What the FY2027 request buys
Verbatim from the R-2A exhibit for project EG3 of PE 0205778A. 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.
FY 2027 continues the development and integration of an anti-jam module into the GMLRS and ER-GMLRS rockets to enable an initial anti-jam capability. FY 2027 funds also initiate studies, analyses, and performance specification development for hybrid software defined receiver to provide an adaptable solution for evolving threats.
Increase in FY 2027 is driven by the development, integration, and component level qualification of an anti-jam module and initiates performance specification development for a hybrid software defined receiver.
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.
Continues development of advanced capabilities leveraging previous work on Anti-Jam hardware through software development that enables offensive fires in a radio frequency degraded or denied environment.
Continues development of the Next Generation Guidance Set. The US Army Combat Capabilities Development Command (CCDC) Aviation and Missile Center (AvMC) will compare receiver solutions against operational and technical requirements and investigate Anti-Jamming applique solutions for Extended and Standard Range GMLRS. Begin prototyping efforts for integration of applique solutions.
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 | 5.1 |
| FY2026 | Enacted | 2.5 |
| FY2027 | Request | 54.1 |
This activity is 100% of project EG3's FY2027 request and 73% of PE 0205778A'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.
