AN/TPY-2 Radar
Historical radar flyaway cost, sustainment quantities, depot support and the Saudi production program retain their original source scope.
Historical flyaway / radar
$172.502M
Prior-year rollup · FY2026 budget · Nominal USD; source budget basis
MD11 P-40 reports six prior-year radars and a $172.502M flyaway unit figure. Historical budget rollup, not a current replacement quote.

13
FY2026 budget narrative · U.S. only; stated source scope
Sustainment scope of 13 radars; not an independently verified count of operationally available radars.
Missile Defense Agency · CSIS mirror ↗U.S. procurement quantity
Not verified
No comparable U.S. procurement quantity was established in this review.
R&D program total
Not verified
A lifetime program R&D total was not established. Development contracts and shared program budgets are not substituted for that total.
Cost & funding breakdown
BMD Sensors annual RDT&E reference
$865.42M / yr
FY2027 total request · PB2027 · Nominal USD; source budget basis
R-1 PE0603884C BMD Sensors. Annual appropriation scope, not lifetime development cost. FY2026 includes the listed reconciliation spend plan; FY2027 includes discretionary and mandatory requests where present. Shared program scope; cannot be attributed solely to this product.
Department of Defense Comptroller ↗Radar modification procurement request
$36.53M
FY2026 · Nominal USD; source budget basis
MD11 program funding for modification work; no new radar procurement quantity in this line.
Missile Defense Agency · CSIS mirror ↗Support counts and export completions use different scopes
The U.S. budget’s 13-radar support scope must not be combined with a Saudi production announcement as if both measured U.S. operational inventory. Broad BMD Sensors R&D is not attributed solely to AN/TPY-2.
Operations & sustainment
AN/TPY-2 organic depot support · subset
$16.275M / yr
FY2026 request · Nominal USD; source budget basis
Dedicated organic depot support line; excludes broader operations, personnel and other support. Not full annual ownership cost.
Missile Defense Agency · CSIS mirror ↗AN/TPY-2 organic depot support · subset
$6.37M / yr
FY2025 budget · Nominal USD; source budget basis
Dedicated organic depot support line; excludes broader operations, personnel and other support. Not full annual ownership cost.
Missile Defense Agency · CSIS mirror ↗AN/TPY-2 organic depot support · subset
$11.19M / yr
FY2024 actual · Nominal USD; source budget basis
Dedicated organic depot support line; excludes broader operations, personnel and other support. Not full annual ownership cost.
Missile Defense Agency · CSIS mirror ↗Cost over time · 4 observations
Each row retains its original scope and dollar basis. Changing quantities, service life and inflation can change the estimate without changing the price of building one unit.
