Missiles and Munitions

Munitions is a general term for ammunition and missiles. Ammunition consists of bombs, grenades, rockets, mines, projectiles, and other devices. Conventional and nuclear missiles are used for both tactical and strategic purposes. Many munitions are precision-guided, enhancing the attack of a broader target set, with limited low-collateral damage. Some programs include nonexplosive articles that improve 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.

FY26 Munitions Pie

FY26 Munitions Budget Trends

In FY 2026, the Department focused on critical high-performance, stand-off, and precision strike weapons 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 stand-off, multi-mode seekers, robust guidance systems, and less time for target selection. The Department has invested in expanding production capacity, procuring munitions at favorable economic rates, and strengthening the industrial base. Precision-guided munitions are manufactured on fully utilized production lines, so pricing economies are secured at economically feasible rates. The Department is increasing investments in the next generation nuclear cruise missile, the Long-Range Stand-off (LRSO) weapon, TridentII missile modification program, and the Sentinel program.

The Department of Defense (DoD) prioritizes advanced munitions capabilities, encompassing both conventional and nuclear missiles and a range of ammunition, including bombs, grenades, rockets, and mines. A key focus is high-performance, stand-off, and precision-guided munitions (PGMs) designed to engage high-value targets in contested environments with minimal collateral damage. These advanced capabilities necessitate enhanced penetration power, extended range, multi-mode seekers, robust guidance systems, and reduced target selection timelines. Exemplifying this approach, programs like the Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM) transform conventional gravity bombs into precision-guided weapons.

To support the INDSG, the Department continues focusing on innovation and modernization. To address the persistent threats worldwide, the Department is focused on addressing emerging threats and ensuring readiness for future conflicts. This strategy shift focuses on enhancing lethality and integrating advanced technologies. Major initiatives are underway to deliver munitions with greater penetration power. In addition, the Department is rapidly advancing a range of munitions capabilities to address evolving battlefield threats, ensure tactical
overmatch in future conflicts, and increase production capacity. The Department is also investing in maintaining short-range munitions to ensure proper readiness levels that offer an array of effects in permissive theaters. The FY 2026 budget ensures the Department is prepared to respond in a dynamic threat landscape, which is paramount.

Many munitions are precision-guided, enhancing the attack of a broader target set, with limited low-collateral damage employed by more than one Service and U.S. allies. This family of weapon systems includes land-attack missiles such as the Precision Strike Missile (PrSM), Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missile (JASSM), and Tomahawk Land Attack Missile (TLAM) upgrades.

The Department has invested in Counter-Unmanned Aerial Systems (CUAS) and Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS). It delivers cost-effective, laser-guided precision, offering warfighters a scalable solution against soft and light armored targets. As the operational environment grows, increasingly dynamic and drone-enabled threats proliferate, the DoD is prioritizing the rapid development and fielding of CUAS and UAS to protect forces and enhance battlefield agility.

These systems are critical for deterring and defeating a broad spectrum of aerial threats from offthe-shelf drones used for surveillance and targeting to more advanced loitering munitions employed by peer competitors. CUAS and UAS represent the cutting edge of the Department's layered approach to air defense and tactical ISR, delivering responsive, scalable capabilities tailored to joint and multi-domain operations. Achieving overmatch in our anti-ship capabilities with rigorously pursued development is the Standard Missile (SM-6), Long-Range Anti-Ship Missile (LRASM), and the Maritime Strike Tomahawks (MST), which will help to neutralize the enemy's anti-access/area denial (A2/AD) capabilities, ships, and air defenses. The Precision Strike Missile (PrSM) delivers long-range, high-speed, precision strikes against high-value targets in contested environments. Guided Multiple Launch Rocket System (GMLRS) is a family of surface-to-surface artillery rockets with precision strike capability.

Inconsistent year-over-year demand for new production limits our suppliers' ability to ramp up production rates to meet emergent military requirements quickly. Additionally, to meet the needs of sustained, high-intensity conflict and bolster warfighting capabilities, the Department is prioritizing investments that accelerate munitions production and expand the resilience of the defense industrial base. This includes targeted funding for production line modernization, advanced manufacturing technologies, and procuring long-lead materials to reduce delivery
timelines. This enables our Organic Industrial Base (OIB) and industry to scale faster and more confidently.

