7 fiscal years of this program as published (FY2020–FY2026): 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. 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.

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

Asked vs spent: the PB2024 book requested $900.9M for FY2024; the PB2026 book reported $772.2M as actual total obligation authority — $128.7M below the request. 772.2 − 900.9 = -128.7 USD millions — the compact figures above are rounded for reading.

Description

Mission — Hypersonics EMD

This funding supports the fielding of critical enabling technologies and capabilities that address near-term and mid-term threats. It is directly aligned to the Army Long Range Precision Fires modernization priority. This Program Element includes the development and fielding of the LRHW to defeat Anti Access/Area Denial (A2/AD) capabilities, suppress adversary Long Range Fires, and engage other high payoff/time critical targets. The Army is working collaboratively with the Navy in the development of the LRHW and conducting Joint Flight Campaign (JFC) tests to evaluate overall system performance with added focus on missile body and payload performance. The LRHW system consists of the All Up Rounds (AUR) plus Canister (AUR+C) which includes the Common Hypersonic Glide Body (CHGB) with the Navy 34.5 inch booster, the Battery Operations Center (BOC) for command and control (C2), and the Transporter Erector Launcher (TEL). An LRHW Battery contains eight AUR+Cs, one BOC, and four TELs each carrying two AUR+Cs. Additionally, the LRHW will use a modified version of an existing C2 network, the Advanced Field Artillery Tactical Data System (AFATDS). Continued RDT&E investment is required beyond the initial prototype Battery to meet objective requirements and to maintain overmatch against evolving threats. Through implementation of planned Technology Insertions (TIs), the program will increase capability, upgrade the system to address obsolescence, and upgrade platform, launcher, and weapon control systems with mature technologies from Science and Technology (S&T). Qualification testing is also required to validate these developmental changes. Soldier operational testing of new capability is also required. The FY 2026 cost of the Long Range Hypersonic Weapon (LRHW) Ground Support Equipment (GSE) Middle Tier of Acquisition effort is $17.9 million, including RDT&E and procurement of prototype units. The Department will certify FYDP funding in a future budget submission. The FY 2026 request was reduced by $1 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."

The Army is working collaboratively with the Navy in the development of the LRHW and conducting Joint Flight Campaign (JFC) tests to evaluate overall system performance, with added focus on missile body and payload performance as well as incorporate capability improvements. Continued RDT&E investment is required beyond the initial prototype Battery to meet objective requirements and to maintain overmatch against evolving threats. Through implementation of planned Technology Insertions (TIs), the program will increase capability, upgrade the system to address obsolescence, and upgrade platform, launcher, and weapon control systems with mature technologies from Science and Technology (S&T). Qualification testing is required to validate these developmental changes. Soldier operational testing of new capability is also required. The FY 2026 cost of the Long Range Hypersonic Weapon (LRHW) Ground Support Equipment (GSE) Middle Tier of Acquisition effort is $17.9 million, including RDT&E and procurement of prototype units. The Department will certify FYDP funding in a future budget submission. FY 2026 funding provides for incremental funding of AUR+C test assets and AUR+C tactical loads and reloads, developmental engineering for GSE TI integration, funding for test activities and events, and systems engineering and program management.

Follow the dollar

No follow-the-dollar view — this program's awards haven't been crosswalked at high confidence (flows cover 312 of 1,938 programs). why coverage is partial? →

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 Hypersonics EMD. 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? →
