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.

Asked vs spent: the PB2024 book requested $114.9M for FY2024; the PB2026 book reported $165.2M as actual total obligation authority — $50.3M above the request. 165.2 − 114.9 = 50.3 USD millions — the compact figures above are rounded for reading.

Description
Description — Rolling Airframe Missile (RAM)
Rolling Airframe Missile (RAM) is a high firepower missile system used to defeat Anti-Ship Cruise Missiles (ASCMs), as well as other airborne threats. RAM is a surface-to-air missile with passive dual-mode radio frequency/infrared (RF/IR) guidance and an active-optical proximity and contact fuse. RAM has minimal shipboard control systems and is autonomous after launch. The RAM Block 1 incorporated "all-the-way-homing" to improve performance against evolving passive and active ASCMs. The RAM Block 2 provides increased kinematic capability against highly maneuvering threats and improved RF detection against low probability of intercept threats. The RAM missile is fired from a RAM Guided Missile Launching System (GMLS) (MK-49), which holds 21 RAM rounds. RAM is also fired from the Close-In Weapon System (CIWS) SeaRAM Anti-Ship Missile Defense System (MK-15 MOD 31-33) which holds 11 rounds. Cooperative Agreement: RAM is a cooperative program with the Federal Republic of Germany. The U.S. and Federal Republic of Germany cooperatively produce Block 2 missiles, launchers, and Ordnance Alterations (ORDALTs). The Block 2 production Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) was signed on 19 March 2013. Amendment 2 to the Block 2 Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) was signed September 2022. FY 2024 includes supplemental funding from Israel Security Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2024 (Division A of Public Law 118-50). DON has received $50.235 million for the procurement of 60 RAM missiles for the replacement of Navy stock. This results in an increase FY 2024 quantities from 120 to 180.
Justification
Justification — Rolling Airframe Missile (RAM)
In FY 2026, the program plans to procure 123 RAM missiles, 5 Block 1 to 2B ORDALTs and 70 Block 2 to 2A ORDALTs. The funding decrease from FY 2025 to FY 2026 corresponds to the reduction in missile procurements from 148 to 123.
