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.

Asked vs spent: the PB2024 book requested $195.7M for FY2024; the PB2026 book reported $200.7M as actual total obligation authority — $5.00M above the request. 200.7 − 195.7 = 5.0 USD millions — the compact figures above are rounded for reading.

Description
Description — AARGM-ER
AGM-88G Advanced Anti-Radiation Guided Missile Extended Range (AARGM-ER) is an ACAT-1B program. The AARGM-ER program will integrate hardware and software upgrades to the AARGM missile guidance and control sections, a new rocket motor, and a Control Actuation System (CAS) into a new outer mold line able to be launched from FA-18 E/F, EA-18G and is compatible with F-35 internal bay platforms. AARGM-ER's capabilities will provide improved AARGM operational capabilities adding extended range, increased survivability and effectiveness against complex, new, and emerging threats. AGM-88G AARGM-ER production units will prosecute Integrated Air Defense Systems (IADS) supporting Suppression of Enemy Air Defensed (SEAD) missions. AARGM-ER is a cooperative program between the Department of Defense of the United States of America and the Ministry of Defense of the Republic of Italy. AGM-88E Advanced Anti-Radiation Guided Missile (AARGM) is an ACAT-1C acquisition program to upgrade the Legacy AGM-88 High Speed Anti-Radiation Missile (HARM) with multi-mode guidance and enhanced targeting capability. The AARGM program integrates multi-mode guidance (passive Anti-Radiation Homing (ARH)/active Millimeter Wave (MMW) Radar/Global Positioning system (GPS)/Inertial Navigation System) on the HARM AGM-88 missile. The AARGM weapon system capabilities include: active MMW terminal guidance, counter shutdown, expanded threat coverage, enhanced ARH receiver, Weapon Impact Assessment (WIA) transmission prior to detonation, GPS point-to-point weapon navigation, and weapon employment with impact avoidance zone/missile impact zones. AGM-88E AARGM production units possess the capability to engage targets in the Destruction of Enemy Air Defenses (DEAD) mission area. AARGM is a cooperative program between the Department of Defense of the United States of America and the Ministry of Defense of the Republic of Italy.
Justification
Justification — AARGM-ER
The FY 2026 request was reduced by $0.100 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." FY 2026 AGM-88G AARGM-ER funding supports the procurement of All-Up Rounds (AURs), Captive Air Training Missiles (CATMs), containers, Telemetry/Flight Termination System (TM/FTS), support equipment, engineering and logistics support, Engineering Change Orders, Special Tooling/Special Test Equipment (ST/STE), and Diminishing Manufacturing Sources and Material Shortages (DMSMS). FY 2024 includes $108 million that was a source for ATR PA25-04. Total quantity being procured with FY 2024 is 2 associated with the congressional add funding. Quantities and unit costs will be updated in future budget submissions. FY 2024 Advanced Procurement funding totaling $33.273 million will be utilized on the FY 2026 AARGM-ER production contact due to completed FY 2024. AGM-88G AARGM-ER AUR funding and quantities in FY 2026 are to support Full Operational Capability inventory objective and to stabilize the industrial base. AGM-88G AARGM-ER CATM funding and quantities in FY 2026 support fleet training. AGM-88G AARGM-ER Container funding and quantities in FY 2026 align with AURs and CATMs to support the Full Operational Capability inventory objective and to stabilize the industrial base. TM/FTS funding and quantities in FY 2026 support the buildup of assets necessary to support NCEA allocations for training and testing. Telemetry Sections provide the data required to assess flight testing and provide the flight termination capability required for range safety during live firings. FY 2026 Support equipment funding includes AARGM-ER peculiar support equipment, to include protection covers, interface cables, and handling adapters. The requirement for FY 2026 Engineering Change Order funding supports Cost Improvement Initiatives (CII), safety, and engineering changes (ECPs) to reduce missile cost and improve producibility. FY 2026 Production Engineering Support funding requirement supports program full rate production support requirements. FY 2026 Integrated Logistics Support (ILS) is inclusive of maintenance, supply support, support equipment management, computer resources support, training and training support, ILS program management, and Packaging, Handling, Storage and Transportation (PHS&T). FY 2026 Special Tooling/Special Test Equipment (ST/STE) funding required to support AARGM-ER missile components and the fully assembled missile. ST/STE cost supports planning, building, installing, and upgrading the ST/STE production equipment for the common and new component hardware as the program upgrades and improving production throughput. FY 2026 DMSMS funding required to support life-of-type buys due to part and component obsolescence issues. FY 2023 through FY 2026 unit cost assumes USAF concurrent procurement of AGM-88G AARGM-ER AURs, which is reflected in USAF PE 0207328F. AUR quantity objective remains 2080 for the program of record.

Related awards
Award linkage is shown for 32 of 200 profiled companies — high- and medium-confidence USAspending matches, each row labeled; medium is the weaker evidence. why partial award coverage? →
Rows marked medium rest on evidence weaker than a program-level match, and of more than one kind. An account-based row, where the award drew from the same appropriation account as this program, is an association, not evidence that this program paid for the contract. Where the evidence is instead an FPDS acquisition-program tag or a subaward description, the program is established but which of its budget lines paid is not. An announcement link a recorded review did not leave standing is medium too. Only high rows rest on the contract naming this program with a recorded review upholding it and no recorded rejection or refutation applying.

Contractor concentration
No concentration index is published for this line. This line's high-confidence links do not clear the floor for a published concentration index — at least 3 awards across 2 contractor families holding positive obligations, with positive net linked dollars. An index below that floor is a fact about the sample, not about the market. Whatever further links this line carries are medium-confidence, and what each medium evidence path does and does not establish is set out in the methodology. Both bases are in the downloadable warehouse.
Lobbying mentions
