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 $72.0M for FY2024; the PB2026 book reported $72.0M as actual total obligation authority — $77.0K below the request. 71.96 − 72.04 = -0.08 USD millions — the compact figures above are rounded for reading.

Description
Description — CMWS
This funding line is a key enabler of the Army Modernization Priorities in support of the Aviation Survivability Equipment (ASE). Missile Warning (MW) Army Procurement Objective (APO) = 1,988 (B-Kits). On April 15, 2022 the AROC approved an APO increase for MW B-Kits from 1351 to 1988. APO will be achieved through a future modernization effort. Common Missile Warning System (CMWS): APO = 1,351 (B-Kits) The CMWS program is a missile warning system that cues both flare and laser-based countermeasures to defeat incoming Infrared (IR)-seeking missiles and will alert aircrews to the presence of certain incoming munitions. The B-Kit consists of the components which perform the missile detection and aircrew notification, munitions detection and aircrew notification, false alarm rejection, and countermeasure employment/cueing functions of the system. The CMWS Electronic Control Unit (ECU) receives ultraviolet (UV) missile detection data from Electro-Optic Missile Sensors (EOMS), which detects UV signals, and sends a missile alert signal to warn aircrews via on-board avionics. Tier 1 threat missiles detected and tracked by the CMWS are subsequently defeated by a combination of missile seeker countermeasures, including decoy flares and IR Laser Jamming (currently Common Infrared Countermeasure (CIRCM). In addition, the CMWS ECU receives munitions detection data from the EOMS which is also passed to the aircrew through aural and visual cues. The aircrew then applies the appropriate Tactics, Techniques and Procedures (TTPs) to break contact or engage the enemy with on-ship ordnance. Due to evolving threats, CMWS will remain in the Army inventory until replaced by a future program. Continuing systems engineering, integration, and testing along with software support will maintain capability to rapidly respond as threats evolve in order to ensure protection against IR-guided missile threats. The CMWS A-Kit includes mounting hardware, wiring harnesses, cables, and other components necessary to install and interface the mission kit on host aircraft. The A-Kit ensures the mission kit is functionally and physically operational with a specific host aircraft type. Joint Urgent Operational Needs Statement (JUONS): The JUONS SO-0010 system has completed its operational mission. Advanced Threat Warner Department of Navy Large Aircraft Infrared Countermeasure (ATW DoN LAIRCM) B-Kits were removed from conventional Army aircraft and transferred to the Technology Applications Program Office (TAPO). A-Kit demodification complete in FY 2025. Limited Interim Missile Warning System (LIMWS) QRC: APO = 399 (B-Kits) LIMWS QRC addresses the HQDA Directed Requirement to provide a greater capability than CMWS, the current Program of Record (POR), to bridge the gap between CMWS and the future threat detection system, the Improved Threat Detection System (ITDS). LIMWS is required to provide increased detection range, improved detection in clutter, more agile algorithms to rapidly respond to emerging threats, and eliminates the need for sensor alignments.

Justification
Justification — CMWS
FY 2026 Base Procurement dollars in the amount of $13.927 million supports Common Missile Warning System (CMWS) software maintenance, system engineering support, system of system analysis, algorithm analysis, system test and evaluation (ST&E), and support analysis to ensure CMWS continues to meet operational requirements. Limited Interim Missile Warning System (LIMWS) QRC: FY 2026 Base Procurement dollars in the amount of $24.492 million supports direct combat support expenses for Operation Inherent Resolve will fund contractor logistics support; training and publications; test and special equipment; continued software maintenance and updates, testing, integration updates on all fielded platforms; and SEPM. Additionally, CMWS/LIMWS supports rotational based capability for Army Aviation. The FY 2026 request was reduced by $0.471 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." In accordance with Section 1815 of the FY 2008 National Defense Authorization Act (P.L. 110-181), this item is necessary for use by the active and reserve components of the Armed Forces for homeland defense missions, domestic emergency responses, and providing military support to civil authorities. All COMPO CMWS is part of the Army Transformation Initiative.

Awards
No awards are linked to this program element at high or medium confidence — the budget→award crosswalk only asserts links it can defend, and this line has none yet.
Lobbying mentions
No Senate LDA lobbying filing in the tracked data mentions this program element by code or alias.
Oversight
Department-level designation (not specific to this program)
GAO lists 5 high-risk areas for DOD as a whole. That designation covers the department, not CMWS. No program-specific GAO finding for this line is in the ingested data. See the DOD oversight record.
Program dossier
No research dossier for this program — dossiers cover 50 of 1,938 programs, the largest fully J-book-detailed lines by FY2026 requested dollars. why no dossier here? →
