Missile Warning System Modernization… (PE 0605049A) · Army

What it is

Missile Warning System Modernization (MWSM) (0605049A) is an Army research & development line funded in the Research, Development, Test and Evaluation, Army account. Its J-book detail breaks the line into 1 project.

What changed

No FY25→26 comparison — endpoints unavailable or on different bases.

Who gets it

No company is linked to this line. Award records do not carry the program element, so the crosswalk is silent here — why.

FY25→26 Change

No comparison: endpoints unavailable or on different bases

No FY2026 R-1/P-1 request line for this program element. The FY2026 President's Budget request workbook carries no FY2026 line for it; its last workbook figure is FY2024. The PB2026 J-book detail below does carry an FY2026 row for this line, recorded as zero. A workbook blank and a documented zero are different records, and this page shows both. An absent line is not by itself an ending — PB2026 renumbered program elements at scale across the services and defense agencies, so this work may continue under a different number. No successor is linked for this line: this site's program-lineage layer holds no keyed edge pointing forward from here. That is an absence in this site's lineage layer, not a finding about the program: if the J-book narrative on this page describes a realignment, it is quoted below in the document's own words, and this note does not restate it.

FY2026 award data is a partial year — USAspending reports awards on a rolling basis, and this corpus runs through 2026-09-04. why partial FY2026 data? →

Budget trajectory

The program's 2 summary figures for FY24 to FY26, plotted in fiscal-year order: this line ends lower than it starts. The points are the summary cards above, not a separate derivation; the table beside the chart carries each figure with its own citation.

Budget trajectory: one row per fiscal year, carrying the summary figure the sparkline plots. Every figure opens its own citation.
Fiscal year	Amount
FY24	$19.5MR-1 TOA · PB2026
FY26	$0J-book detail · PB2026

Decade view

P-1/R-1 workbook TOA basis, shown compact in $B/$M (the workbook records USD thousands); each figure cites its own President's Budget edition

9 fiscal years of this program as published (FY2016–FY2024): a line through the actuals (filled dots), with the enacted (hollow circles) and request (diamonds) markers each edition reported. Read it for direction, not for precision — this program's actuals line rises across the span, and 2 years are a break in the line rather than a low value: an edition the program is absent from, never interpolated. The grid below is the same data as text, one cited figure per cell.

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.

● actuals (line) · ○ enacted · ◇ request — gaps are editions the program is absent from, never interpolated.

Decade series values by fiscal year and President's Budget edition: one row per series (actuals, enacted, request), one column per fiscal year. Every figure opens its own citation.
Series	FY16	FY17	FY18	FY19	FY20	FY21	FY22	FY23	FY24
Actuals	$0	$0	$12.5M	$7.32M	$1.48M	–	$0	–	$19.5M
Enacted	–	$0	$55.8M	$8.27M	$1.54M	$0	–	$0	$27.6M
Request		–	$55.8M	$28.3M	$1.54M	$0	$0	–	$27.6M

blank = series not published for this year; – = absent from that edition.

Asked vs spent: the PB2018 book requested $55.8M for FY2018; the PB2020 book reported $12.5M as actual total obligation authority — $43.3M below the request. 12.5 − 55.8 = -43.3 USD millions — the compact figures above are rounded for reading.

Program lineage

No predecessor/successor lineage was recorded for this program element — no FY-to-FY transfer into or out of this line was stated in the ingested J-books, and none was inferred from the program structure.

Description

Mission — Missile Warning System Modernization (MWSM)

The Missile Warning System Modernization (MWSM) budget line includes funding to support the development and integration of improved Aircraft Survivability Equipment (ASE) products onto current US Army Aviation platforms as well as Future Long Range Assault Aircraft (FLRAA) and future platforms. The ITDS (Improved Threat Detection System) will detect, classify, cue, and declare on existing and emerging Electro-Optical/Infra-red (EO/IR) Guided Man-Portable Air Defense Systems (MANPADS), Rocket Propelled Grenades (RPG)/ unguided rockets, Anti-Tank Guided Missiles (ATGM), Ballistic munitions, Unmanned Aerial System (UAS), and Lasers. ITDS will provide missile threat handoff to the appropriate countermeasure system (Common Infrared Countermeasure (CIRCM) and/or expendable countermeasure). ITDS will explore opportunities to improve the expendable countermeasure system. ITDS will use an incremental approach to align with PM ASE's System of Systems approach, align both agnostic detect and defeat capabilities, implement a modular open system architecture, integrate to the FLRAA digital backbone, improve full coverage against evolving threats in hostile environments, support counter UAS, and incorporate multi-function sensor suite to support other aircraft enabling technologies. Additional key attributes include: Geo-location of threats, Support Degraded Visual Environment and Navigation, Multiple Threat Detection, Declaration for Simultaneous Warning. Justification: No FY 2026 funding request.

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.
