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 $14.8M for FY2024; the PB2026 book reported $24.8M as actual total obligation authority — $10.0M above the request. 24.8 − 14.8 = 10.0 USD millions — the compact figures above are rounded for reading.

Description
Description — ASW Targets
The MK-39 MOD 3 Expendable Mobile ASW Training Target (EMATT) is a small self-propelled underwater vehicle launched from fixed wing and rotary wing Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) aircraft and ASW surface ships for the purpose of providing basic open ocean sonar training and torpedo placement exercises. Its operation consists of a dynamic run trajectory that is actively controlled in depth and course with pre-programmable run maneuvers emulating threat submarines and is detectable by all current U.S. ASW Platforms. The MK-30 is an ASW training target for Navy surface ships, submarines, and aircraft that are capable of simulating submarine threats anticipated in the twenty-first century littoral warfare environment. The MK-30 Service Life Extension Program (SLEP) extends the useful service life of MK-30 ASW Targets to meet annual fleet training requirements. The MK66 Heavyweight USW Training Target (HUTT) (MK-30 Replacement) is a Heavyweight USW Training Target to replace the MK-30 ASW Training Target for Navy surface ships, submarines, and aircrafts that are capable of simulating submarine threats anticipated in the twenty-first century undersea warfare environment. [P5 / TG002 - MK39 MOD 3 EMATT]: Funding under this cost code provides for the procurement of MK-39 MOD 3 EMATT vehicles and Non-Recurring Engineering (NRE). NRE funds the cost of Pre-Proof of Manufacturing (POM) units and POM units, first article testing, tooling and test equipment, procurement of technical data package updates, start-up costs, and other one-time costs for production contractors. New Sprint speed capabilities which were developed in FY20 and will be incorporated into all production MK39 Mod 3 EMATT baseline vehicles starting in FY2026, with a maximum total production capacity of 2,000 MK39 EMATTs per year. Sprint Speed upgrade allows the MK39 MOD 3 EMATT to more closely represent submarine tactics for evasion with up to 12 knot sprints. [P5 / TG003 - MK39 EMATT Upgrades]: Provides for the procurement of production MK 39 EMATT Variants to support the family of expendables needed to meet all USN ASW training requirements. Modular kits will provide additional capability to baseline units for specific training events. Low Frequency Active Expansion upgrade allows the MK39 EMATT to be compatible with future ASW sensors such as the FFG Constellation CAPTAS-4 and P-8A launched SSQ-125 Sonobuoys. The Long Endurance Variant upgrade is being developed under Phase I and II SBIRs [Alternative Power ASW Targets] which are planned to be completed late FY2024. The transition to procurement of this EMATT Upgrade is planned in FY2025 and will support training operations up to 24 hours. This extended endurance allows for submarine and Maritime Patrol and Reconnaissance Aircraft (MPRA) to conduct representative missions where the prosecuting platform can tradeoff the target to fresh crews or aircraft. Very Low Frequency Projector attached to an EMATT body will allow for low frequency tonal emulations consistent with current threats for ASW training missions. The MK39 EMATT upgrade address Fleet requirements for a target to support Undersea Warfare training events by emulating real world threats. Production Support provides funding for government production and systems engineering support to support the MK39 EMATT Upgrades. [P5 / TG007 - MK30 SLEP]: MK 30 MOD 1 Service Life Extension Program (SLEP) extends the MK 30 MOD 1 ASW Target Service Life to continue the use of MK 30 ASW Target until FY 2027. The SLEP efforts required include the replacement of critical navigation subsystems, power distribution subsystems, mechanical parts including replacement hull sections, and test equipment that are no longer procurable and/or can no longer be maintained or that needs updates for cyber vulnerabilities. In FY 2026, MK 30 SLEP Funding is reduced to $0 to partially offset funding of the new MK 30 Replacement Target under Cost Code TG009 and start the sundowning of the MK30 SLEP. Increase in MK 30 SLEP funding in FY 2027 and beyond will support demilitarization of legacy MK30 Targets as they are removed from service and replaced with the MK66 Heavyweight USW Training Target (HUTT). [P5 / TG009 - MK66 Heavyweight USW Training Target (HUTT)]: Provides for the procurement of new Heavyweight USW MK-30 Replacement Target vehicles now referred to as MK66 HUTT, first article testing, tooling and test equipment, procurement of technical data package updates, start-up costs, and other one-time costs for production contractors. Funding also provides for contractor engineering services and government support by NUWC NPT for production engineering support, quality assurance efforts, and production acceptance of contractor hardware for the MK30 Replacement Target Vehicles. [P5 / TG832 - MK39 MOD 2/3 EMATT PROD ENG (IN-HOUSE)]: Funding under this cost code provides for production engineering tasks performed by NUWC NPT and KPT including EMATT program management support, systems engineering, and production engineering. [P5 / TG842 - MK39 MOD 2/3 EMATT QUALITY ASSURANCE]: Funding under this cost code provides for quality assurance efforts in support of the EMATT program. [P5 / TG862 - MK39MOD 2/3 EMATT ACCEPTANCE T&E]: Funding under this cost code provides for production acceptance of contractor hardware for the EMATT program. [P5 / TG900 - MK39 MOD 2/3 EMATT CONSULTING SERVICES]: Funding under this cost code provides for contractor support services at the program office.
Justification
Justification — ASW Targets
The FY 2026 request was reduced by $1.082 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 Program Changes: Cost Element 1.1.1 MK39 Mod 3 EMATTs - increase in procurement quantity from 662 in FY 2025 to 892 in FY 2026. Starting in FY 2026 Increase in unit price is due to adding Sprint Speed Capability Upgrade into MK39 Mod 3 Baseline EMATTs. Cost Element 2.1.1 Low Frequency Active Upgrade - increase in procurement quantity from 0 in FY 2025 to 100 in FY 2026 for first year of procurements. Cost Element 2.1.2 Long Endurance Upgrade - Increase in funding is due to increase in procurement quantity from 0 in FY 2025 to 87 in FY 2026. Cost Element 2.1.3 Extremely Low Frequency Expansion Upgrade - Increase in funding is due to increase in procurement quantity from 0 in FY 2025 to 25 in FY 2026. Cost Element 2.1.4 Production Engineering Support - increase funding from $0 in FY25 to $0.376M in FY26 for production of Long Endurance and Low Frequency production upgrades. Cost Elements 5.1.1 MK66 Heavyweight USW Training Target (HUTT) - increase in procurement quantity from 3 MK66 HUTT Targets in FY 2025 to 4 in FY 2026.
