Budget Trajectory

The program's 3 summary figures for FY24 to FY26, plotted in fiscal-year order so the direction of travel is readable at a glance: this line ends higher than it starts. The points are the summary cards above, not a separate derivation; the table beside the chart carries each figure with its own citation.

Budget trajectory: one row per fiscal year, carrying the summary figure the sparkline plots. Every figure opens its own citation.
Fiscal year	Amount
FY24	$440.8M
FY25	$406.4M
FY26	$444.8M

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 falls 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.
Series	FY22	FY23	FY24	FY25	FY26
Actuals	$488.0M	$670.0M	$440.8M
Enacted	–	$670.0M	$432.8M	$406.4M
Request	–	–	$432.8M	$406.4M	$444.8M

blank = series not published for this year; – = absent from that edition.

Asked vs spent: the PB2024 book requested $432.8M for FY2024; the PB2026 book reported $440.8M as actual total obligation authority — $8.00M above the request. 440.8 − 432.8 = 8.0 USD millions — the compact figures above are rounded for reading.

Description

Description — SM-3 Block IIA

In accordance with the Consolidated Appropriations Act 2020, Standard Missile (SM-3) Block IIA was transferred to MD14 from MD09 in Fiscal Year (FY) 2020 and beyond. FY 2018 and FY 2019 SM-3 Block IIA funding is included in MD09. Procurement Quantity" and "Flyaway Unit Cost" above represent SM-3 Block IIA missiles only, but the Net Procurement and Gross Weapon System costs includes all hardware and support costs including canisters, production engineering, obsolescence and system engineering, which are detailed in separate P-5s. Net Procurement and Gross Weapon System costs includes all hardware and support costs including canisters, production engineering, obsolescence and system engineering, which are detailed in separate P-5s. The Sea-Based Weapon Systems mission is to deliver an operationally effective and supportable Ballistic Missile Defense capability to defend the nation, deployed forces, and allies. Sea-Based Weapon Systems mission aims to increase this capability by delivering evolutionary improvements as part of Missile Defense System upgrades. Sea-Based Weapon Systems mission provides a forward-deployable, mobile capability to detect and track ballistic missiles of all ranges, and the ability to destroy Short-Range Ballistic Missiles, Medium-Range Ballistic Missiles, and Intermediate-Range Ballistic Missiles (IRBM) in the midcourse phase of flight. Upgrades to both the Aegis Weapon System and the SM-3 configuration provides effective and supportable defensive capability against longer range and more sophisticated threats and an enduring Aegis Ashore defensive capability. The SM-3 Block IIA provides greater capability over SM-3 Block IB, including increased velocity and range provided by a 21-inch diameter rocket motor propulsion stack, more than doubled seeker sensitivity, and more than tripled divert capability incorporated in an advanced Kinetic Warhead (KW). New component technologies include, but are not limited to: lightweight nosecone, advanced KW, 21-inch second stage rocket motor, and 21-inch third stage rocket motor. Working in concert with the SM-3 Block IB, the SM-3 Block IIA, will increase the Ballistic Missile Defense System defended area and increase the probability of kill against a larger threat set. The SM-3 Block IIA is also a critical part of the Aegis Ashore Missile Defense System Complex - Romania and Poland and is also vital to defense efforts for Aegis afloat in the European and Indo-Pacific Commands. This will provide a more robust protection of Europe and the Indo-Pacific. The SM-3 Block IIA also provides defense against IRBMs and other threats.

Justification

Justification — SM-3 Block IIA

The increase in Gross Weapon System Unit Cost from FY 2025 to FY 2026 provides Investment Spares, Pressure Vessel Rotatable Pool, production improvements and production line improvement to increase SM-3 Block IIA capacity from 2 All-Up Rounds (AURs) per month to 3 AURs per month in support of Golden Dome for America. The FY 2026 budget request includes 12 All-Up-Round (AURs), hardware, and support costs including canisters, production engineering, obsolescence, system engineering, production improvements, pressure vessel rotatable pool and production line improvement to increase SM-3 Block IIA capacity from 2 All-Up Rounds (AURs) per month to 3 AURs per month in support of Golden Dome for America. The FY 2025 budget request includes 12 AURs, hardware, and support costs including canisters, production engineering, obsolescence, and system engineering.

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 SM-3 IIAs — no program-specific GAO finding for this line is in the ingested data. See the DOD oversight record.
