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.

Asked vs spent: the PB2024 book requested $113.0M for FY2024; the PB2026 book reported $97.6M as actual total obligation authority — $15.4M below the request. 97.6 − 113.0 = -15.4 USD millions — the compact figures above are rounded for reading.

Description
Mission — FRIGATE Development
The Constellation Class Frigate (FFG 62) is a more lethal and survivable multi-mission small surface combatant. With FFG 62, the Navy will maximize the small surface combatant capabilities in the Anti-Surface Warfare (SUW), Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW), Electronic Warfare/Information Operations (EW/IO), Air Warfare (AW) mission areas, and survivability while keeping the ship an affordable component of the "high-low" mix of surface ships. The FFG 62 Capability Development Document (CDD) was approved by the Joint Requirement Oversight Council (JROC) in Feb 2019 and completed Milestone B, an informed Independent Cost Estimate, and award of the Detail Design & Construction (DD&C) contract in April 2020. FY26 funds continue development of the Variable Depth Sonar (VDS) capability via the Combined Active Passive Towed Array Sonar (CAPTAS) and continue Combat System and AEGIS Weapon System (AWS) integration, Live Fire Test & Evaluation (LFT&E) and Developmental Testing (DT) support as well as Cyber security implementation and Land Based Engineering Site (LBES) construction. FY25 funds continue development of the Variable Depth Sonar (VDS) capability via the Combined Active Passive Towed Array Sonar (CAPTAS) and continue Combat System and Over-the-Horizon (OTH) development and AEGIS Weapon System (AWS) integration, Live Fire Test & Evaluation (LFT&E) and Developmental Testing (DT) support as well as Cyber security implementation and Land Based Engineering Site (LBES) construction. FY24 funds developed Variable Depth Sonar (VDS) capability via the Combined Active Passive Towed Array Sonar (CAPTAS) and continue Combat System and Over-the-Horizon (OTH) development and AEGIS Weapon System (AWS) integration, test and evaluation efforts including Live Fire Test & Evaluation (LFT&E) and Developmental Testing (DT) support as well as Cyber security implementation and LBES construction.
Mission — Frigate
Frigate (FFG 62 Class) efforts are composed of the design and development for a more lethal and survivable multi-mission warship focused on Anti-Surface Warfare (SUW) and Anti-Submarine Warfare capabilities (ASW), local air defense and enhanced survivability features. FFG 62 Class design modifications for added capability over the Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) include an Over-the-Horizon (OTH) surface-to-surface missile system, upgraded air defense weapons and sensors, advanced electronic warfare system and improved decoys, local air defense, and enhanced survivability features. This effort will encompass design, development, and technical issue resolution to support design maturity for DD&C FY 2020 contract award. Certification and testing efforts are also required to support the FFG 62 Class delivery, operations, and introduction to the fleet. The FFG 62 Class design and development phases include platform design, development and risk reduction; combat system element integration; total ship system engineering and integration; combat systems and warfare systems certification; and planning and conduct of system testing. These efforts include procurement of combat and warfare system equipment and/or simulators to support production representative testing in support of design, development, and certification efforts and ordnance in support of testing. This funding will also include efforts and activities required for formal Developmental and Operational testing of the FFG 62 program. Test and Evaluation (T&E) will concentrate on verifying integration and interoperability of employed technologies and systems in the FFG 62 design to achieve the mission capabilities and performance requirements as defined in the FFG 62 Class Capability Development Document (CDD). Funding will also be for the execution of LFT&E DT, C4I integration & test, cyber test and certification, warfare system integration & test and certification, aviation (manned and unmanned) integration & test and certification. T&E functions will include the evaluation of Critical Technical Parameters (CTP), Measures of Effectiveness (MOE), Measures of Suitability (MOS), and Key Performance Parameters (KPP).
Justification
Accomplishments & Planned Programs (2)
Test & Evaluation
Conduct FFG test planning in support of Developmental Testing (DT) and Operational Testing (OT). Plan for and begin testing in support of Live Fire Test and Evaluation (LFT&E) modeling and small-scale empirical testing to support initiation of efforts to model FFG survivability. Plan for and begin aligning resources to conduct future Early Integration Tests and Cybersecurity Tests as risk reductions for ship construction industrial stage testing. Refine testing schedules and testing resource requirements timelines to support later integration and certification testing. Complete high-level plans such as Test and Evaluation Master Plan (TEMP) and LFT&E Management Plan and begin review and refinement of more detailed test plans and procedures. Plan for and execute DT, C4I integration & test, cyber test and certification, warfare system integration & test and certification, aviation (manned and unmanned) integration & test and certification.
Ship Systems / C4I / Warfare Systems Engineering
The Frigate (FFG 62 Class) is a multi-mission ship that focuses on Anti-Surface Warfare (SUW), Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) capabilities and local air defense. Specific capabilities include Over-the-Horizon (OTH), upgraded Air Defense weapons and sensors, advanced electronic warfare system and improved decoys, towed array, torpedo defense, and enhanced survivability features.

Awards
No awards are linked to this program element at high or medium confidence — the budget→award crosswalk only asserts links it can defend, and this line has none yet.
Lobbying mentions
No Senate LDA lobbying filing in the tracked data mentions this program element by code or alias.
Oversight
Department-level designation (not specific to this program)
GAO lists 5 high-risk areas for DOD as a whole. That designation covers the department, not Frigate Development. No program-specific GAO finding for this line is in the ingested data. See the DOD oversight record.
Program dossier
No research dossier for this program — dossiers cover 50 of 1,938 programs, the largest fully J-book-detailed lines by FY2026 requested dollars. why no dossier here? →
