All series figures: P-1 TOA · 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

5 fiscal years of this program as published (FY2022–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.

● 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.

Description

Description — Naval Strike Missile (NSM)

The Naval Strike Missile (NSM) provides the Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) and Frigate, Guided Missile (FFG) ships with long range offensive strike capability against surface combatants. The OTH Weapon Systems (WS) consists of a Missile Launch System (MLS) and a complement of missiles. Missile Launch System components include: a Launch Mechanism, Operator Interface, and Fire Control System which are procured with Other Procurement, Navy (OPN) Funds. Missile components include a missile encased in a firing canister (encanistered missile). An encanistered missile consists of a flight vehicle that is mechanically and electrically connected within a weapon canister. The flight vehicle's major components are operationally joined, consisting of a warhead (explosive), propulsion system, guidance system, initiation system, and other components. The weapon canister is a mechanical structure with electrical interconnections that is used to support and restrain the flight vehicle during loading and unloading operations. The weapon canister allows the flight vehicle to mechanically and electrically connect to the Missile Launch System without being exposed to the environment. The funding profile reflects a five-year Multiyear Procurement that begins in FY 2024 and completes in FY 2028. Advance Procurement information for this program is provided in the P-10 exhibit.

Description — Naval Strike Missile (NSM)

The Naval Strike Missile (NSM) provides the Marine Corps' Navy/Marine Corps Expeditionary Ship Interdiction System (NMESIS) with a ground-based, anti-ship capability. The Marine Corps will procure the same NSM configuration as the Navy. NMESIS will be employed by Medium Range Missile (MMSL) batteries. MMSL batteries will be the predominant ground fires units in the fully implemented Marine Corps artillery modernization plan. MMSL batteries will be assigned to each Marine Littoral Regiment (MLR) and will deploy with Marine Expeditionary Units. Missile components include a missile encased in a firing canister (encanistered missile). An encanistered missile consists of a flight vehicle that is mechanically and electrically connected within a weapon canister. The flight vehicle's major components are operationally joined, consisting of a warhead (explosive), propulsion system, guidance system, initiation system, and other components.

Justification

Justification — Naval Strike Missile (NSM)

Naval Strike Missile (NSM) funding is required to support Over The Horizon Weapon System program for Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) and Frigate, Guided Missile (FFG) Ships. The program provides a long-range anti-surface offensive capability to improve the ship's ability to defend against enemy surface ships. Production Engineering Support - Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) funding supports: development of processes to ensure equipment quality and procedures to effectively operate and maintain its reliability; acquisition and cataloging of spare parts to maintain required system availability; managing the configuration baseline (hardware and software) and addressing parts obsolesce issues; acquisition and maintenance of production test equipment; participation in Configuration Control Boards (CCB); implementation of Engineering Change Proposals (ECPs) as needed; collection and analysis of production test metrics; implementation of a Quality Program Plan (QPP); maintenance of a Failure Analysis and Corrective Action Report Database (FRACAS). This is a time-based support element that represents production engineering support over the procurement buy and not tied to quantity. Engineering Support Government and Contractor funding supports: Computer Resources used to identify, plan, resource, and acquire facilities, hardware, software, documentation, manpower and personnel necessary for planning and management of mission critical systems. Government Product Support Management in compliance with the critical acquisition of Product Support Manager (PSM) in accordance with Section 805 of Public Law 111-84. Assist with Demilitarization (DEMIL)/disposal plans, Command Pass Coordinator (CPC), review of ECPs, Milestone Decision Authority (MDA) requirements, risk assessment, Curriculum Design, performance improvement, cost, manage Material Potentially Presenting an Explosive Hazards (MPPEH). Contract Program Management Office (PMO) Subject Management Experts(s) (SME(s)) provide direct support to the PMO by assisting the program manager with day-to-day acquisition and technical requirements. Develop Technical Manuals (revision of contractor provided manuals) and alignment with USN standards. Support OTH WS Integrated Product Teams, Program Management Reviews and Critical Reviews. System Engineering & Safety Block 1A review and approval. Participate in Production Readiness Reviews. Conduct assessment of production test data. Major adjustments: FY 2025 to FY 2026 increase of $7.356 million due to the procurement of four additional missiles. FY 2025 to FY 2026 AP/EOQ funding decrease from $4.412M to $3.059 million due to MYP AP/EOQ phasing. FY 2024 and FY 2025 quantities of 9 and 10, respectively, are properly displayed on the P-5. FY 2026 figures for P-40 and P-5 quantities and unit costs are incorrect. Based on current multi-year procurement (MYP) negotiated pricing, the program anticipates procuring 11 missiles at a unit cost of $2,204K to support Navy Fleet deployments. The Navy and Marine Corps collaborate on NSM procurements to optimize cost savings. Prior years (FY2024-FY2025) data for both P-40 and P-5 is undergoing reconciliation and the P-40 quantities and unit costs need to be updated in subsequent budget submissions to match P-5 actuals. 1.1.1) The funding profile reflects a five-year Multiyear Procurement that begins in FY 2024 and completes in FY 2028. Advance Procurement information for this program is provided in the P-10 exhibit. FY 2026 is the third year of a five-year Multi-Year Procurement (MYP) contract. NSM Minimum Sustaining Rate (MSR) is 32 based on the minimum lot size for the Booster. 2.1) Production Engineering Support provides for both DON and USMC. 2.2) Engineering Support Government and Contractor provides for both the DON and USMC.

Justification — Naval Strike Missile (NSM)

The FY 2026 price per missile reflects the current Navy MYP cost model in anticipation of a follow-on contract. Unit cost and quantity may fluctuate during the year of execution. NSM Minimum Sustaining Rate (MSR) is 32 based on the minimum lot size for the Booster. FY 2024 and FY 2025 quantities of 76 and 77, respectively, are properly displayed on the P-5. FY 2026 figures for P-40 and P-5 quantities and unit costs are incorrect. Based on current multi-year procurement (MYP) negotiated pricing, the program anticipates procuring 76 missiles at a unit cost of $2,204K, building capacity towards the 774 Total Munitions Requirement (TMR) in accordance with the artillery modernization plan. The Navy and Marine Corps collaborate on NSM procurements to optimize cost savings. Prior years (FY 2024-FY 2025) data for both P-40 and P-5 is undergoing reconciliation and the P-40 quantities and unit costs need to be updated in subsequent budget submissions to match P-5 actuals. FY 2026 P-40 quantities will be updated in subsequent budget exhibits after finalization of contract award. FY 2026 will procure 76 NSM for load and re-load requirements to continue building capacity for additional MMSL batteries activating in accordance with the artillery modernization plan. The 24-month lead time necessitates procurement in FY 2026 and is critical to delivering a minimal viable capability. FY 2026 is the third year of a five-year Multi-Year Procurement (MYP) contract.
