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.

Justification
Justification — Mortars
These items are managed by the Army as the Single Manager for Conventional Ammunition (SMCA) and the unit costs are pre-negotiated in the contract established by the SMCA. These munitions have a procurement lead time of 24-44 months. FY 2026 Baseline Appropriation Request: $141.135M Baseline funding will support the procurement of mortars to include: DODIC B647 60mm M721 Illum Cartridge: The FY 2026 request is $1.906M. The increase from FY25 to FY26 is due to service life limitations in the inventory beginning in FY 2026 that support the fulfillment of the Total Munitions Requirement (TMR) and are required to replenish munitions expended through the year in support of training, deployment preparation and readiness, service life and other testing requirements, and operational requirements. DODIC BA15 60MM M769 Full Range Practice Cartridge (FRPC): The FY 2026 request is $14.904M. The decrease from FY25 to FY26 is due to the requirement adjustments due to Marine Corps Force Design and is the cumulative result of multiple Total Munition Requirement (TMR) changes and reflects current inventory levels. From FY 2025 to FY2026 the cost elements are consolidated to complete round/total hardware and production support costs to be in line with other budget line items. DODIC BA44 60MM M720A2 High Explosive (HE) Cartridge: The FY 2026 request is $63.435M. The increase from FY25 to FY26 is due to shortfalls in the inventory beginning in FY 2026 that support the fulfillment of the Total Munitions Requirement (TMR) and are required to replenish munitions expended through the year in support of training, deployment preparation and readiness, service life and other testing requirements, and operational requirements. FY 2026 BA44 procurements with the current production lead time will be delivered in the middle of FY 2028. From FY 2025 to FY2026 the cost elements are consolidated to complete round/total hardware and production support costs to be in line with other budget line items. DODIC C870 81MM M819 Smoke Red Phosphorous Cartridge: The FY 2026 request is $8.648M. The increase from FY25 to FY26 is due to shortfalls in the inventory beginning in FY 2026 that support the fulfillment of the Total Munitions Requirement (TMR) and are required to replenish munitions expended through the year in support of training, deployment preparation and readiness, service life and other testing requirements, and operational requirements. FY 2026 C870 procurements with the current production lead time will be delivered in the beginning of FY 2028. DODIC C875 81MM M879 Full Range Practice Cartridge (FRPC): The FY 2026 request is $11.635M. The decrease from FY25 to FY26 is due to the requirement adjustments due to Marine Corps Force Design and is the cumulative result of multiple Total Munition Requirement (TMR) changes and reflects current inventory levels. From FY 2025 to FY2026 the cost elements are consolidated to complete round/total hardware and production support costs to be in line with other budget line items. DODIC CA63 81MM M889A4 High Explosive (HE) Cartridge: The FY 2026 request is $26.020M. The decrease from FY25 to FY26 is due to the requirement adjustments due to Marine Corps Force Design and is the cumulative result of multiple Total Munition Requirement (TMR) changes and reflects current inventory levels. From FY 2025 to FY2026 the cost elements are consolidated to complete round/total hardware and production support costs to be in line with other budget line items. DODIC CA66 81MM M821A4 High Explosive (HE) FRAG Cartridge: The FY 2026 request is $3.694M. The increase is from FY25 to FY26 is due to shortfalls currently within the inventory that support the fulfillment of the Total Munitions Requirement (TMR) and are required to replenish munitions expended through the year in support of training, deployment preparation and readiness, service life and other testing requirements, and operational requirements. FY 2026 CA66 procurements with the current production lead time will be delivered in the beginning of FY 2031. The budget increase of $17.661M from FY 2025 to FY 2026 reflects the mortars requirement adjustments due to Marine Corps Force Design and is the cumulative result of multiple Total Munition Requirement (TMR) changes, while providing for warfighter training needs of DODIC BA15 60MM M769 Full Range Practice Cartridge, and DODIC C875 81MM Full Range Training Practice Cartridge, addresses inventory shortfalls of DODIC BA44 60MM M720A2 HE Cartridge, DODIC CA63 81MM M889A4 HE Cartridge and addresses service life limitations of DODIC B647 60mm M721 Illum Cartridge. Both BA44 and CA63 utilize IMX-104 explosive which improves the overall safety of the rounds at an increased cost compared to the legacy rounds. CA72 - 81MM FLASH BANG MUNITION NON-LETHAL has been moved into BLI 1085 from BLI 1550. All cost elements are consolidated to complete round/total hardware and production support costs to align with similar budget line items providing clear visibility of the final deliverable quantities and total unit costs.
