Major Weapon Systems
Overview
The performance of United States (U.S.) weapon systems are unmatched, ensuring that U.S.
military forces have a tactical combat advantage over any adversary in any environmental
situation. The Fiscal Year (FY) 2024 acquisition (Procurement and Research, Development, Test,and Evaluation (RDT&E)) funding requested by the Department of Defense (DoD) totals$315.0 billion, which includes funding totaling $170.0 billion for Procurement and $145.0 billion
for RDT&E. The funding in the budget request represents a balanced portfolio approach to
implement the National Defense Strategy (NDS). To simplify display of the various weapon

Introduction

FY 2024 Program Acquisition Costs by Weapon System

Major Defense Acquisition Programs
The FY 2024 President’s Budget request for modernization in the RDT&E and Procurement titles
is comprised of 3,712 Program, Project, and Activity (PPA) line items. Within these lines, there
are 75 Major Defense Acquisition Programs (MDAPs); 16 with the Army, 36 with the Navy, and21 with the Air Force. The remaining 2 (Missile Defense and Chemical Demilitarization Assembled Chemical Weapons Alternatives (ACWA) programs are under the Office of theSecretary of Defense.
Not all MDAPs (Acquisition Category (ACAT) I) are represented in this book because they fall
below reporting criteria*. Furthermore, while non-MDAP individual programs are smaller in dollar
value when compared to MDAPs, these ACAT II and ACAT III programs account for the majority
of defense weapon expenditures.
* An MDAP is an acquisition program that is designated by the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition andSustainment (USD (A&S); or is estimated to require an eventual total expenditure for Research, Development, Test, andEvaluation (RDT&E), including all planned increments, of more than $480 million in Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 constantdollars or, for Procurement, including all planned increments, of more than $2.79 billion in FY 2014 constant dollars.

Large Lot Procurement (Pilot)
The FY 2024 President’s Budget (PB) includes a new contract and financing strategy called Large
Lot Procurement (LLP). The LLP concept expands on the existing Multiyear Procurement (MYP)
strategy in that savings generated by the use of Economic Order Quantities (EOQ) financing areused to procure additional quantities of munitions in a “Buy-to-Budget” contract strategy. The
FY 2024 LLP encompass four overlapping and concurrent MYP contracts, where production at theOriginal Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) and Tier II/III sub-contractors is structured to createsynergy and production line efficiencies to maximize manufacturing capacity and accelerate delivery
schedules. The LLP/MYP “Pilot” encompasses four key Precision Guided Missile programs: theRIM-174 Standard Missile (SM-6); the AIM-120D Advanced Medium Range Air-to-Air Missile(AMRAAM); the AGM-158C Long Range Anti-Ship Missile (LRASM) and the AGM-158B Joint
Air-to-Surface Standoff Missile - Extended Range (JASSM-ER). The amount budgeted in the
FY 2024 President’s Budget for the LLP throughout the Future Year Defense Program (FYDP) totals
approximately $15.1 billion and represents a commitment by the Department to address munitions
requirements and implement decisive acquisition reforms. In summary, the FY 2024 LLP pilot
concept includes the following elements:- Commits the Department to a multiyear contract plan.
- Provides funding to expand the production capacity.
- Increases annual production quantities to the economic production rate.
- Provides upfront, approximately fifteen percent EOQ in FY 2024 for long-lead item
procurements and to facilitate production line efficiencies.

Aircraft and Related Systems
Aviation forces including fighters, bombers, mobility (cargo/tanker), specialized support aircrafts,
and Unmanned Aerial Vehicles/Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAV/UAS), provide a versatile
strike force capable of rapid deployment worldwide. These forces can quickly gain and sustain air
dominance over regional aggressors, permitting rapid attacks on enemy targets while providing
security to exploit the air for logistics, command and control, intelligence, and other functions.
Fighter/attack aircraft operate from both land bases and aircraft carriers to provide air superiority
to combat enemy fighters and attack ground and ship targets. Bombers provide an intercontinental
capability to rapidly strike surface targets. The specialized aircraft supporting conventional
operations perform functions such as intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance; airborne
warning and control; air battle management; suppression of enemy air defenses; and combat searchand rescue. In addition to these forces, the U.S. military operates a variety of air mobility forces
including cargo, aerial-refueling aircraft, helicopters, and support aircraft.
Continued in the FY 2024 request, is the Department’s Tactical Air (TACAIR) strategy tosupplement 5th generation fighters like the F-22 and F-35 with 4th generation capability, to more

Command, Control, Communications, Computers, and Intelligence(C4I) Systems
The Department is well underway in transforming and developing new concepts for the conductof future joint military operations to achieve full spectrum dominance. This overarching goal todefeat any adversary or control any situation across the full range of military operations is achieved
through a broad array of capabilities enabled by an interconnected network of sensors, shooters,command, control, and intelligence. Net-centricity transformed the way information is managed
to accelerate decision making, improve joint warfighting, and create intelligence advantages. U.S.
forces are heavily-networked and require reliable, secure, and trusted access to information anddepend on network-based interconnectivity for increased operational effectiveness. By enhancing
information sharing, dispersed forces are able to communicate, maneuver, share a common userdefined operating picture, and successfully complete assigned missions more efficiently.
The FY 2024 budget request supports the net-centricity service-based architecture pattern for
information sharing. It is being implemented by the C4I community via building jointarchitectures and roadmaps for integrating joint airborne networking capabilities with the evolving
ground, maritime, and space networks. It encompasses the development of technologies likegateways, waveforms, network management, and information assurance.

