The vertical scale does not start at zero: the baseline sits just below this program’s smallest year, so a low point on this line is not a small amount. Read the shape for direction and the grid below for the figures.

Description
Description — Machine Gun Ammunition
Provides procurement of 20MM/25MM ammunition that supports various aircraft gun systems for several Type/Model/Series (T/M/S) aircraft. Funding also includes the integrated logistics support, production engineering support, and product improvement programs in support of all ammunition procurements. The ammunition procurements fall into three categories: Target Practice (TP), High Explosive Incendiary (HEI), and inert. The TP and inert rounds are used for training. The HEI rounds are used for warfighting and training and also include Semi Armor Piercing High Explosive Incendiary (SAPHEI) rounds. Baseline funding procurements are based on the relationship to inventory requirements and expenditure data. All 20MM/25MM ammunition is procured by the Joint Munitions Command, Rock Island, Illinois. 20MM rounds are procured in both linkless and linked configurations. The linkless (or bulk) rounds are used in the M61A1/A2 Gun Systems in the F/A-18 aircraft and the M197 Linkless Feed Gun System on the AH-1Z aircraft. The linked rounds are used in the M197 gun on MH60 aircraft for the Fixed Forward Firing Weapon (FFFW). 25MM rounds are procured in the linkless configuration and are used in the GAU-12 Gun System in the AV-8B aircraft and the GAU-22 Gun System in the F-35B&C.
Justification
Justification — Machine Gun Ammunition
FY 2026 baseline funding is required to procure 20MM Linkless TP, 25MM Linkless TP, and provide associated support costs. The increase in 25MM Linkless, TP from FY 2025 to FY 2026 is due to the USMC FY 2026 investment of $5.0M for 25MM Training Rounds for Air-To-Ground Weapons. 25MM Linkless, TP training ammunition is established within the Training and Readiness (T&R) flight qualification and provides pre-combat certification prior to F-35 deployment. The FY 2026 request was reduced by $0.001 million for Advisory and Assistance Services to promote efficiencies and advance the policies of the Administration in alignment with Executive Order 14222, "Implementing the President's Department of Government Efficiency Cost Efficiency Initiative."
