What the FY2027 request buys
Verbatim from the R-2A exhibit for project 1355 of PE 0205633N. 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 projects to provide support to multiple platforms to analyze fleet component removal driver and reliability metrics to focus CIP investments to maximize Readiness and return on investment, improve performance analysis, structural integrity modeling and simulation tools, and developmental test and evaluation facilities and procedures for propulsion and power system including engines, drive systems, fuels and lubricants, auxiliary power and electrical power systems. Includes funding for Government Furnished Fuel for research and development test and evaluation programs to evaluate and qualify component design improvements to improve safety, readiness, reliability, maintainability and durability.
Increase of $5.850M from FY2026 to FY2027 due to organic support of multiple platforms and OEM projects for multiple platforms.
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 | 4.7 |
| FY2026 | Enacted | 4.7 |
| FY2027 | Request | 10.6 |
This activity is 12% of project 1355's FY2027 request and 9.7% of PE 0205633N'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.