Ground-based Midcourse Defense
The Ground-based Midcourse Defense (GMD) element is a Missile Defense
Agency program and a key component of the Missile Defense System,
providing Combatant Commanders with the capability to engage missiles in
the midcourse phase of flight. This phase, compared to boost or terminal,
allows significant time for sensor viewing from multiple platforms andprovides multiple engagement opportunities for hit-to-kill interceptors. The
Ground Based Interceptor (GBI) is made up of a three-stage, solid fuelbooster, and an exoatmospheric kill vehicle. When launched, the multistage, solid fuel booster missile carries the kill vehicle toward the target’s
predicted location in space. Once released from the booster, the kill vehicle
uses data received in-flight from ground-based radars and its own on-board
sensors to defeat the incoming missile by ramming the warhead with aclosing speed of approximately 15,000 miles per hour. Interceptors are
currently emplaced at Fort Greely, Alaska and Vandenberg Air Force Base,
California. The GMD fire control centers are established in Colorado andAlaska. Next Generation Interceptor (NGI) acquisition covers thedevelopment, integration and testing of an All Up Round boost vehicle/ killvehicle system capable of surviving both the natural and hostileenvironments while countering the evolving threats to the Homeland.

PAC-3/Missile Segment Enhancement
The Missile Segment Enhancement (MSE) is a
performance improvement to the existing Phased
Array Tracking Radar to Intercept of Target(PATRIOT) Advanced Capability-3 (PAC-3)
missile. The MSE’s improved capability is achieved
through a higher performance solid rocket motor,
modified lethality enhancer, more responsive control
surfaces, upgraded guidance software, andinsensitive munitions improvements.
The PAC-3 MSE employs kinetic energy to destroy
targets through a hit-to-kill capability and provides
the range, accuracy, and lethality to effectively
intercept and destroy tactical ballistic missiles, airbreathing threats, cruise missiles, and unmanned
aerial systems. This missile engages maneuvering and advanced threats earlier, expanding
operational battlespace performance against complex threats. These improvements result in a moreagile, lethal interceptor missile with enhanced Insensitive Munitions compliance. The PAC-3
MSE is the latest generation interceptor fired from the PATRIOT system.
Mission: Provide the Combatant Commanders with a hit-to-kill, surface-to-air missile that canintercept tactical ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, and air-breathing threats that have chemical,
biological, radiological, nuclear, and conventional high explosive warheads. The MSE extends
the PAC-3 range, filling a critical performance gap, and affords greater protection for deployed

Missiles and Munitions
Munitions is a general term for ammunition and missiles. Ammunition consists of bombs,
grenades, rockets, mines, projectiles, and other similar devices. There are conventional andnuclear missiles used for both tactical and strategic purposes. Many munitions are precisionguided, enhancing the attack of a broader target set, with limited low-collateral damage. Some
programs include non-explosive articles that enhance the performance of other munitions. For
example, the Joint Direct Attack Munitions (JDAM) adds guidance capability when attached to a
gravity bomb, making it a “smart” precision-guided bomb.
In FY 2024, the Department focused on critical high performance, standoff, and precision strikeweapons to deliver munitions with greater penetration power. Improvements to these weapons
increase range and precision effects in contested environments against high-value land attack
targets. This requires munitions with farther standoff, multi-mode seekers, robust guidancesystems, and less time for target selection. The Department has made investments to expand
production capacity, procure munitions at favorable economic rates, and strengthen the industrialbase. Precision guided munitions are manufactured on fully utilized production lines, so pricing
economies are secured at economically feasible rates. The Department is increasing investmentsin the next generation nuclear cruise missile, the Long Range Stand-off weapon as well as theGround Based Strategic Deterrent ballistic missile system.
The munition portfolio includes five new Multiyear Procurement (MYP) programs of which fourare part of the Large Lot Procurement (LLP) pilot MYP strategy, which aims to maximize weapon
production efficiency with a procurement Buy-to-Budget approach.

Space Based and Related Systems
Space assets support deployed U.S. forces by providing communications services, navigation
capabilities, and information collected by remote sensors such as weather satellites and intelligencecollection systems. Space forces contribute to the overall effectiveness of U.S. military forces byacting as a force multiplier that enhances combat power. This investment addresses growing
threats, complicating an adversary’s ability to counter U.S. space superiority, while enhancing the
Department’s ability to identify, characterize, and attribute all threatening actions in space. The
capability to control space contributes to achieving information superiority and battle spacedominance. Procurement of launch vehicles and launch services are typically funded 2 years prior
to launch. Under existing budget policy, the first two satellites of a new system are financed with
Research, Development, Test and Evaluation (RDT&E) funding and the remainder of follow-on
satellites are fully funded with Procurement funding.
The FY 2024 budget highlights include funding for development of new Resilient Missile
Warning/Missile Tracking architectures, along with Next Generation Overhead Persistent Infrared(NG OPIR) space and associated ground architectures; continues funding for the Evolved Strategic
SATCOM (ESS) and Protected Tactical, Wideband, and Narrowband secure/survivable/jamresistant capabilities. The budget also funds the procurement of National Security Space Launch(NSSL) launch services for medium and heavy lift class satellites; specifically, the NSSL program
funds launch services for ten Space Force launches under the Phase 2 contract and five launches
for Space Development Agency proliferated Low Earth Orbit Transport Layer development.
