As part of its proposed FY2015 budget, the Navy is requesting funding for the procurement of two Arleigh Burke (DDG-51) class Aegis destroyers. The 10 DDG-51s programmed for procurement in FY2013-FY2017 (three ships in FY2013, one in FY2014, and two each in FY2015-FY2017) are being procured under a multiyear procurement (MYP) contract. The Navy estimates the combined procurement cost of the two DDG-51s requested for procurement in FY2015 at $2,969.4 million, or an average of $1,484.7 million each. The two ships have received a total of $297.9 million in prior-year advance procurement (AP) funding. The Navy's proposed FY2015 budget requests the remaining $2,671.4 million to complete the two ships' combined procurement cost. The Navy's proposed FY2015 budget also requests $129.1 million to complete the cost of one of the three DDG-51s funded in FY2013 (where a funding shortfall occurred as a result of the March 1, 2013, sequester on Department of Defense [DOD] programs), and $134.0 million in advance procurement (AP) funding for DDG-51s to be procured in future fiscal years, bringing the total requested for the DDG-51 program for FY2015 (excluding outfitting and post-delivery costs) to $2,934.6 million. The Navy's proposed FY2015 budget also requests $419.5 million in procurement funding to help complete the procurement cost of three Zumwalt (DDG-1000) class destroyers procured in FY2007-FY2009. The current version of the DDG-51 is called the Flight IIA design. The Navy wants to begin procuring a new version of the DDG-51 design, called the Flight III design, starting with the second of the two ships scheduled for procurement in FY2016. The Flight III design is to feature a new and more capable radar called the Air and Missile Defense Radar (AMDR). The Navy's proposed budget requests $144.7 million in research and development funding for the AMDR.
