What the FY2027 request buys
Verbatim from the R-2A exhibit for project DD4 of PE 0203735A. 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.
Conduct system level integration and engineering efforts to upgrade and design mobility, survivability, reliability, software, and lethality upgrades. Continue trade studies, market surveys, select and demonstrate enhanced AMPV capabilities to include Contested Logistics, C-UAS, CRT, Segmented CRT, Vehicular Situational Awareness, MEPs and other emerging capability enhancements to address current and emerging threats. Technology demonstrations will continue to provide a body of knowledge to inform Army decisions to integrate capabilities on the AMPV.
Funding increase is due to economic adjustments.
FY2025–FY2026: what came before
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.
Conduct system level integration and engineering efforts to upgrade and design mobility, survivability, reliability, and lethality upgrades. Continue trade studies, market surveys, select and demonstrate capabilities for the Composite Rubber Track, Segmented track, Vehicular Situational Awareness and other emerging capability enhancements to address current and emerging threats. Technology demonstrations will continue to provide a body of knowledge to inform Army decisions regarding the integration of capabilities onto the Armored Multi-Purpose Vehicle.
Conducted system level integration and engineering efforts to upgrade and design mobility, survivability, reliability, and lethality upgrades. Conducted trade studies, market surveys, selected and demonstrated capability for Engineering and Field Artillery configurations, Composite Rubber Track (CRT), and Counter-Unmanned Aeriel System (C-UAS) projects. These projects continued to execute technology demonstrations, inform requirements and provided a body of knowledge for future decisions on acquisition and integration on the AMPV vehicle.
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 | 11.0 |
| FY2026 | Enacted | 8.7 |
| FY2027 | Request | 10.0 |
This activity is 92% of project DD4's FY2027 request and 2.0% of PE 0203735A'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.

Every R-2A line of this project, largest FY2027 request first. Linked where the activity has enough of its own narrative to carry a page; the rest are shown in full on the project page.
