Justification
Justification — Weapons Range Support Equipment
The FY 2026 request was reduced by $2.434 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." The FY 2026 request was reduced by $1.669 million for civilian personnel to optimize the workforce in compliance with Executive Order 14210, "Implementing the President's Department of Government Efficiency Workforce Optimization Initiative." The Systems Replacement and Modernization (SRAM) funds fleet priorities for modernization efforts at Naval training ranges in support of fleet training wholeness (FTW). Projects are non-recurring efforts that vary from year to year and are prioritized on an annual basis to meet fleet training readiness requirements. The ACAT IV Undersea Warfare Training Ranges (USWTR) Program of Record (PoR) contract was awarded 8 July 21 for $410M and continues the effort to modernize and deliver six (6) Training Ranges. The in-water sensor system and shore electronics for Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) training ranges at Pacific Missile Range Facility (PMRF), Barking Sands, HI, (e.g. Barking Sands Tactical Underwater Range (BARSTUR)/Barking Sands Underwater Range Expansion (BSURE) and Southern California ASW Range (SOAR), CA). The effort will be a time-phased procurement exception to the full funding policy. Hardware buys will vary in cost from year to year to meet the Fleet's required date for Initial Operational Capability (IOC) which is slated for BARSTUR/BSURE (3QFY2027) and TB (4QFY2030). Full Operational Capability (FOC) is slated for SCI (4QFY2031) and SOAR (4QFY2032). FY2026 procurements include funds for In-Water System (IWS) and Display, Processing and Control System (DPCS) Test, Range Installation, and the Post Installation Survey. Additionally, this effort funds various Systems Engineering Technical Reviews required to execute the Undersea Warfare Training Range Increment II and III programs. Funds in FY2026 will continue Full-Rate Production of Tactical Combat Training System Increment II (TCTS II) and continues efforts to field additional participant systems, ground subsystems and remote range units to upgrade Southwest Tactical Training Ranges at MCAS Yuma and the Southern California Offshore Range (SCORE). The significant budget decrease for TCTS II starting in FY2026 is eliminating funding associated with the deleted requirement for procuring ship-based Internal Mount (IM) participant subsystems. This change was approved via Fleet Instrumentation Plan V14. FY2026 funds the procurement of two (2) Common Ground Subsystems (CGS), twelve (12) Remote Range Units (RRU), and one (1) Strike Group Maritime Open Ocean Range (SGMOOVR) SGS to provide encryption capability for Fleet training exercises. SC105 EW Electronic Warfare (EW) Threat Presentation funding fluctuates from year to year reflecting Navy prioritization of various EW Threat Presentation devices for use at multiple Tactical Training Range (TTR) sites, including Fallon, NV; Yuma, AZ; Southern California Tactical Training Range (SCTTR), CA; Townsend, SC; Mid-Atlantic Electronic Warfare Range (MAEWR), NC. FY2026 Fleet Training Wholeness Initiative procures additional Electronic Attack pods, EW 5th GEN Modular Remote Threat Emitter Systems, and completes specific number of electronic warfare system technology refreshes based on available budget to sustain and improve availability and maintainability of secure authority to operate (ATO) cyber certifications for initial ATO's at Fleet range sites that include EW Opposition Force (OPFOR) training capabilities and connect those systems to the Navy Enterprise Tactical Training Network (NETTN). Funds in FY2026 for Live-Virtual-Constructive (LVC) will provide equipment for additional distributed mission training capability to East Coast and West Coast Tactical Training Ranges (TTR), with voice communication and datalink equipment in support of Live Virtual Constructive (LVC) capabilities. Install distributed network capabilities at various West Coast TTR's, according to Fleet priorities, in support of LVC capabilities.
