effects, unmanned aerial vehicles, smoke pots, signals, counter sensors, and countermeasures. The Army's Combat

Training Centers (CTCs) are currently using non-standard munitions to replicate both conventional and asymmetric warfare battlefield effects. These modified

commercial-off-the-shelf products have not been type-classified or material released and are not safe or sustainable for use by Soldiers. This effort will develop and

demonstrate various pyrotechnic simulators, replicating both conventional and asymmetric warfare effects and munitions such as:

-Black smoke signature (burning vehicles, buildings, and equipment);

-Yellow smoke signature (chemical, biological or nuclear effects);

-Mini Blast to simulate hostile fire and small Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) during mounted operations in urban terrain;

-Micro pyrotechnics to simulate indoor hostile fire and IED effects that are capable of being integrated into existing facilities;

-Rocket Propelled Grenade (RPG) simulators to replicate the flight of a Rocket Propelled Grenade;

-Macro Pyro to simulate hostile fire, booby trap, and IED simulations both indoor and outdoors;

-High Order Blast Effect (HiOBE) used to replicate a Vehicle Borne Improvised Explosive Device (VBIED), building explosions, and other significant explosive events;

-Artillery airburst simulator to replicate indirect fire;

-Antitank Guided Missile and Rocket (AGMR) simulator to replicate surface to air missile or shoulder launched rocket;

-Tracer Fire-back simulator to replicate enemy small arms fire and anti-aircraft fire;

-Electrically and mechanically initiated smoke pots and smoke grenades of various colors;

-Multi-spectral and screening effects of grenades, vehicle launched effects, smoke pots, chaff, signals for unmanned systems, unmanned aerial vehicles, and ground vehicles.

-Counter sensor effects

-Pyrotechnic and other effects for increased lethality against robotic targets.

Standardization will reduce training costs, eliminate redundancies between systems, mitigate environmental concerns and safety risks associated with realistic scenario-based training, improve screening effects and countermeasures.

A. Mission Description and Budget Item Justification

The 40 millimeter (mm) Low Velocity High Explosive Air Burst (HEAB) is a new capability identified as a Warfighter counter-defilade requirement in the Capability

Development Document (CDD), 40mm Low Velocity (LV) Family of Ammunition Annex. The HEAB tactical cartridge allows the Warfighter to engage targets at

increased effective ranges using the 40mm M320 Grenade Launcher. The HEAB cartridge provides the grenadier with a higher probability of achieving a first shot kill

against enemy personnel, coupled with the ability to defeat personnel targets in defilade positions. When deployed against point and area targets, the cartridge inflicts

incapacitating effects against personnel beyond those offered by the current M433 High Explosive Dual Purpose (HEDP) cartridge. The cartridge provides lethal effects

against targets with improved accuracy and greater standoff ranges resulting in increased soldier survivability. In FY 2027 there is no funding request.

A. Mission Description and Budget Item Justification

The Cannon-Delivered Area Effects Munitions (C-DAEM) Project will provide United States (U.S.) ground forces with the capability to engage area personnel through

armored targets, while denying threat forces full operational freedom within the targeted area. An Analysis of Alternatives (AoA) was completed in January 2018 to

inform Army acquisition and investment decisions regarding replacement of the current stockpile of 155 millimeter (mm) Dual Purpose Improved Conventional Munitions

(DPICM) with Department of War (DoW) policy compliant munitions and address anti-armor and extended range capability requirements. The Army validated two

materiel solutions for C-DAEM to be pursued in parallel to support the Army's modernization priorities: C-DAEM Armor and C-DAEM DPICM Replacement. C-DAEM

Armor will destroy moved and moving self-propelled howitzers, infantry fighting vehicles and tanks. C-DAEM DPICM Replacement will destroy personnel through soft-

skinned targets. This Project does not have a Fiscal Year (FY) 2027 Budget Request.

The Analysis of Alternatives (AoA) completed on 31 January 2018 qualified a significant enhancement of operational fires effectiveness, efficiency, and maneuver support when cannon artillery was equipped with a dedicated extended range anti-armor projectile. The U.S. Government reduced risk by executing prototype testing and evaluation efforts, while utilizing the AoA results to shape the selection criteria. C-DAEM Armor used the selection criteria to sponsor competitive demonstrations for C-DAEM Armor to streamline the acquisition process. The U.S. Government has selected the most promising candidate that will address medium to heavy armored targets in accordance with the validated Capabilities Development Document (CDD). C-DAEM Armor is utilizing competitively awarded Defense Ordnance Technology Consortium (DOTC) Other Transaction Agreements (OTA) to further support development and testing of the selected C-DAEM Armor solution in accordance with the decisions granted at the most recent Army Requirements Oversight Council (AROC) in August 2022. C-DAEM Armor is utilizing competitively awarded DOTC OTAs to complete development and qualification activities, including the M-Code Global Positioning System (GPS) Receiver integration efforts, in support of Milestone C for Low Rate Initial Production (LRIP) and Full Rate Production (FRP).
