What the FY2027 request buys
Verbatim from the R-2A exhibit for project 674550 of PE 0203345F. 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.
- Will begin to develop and deploy the initial integrated software capability with a modular architecture, including user-facing interfaces, workflow pipelines, and role-based access for classification, declassification, and policy adjudication functions. - Will begin to implement and mature AI-based and deterministic rule-based classification engines to deliver incremental capability and reduce risk to large-scale DoW-wide deployment. - Will begin to develop and apply data analytics capabilities to identify patterns, inconsistencies, and relationships across classification guidance to refine classification logic and policy alignment. - Will continue digitization, normalization, and improvement of classification guidance to maintain machine-readable policy inputs that can be updated without full system reconfiguration. - Will begin to establish the foundational Multi-Level Information System (MLIS) environment, including compute, storage, and accreditation, to support phased expansion across NIPR, SIPR, JWICS, and SAP networks. - Will conduct continuous testing, user feedback, and monitoring of system performance to verify and validate classification accuracy and data handling to correct errors and improve system performance. - Will begin to develop and implement the initial classification challenge workflow with appropriate government agencies.
Funding increased because the effort is transitioning to be a formal program delivering operational information security capability across the DoW; the increase in funding supports the transition and expanded scope from the initial innovation effort previously under AFWERX.
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) |
|---|---|---|
| FY2025 | Actual | 0.0 |
| FY2026 | Enacted | 0.0 |
| FY2027 | Request | 45.0 |
This activity is 100% of project 674550's FY2027 request and 100% of PE 0203345F'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.
