What the FY2027 request buys
Verbatim from the R-2A exhibit for project 2274 of PE 0206313M. 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.
- Initiate developmental systems engineering testing for electromagnetic warfare mission loads and software cyber security patches. - Initiate testing of new and developing mission load-sets ability to exploit or defeat advanced and emerging threat systems. - Initiate testing of C4ISR Modular Open Suites of Standards (CMOSS) Payload Devices. - Initiate developmental systems engineering testing for Own Force Monitoring capability in order to achieve electromagnetic spectrum (EMS) dominance, a critical enabler for Force Design, EABO/MLR, and Joint All-Domain Operations. Funding will provide the Fleet Marine Force the capability to visualize the EMS, allowing commanders to see friendly and enemy signatures, disrupt enemy kill chains, and manage the force's own electronic footprint. - Initiate user evaluations and participate in exercises for Mounted Chassis Variant 1 - Initiate HERO/HERF/HERP testing of experimental Mounted Chassis Variant 1
The increase from FY 2026 to FY 2027 reflects modernization of Electronic Warfare Counter-Unmanned Arial Systems (C-UAS) and Counter Radio Controlled IED (C-RCIED) capabilities commensurate with rapidly advancing threats. Additionally, increase will support development/testing of Own Force Sensing capabilities to enable radio frequency spectrum monitoring in support of force protection measures. Funding will also support rigorous testing of cybersecurity patches to protect these vital systems from enemy intrusion and validate the ability of next-generation mission loads to dynamically counter and exploit emerging adversary technologies thereby ensuring forces can maintain freedom of maneuver and a decisive tactical advantage in a contested electronic environment.
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 | 2.7 |
| FY2026 | Enacted | 0.0 |
| FY2027 | Request | 10.1 |
This activity is 38% of project 2274's FY2027 request and 3.8% of PE 0206313M'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.
