This activity requests $56.3M in FY2027, 21% of project 675344 — a new start with no prior-year and no current-year money. The R-2A exhibit describes it across FY2026–FY2027, including what the FY2027 money is planned to buy.

New start

This activity requests $56.3M in FY2027 with no prior-year and no current-year funding. There is no incumbent line to compare it with — it did not exist before this President's Budget.

What the FY2027 request buys

Verbatim from the R-2A exhibit for project 675344 of PE 0101126F. 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.

FY2027 planned work

Complete an Initial Operational Capability (IOC) for the BSTAR program by operationally testing the COCO supplemental training construct supporting Dyess and Ellsworth AFB, delivering operationally relevant ground and flight training to B-1 aircrew while generating and sustaining planned sortie throughput across both locations.

FY2026 to FY2027 change

Before the request year

FY2026: the year under way

Prior-year accomplishments and current-year plans from the same exhibit. Context for the FY2027 plan, not a series — an activity partitions its project exactly in the request year, but can under-cover it in earlier years.

FY2026 plans — current year

FY 2026 Congressional Add: Begin and execute an Initial Operational Capability (IOC) for the BSTAR program by operationally testing the COCO supplemental training construct supporting Dyess and Ellsworth AFB, delivering operationally relevant ground and flight training to B-1 aircrew while generating and sustaining planned sortie throughput across both locations.

Money

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.

This activity is 21% of project 675344's FY2027 request and 21% of PE 0101126F'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.
