What the FY2027 request buys
Verbatim from the R-2A exhibit for project 4036 of PE 0204229N. 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.
Continuation of design/development, validation of new advanced features, security measures, kill chain improvements, and software architecture of TMPC 8.X that increases performance for fielded systems and is aligned with future capabilities.
The FY 2027 decrease is due to the conclusion of the Navigation Product Automation Study.
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.
Continuation of design/development, validation of new advanced features, security measures, kill chain improvements, and software architecture of TMPC 7.X that increases performance for fielded systems and is aligned with future capabilities. Plans also include the continuation of design/development of TMPC 8.X.
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 | 11.3 |
| FY2026 | Enacted | 15.9 |
| FY2027 | Request | 14.9 |
This activity is 62% of project 4036's FY2027 request and 19% of PE 0204229N'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.
