What the FY2027 request buys
Verbatim from the R-2A exhibit for project 1662 of PE 0204136N. 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.
Funding will support final Rapid Prototyping development under the Middle Tier Acquisition effort. Funding will also support Government flight and environmental testing and final system evaluation. Funding will continue to support the Agile Software Continuous Integration, Delivery & Deployment (CID&D) for improvement and integration efforts required to incorporate ADVEW capabilities.
FY2026 to FY2027 decrease of $26.22M due to completion of ADVEW design and development efforts.
FY2026: the year under way
Prior-year accomplishments and current-year plans from the same exhibit. Context for the FY2027 plan, not a series — an activity partitions its project exactly in the request year, but can under-cover it in earlier years.
Funding will support final contracting efforts to include Rapid Prototyping development as well as final government testing and evaluation. Funding will continue to support the Agile Software Continuous Integration, Delivery & Deployment (CID&D) for improvement and integration efforts required to incorporate ADVEW capabilities.
Three years, and no five-year plan
An R-2A activity publishes the prior year, the current year and the budget year. The FYDP outyears exist at project and program-element level and are deliberately absent here rather than inferred. Estimate types are colored and never summed into one figure.
| Fiscal Year | Estimate Type | Amount ($M) |
|---|---|---|
| FY2025 | Actual | 108.5 |
| FY2026 | Enacted | 89.5 |
| FY2027 | Request | 63.3 |
This activity is 24% of project 1662's FY2027 request and 23% of PE 0204136N'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.
