What the FY2027 request buys
Verbatim from the R-2A exhibit for project 3772 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.
- Continue development of YETI - details are held at a higher classification. - Continue development of Smoke Screen - details are held at a higher classification. - Continue development of ERS and Golding, realigned from Proj 2275 - details are held at a higher classification. - Initiate research and development activities for planned SVPT Unclass and Secret hardware refresh. - Initiate prototype development of CANCUN - details are held at a higher classification.
Increase from FY26 to FY27 is primarily attributed to the development of Golding, YETI-A and ERS in which details are held at a higher classification.
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.
- Continued prototype development of YETI - details are held at a higher classification.
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 | 6.0 |
| FY2026 | Enacted | 17.5 |
| FY2027 | Request | 43.0 |
This activity is 98% of project 3772's FY2027 request and 16% 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.