The Department has undertaken significant initiatives to enhance the OIB and collaborate with the commercial sector to expand munitions production capabilities for:

Naval Strike Missile (NSM) (Navy, USMC)
Standard Missile 6 (SM-6) (Navy, Army)
Precision Strike Munition (PrSM) (Army)
Advanced Medium Range Air-to-Air Missile (AMRAAM) (Air Force, Navy)
Long Range Anti-Ship Missile (LRASM) (Navy, Air Force)
Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missile (JASSM) (Air Force)
Guided Multiple Launch Rocket System (GMLRS) (Army)
Patriot Advanced Capability 3 (PAC-3) Missile Segment Enhancement (MSE) (Army)
155mm Artillery (Army)

The FY 2026 Defense Budget allocates $30.5 billion for munitions development and procurement, underscoring a strategic pivot toward modern, high-performance capabilities. This includes funding for key munitions as well as $94.9 million for 20,841 XM1128 rounds, $84.4 million for 8,250 XM1113 rounds, and $39.5 million for 2,278 C-DAEM Increment II rounds-all designed to enhance precision, range, and battlefield adaptability. The budget also sustains funding for the M1121 Extended Range Spotting Round to maintain war reserve readiness.
Aligned with this modernization effort, funding for several legacy munitions, such as the M485/M1124, M1066/M1123, M1210 HE-RAP, M107, and M795, has been eliminated for FY 2026. This reflects a multifaceted decision based on the sufficiency of existing stockpiles and a deliberate shift in strategic priorities. By reallocating resources away from systems with diminishing relevance, the Department reinforces its commitment to investing in munitions that offer greater lethality, range, and adaptability for future combat environments. Recurring threats
in an ever-changing battlefield are across multiple domains and require a multi-prong approach.

It is crucial to our national security that the Department obtain long-range fires as quickly as possible without losing focus on other critical munitions. The FY 2026 budget invests in weapons programs, shifting and balancing priorities accordingly, which equally contribute to strengthening the Department's lethal posture and our national security.

Hypersonic Warfare

Hypersonic warfare represents a significant evolution in military technology and strategy, centered around the use of hypersonic weapons. These weapons, capable of traveling at speeds exceeding Mach 5 (five times the speed of sound), pose unprecedented challenges to traditional defense systems and doctrines. Their defining characteristic is incredible speed, exceeding Mach 5 or roughly 3,800 miles per hour. Unlike ballistic missiles, which follow a predictable trajectory, many hypersonic weapons are highly maneuverable, making them difficult to intercept. Hypersonic Missiles fall into two main categories: Hypersonic Glide Vehicles (HGVs), launched by a rocket to high altitudes, then glide to their target; and Hypersonic Cruise Missiles (HCMs), powered by scramjet engines for sustained hypersonic flight.

FY26 Hypersonic Pie

Hypersonic Warfare

Current radar and satellite systems are not optimized for detecting and tracking hypersonic weapons. Their speed, maneuverability, and lower flight paths make them difficult to follow. Existing missile defense systems are largely ineffective against them. The short flight times of
hypersonic weapons significantly reduce the time available for decision-making and response. This creates a "use it or lose it" scenario for command and control.

The speed and surprise element of hypersonic weapons could increase the risk of miscalculation and escalation in a conflict. A nation might be tempted to use them preemptively, fearing a first strike by the adversary. The development and deployment of hypersonic weapons is not limited to a few nations. As the technology matures, there is a risk of proliferation to other countries, potentially destabilizing regional and global security.

Developing effective defenses against hypersonic weapons is a major priority for many countries. This includes improving detection and tracking capabilities, developing new interceptor technologies, and exploring alternative defensive strategies such as directed energy weapons. The FY 2026 budget request continues funding for projects designed to enhance hypersonic defense against adversary hypersonic threats; development and production of offensive systems, including Long Range Hypersonic Weapon (LRHW), Intermediate Range Conventional Prompt Strike (IRCPS), and the Hypersonic Attack Cruise Missile (HACM); the Multi-Service Advanced Capability Hypersonic Test Bed (MACH-TB) , and science and technology development for continued improvements in low-observable weapon form factors, lethality, and survivability.

Hypersonic Defense involves developing systems to detect, track, and intercept hypersonic weapons, which travel at speeds five times faster than the speed of sound (Mach 5). The speed, maneuverability, and variable altitude of offensive hypersonics present a different threat envelope compared to traditional ballistic missiles. Hypersonic Defense requires a layered approach encompassing advanced sensors, high-speed interceptors, automated command and control systems, and strategic deterrence.

Hypersonic Defenses include:

Early Warning Systems: Networks of ground-based radars, space-based sensors, and over-the-horizon radar systems to detect launches as early as possible.
Tracking and Discrimination: Advanced radar systems (e.g., the Aegis Combat System) and other sensing modalities (e.g., Space-Based Infrared System) are needed to accurately track hypersonic missiles and discriminate them from decoys.
Interception Systems: This area is under heavy research and development, with potential solutions including Directed Energy Weapons, ground or sea-based hypersonic missile interceptors, and improved hit-to-kill technologies.
