## Summary

This activity requests $998.6M in FY2027, 100% of project 675129, up 68% 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.** Continue execution of the Post-CDR Development contract. Continue ordering hardware for two test aircraft on material contracts and deliver necessary components to modify the aircraft. Continue F130 engine integration testing. Begin modification of test aircraft.

**FY2026 to FY2027 change.** Funding increase due to transition from design to aircraft modification. Transition involves reassigning personnel to support Post-CDR Development contract and prepare for flight test. FY 2026 funding request lower than requirements to correct prior carry-over.

## Before the request year

**FY2026 plans — current year.** Complete all subsystem Critical Design Reviews (CDR) culminating in System CDR. Begin execution of the Post- CDR Development contract. Continue ordering hardware for two test aircraft on material contracts and deliver necessary components to modify the aircraft. Stand up the test aircraft modification facility. Continue F130 engine integration testing.
