# Continuing Resolution Delays Army Pacific Programs

A continuing resolution is delaying United States Army Pacific’s ability to initiate FY2027 programs, including Mission Partner Network experimentation and long-range precision fires development. The FY2027 budget request identifies **$921.9 million** for a THAAD new start and **$132.1 million** for the AN/TPY-2 sensor; these are budget requests, not announced awards, and no MPN solicitation or award is reported.

- Contractors planning for Army opportunities should account for delays to new program starts while the continuing resolution remains in effect.
- The THAAD and AN/TPY-2 requests are potential indicators of future defense demand, but do not establish that funding has been enacted or a procurement released.
- Companies can use appropriations and Army budget updates to reassess timelines and pipeline assumptions for these programs and USARPAC priorities.
