## Summary

This activity requests $10.8M in FY2027, 100% of project 671803, up 618% on FY2026. The R-2A exhibit describes it across FY2026–FY2027, including what the FY2027 money is planned to buy.

## What the FY2027 request buys

**FY2027 planned work.** Will continue to provide funding for the test aircraft, manpower, BMDAS, and facilities at the Air Force Test Center, Edwards AFB. This will support the developmental testing, facility, and sustainment needs of the B-52 test assets.

**FY2026 to FY2027 change.** The increase in funding from FY26 to FY27 is driven by the requirement to sustain the test aircraft with RDT&E funds at Edwards AFB and other locations including parts, labor, and support.

## Before the request year

**FY2026 plans — current year.** Will continue to provide funding for the test aircraft, manpower, BMDAS, and facilities at the Air Force Test Center, Edwards AFB. This will support the developmental testing, facility, and sustainment needs of the B-52.
