What the FY2027 request buys
Verbatim from the R-2A exhibit for project 675039 of PE 0101113F. This is the budget justification's own description of work that has not happened yet — the one thing no other level of the budget carries.
Engineering & Manufacturing Development (EMD) for LRASM/JASSM Integration including computational fluid dynamics, system safety, SEEK EAGLE, and software updates to successfully employ the latest variant of LRASM/JASSM. Integrating the latest variants of LRASM/JASSM onto the B-52. The activities in FY27 will include integrating the missile OFP into the baseline Bomber Software Build (BSB) that's fielded on the B-52. The activities in FY27 will ensure: safe separation of the weapons from both wings and internal carriage launcher, necessary SIL work completed for system safety protocols, Universal Armament Interface updates, crew working groups to ensure full capabilities of the missiles can be used in an operational environment at operational timelines, incorporating classified capabilities of the latest variants onto the B-52, and other various required programmatic activities that allows weapons employment at scale for LRASM/JASSM.
Increase for additional advance weapons analysis and integration activities
Three years, and no five-year plan
An R-2A activity publishes the prior year, the current year and the budget year. The FYDP outyears exist at project and program-element level and are deliberately absent here rather than inferred. Estimate types are colored and never summed into one figure.
| Fiscal Year | Estimate Type | Amount ($M) |
|---|---|---|
| FY2026 | Enacted | 0.0 |
| FY2027 | Request | 50.3 |
This activity is 40% of project 675039's FY2027 request and 3.4% of PE 0101113F's. In the request year the activities under a project sum to it exactly; in the current year they under-cover it in about 9% of cases, so an activity's delta can legitimately exceed its parent's and the two must not be compared row to row.
