) with extended range guided munitions (ERGMs) that would enable the ships to fire projectiles about 40 nautical miles (74.1 km) inland. However the ERGM was cancelled.
The modernization program is designed to provide a comprehensive mid-life upgrade to ensure that the class remains effective. Reduced manning, increased mission effectiveness, and a reduced total cost of ownership are the goals of the modernization program. Modernization technologies will be integrated during new construction of DDG-111 and 112, then retrofitted into DDG Flight I and II ships during in-service overhaul periods. The first phase will update the hull, mechanical and electrical systems while the second phase will introduce an open architecture computing environment (OACE). The result will be improved capability in both ballistic missile defense (BMD) and littoral combat.
The Navy is also upgrading the ships' ability to process data. Beginning with USS Spruance, the Navy is installing an

DDG-113 to DDG-115 will be "restart" ships, similar to previous Flight IIA's but including the modernization features such as OACE; DDG-116 to DDG-121 will be "Technology Insertion" ships with elements of Flight III, and Flight III proper will start with DDG-122.

However costs for the Flight III ships have increased rapidly as expectations and requirements for the program have grown. In particular, this has been a result of the changing requirements needed to carry the proposed Air and Missile Defense Radar system required for the ships' ballistic missile defense role.
The US Navy is considering stretching the acquisition of the Arleigh Burke-class destroyer class well into the 2040s, according to revised procurement tables sent to the US Congress which say that the navy will procure Flight IV ships from 2032 through 2041.
