What the FY2027 request buys
Verbatim from the R-2A exhibit for project 0766 of PE 0204311N. 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.
- Continue Advanced Capabilities development of Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning algorithms for enhanced human-machine performance; Continue system infrastructure modernization to streamline system development, to provide more flexibility in hardware and to enable for more frequent software updates of software to include patches/baseline and new capabilities; advanced beamforming techniques. - Continue development of hardware and software architecture for new T-AGOS 25 class SURTASS Vessels. - Continue Integration and Testing for hardware/software packages for existing T-AGOS vessels. - Continue development of software and hardware of DevSecOps to increase cyber security posture. - Continue to develop prioritized capabilities to include ownship noise reduction in support of expeditionary platforms and analysis of processing for a different acoustic environment in support for TAGOS repositioning.
The $1.348M decrease from FY26 to FY27 is the result of reprioritization of funding to ramp development of the Next Generation SURTASS Array (NGSA).
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.

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 | 13.9 |
| FY2026 | Enacted | 12.3 |
| FY2027 | Request | 11.0 |
This activity is 19% of project 0766's FY2027 request and 15% of PE 0204311N'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.
