## Summary

This activity requests $25.4M in FY2027, 4.8% of project 672671, down 28% on FY2026. The R-2A exhibit describes it across FY2026–FY2027, including what the FY2027 money is planned to buy.

## What the FY2027 request buys

**FY2027 planned work.** Continuation of M8.2.7 DT/OT for Rehost of OFP, HRPDG and APX-127(V)1. DT/OT for Support for F-16 OFP SCU 15 and M8.3, DT/OT flight test of cybersecurity upgrades, VENOM, IVEWS, MMC, PDG, HSDN, and SMDS with A-GCAS OT. Continuation of integration of Advanced Anti-Radiation Guided Missile-Extended Range (AARGM-ER). Integration of Stand-in Attack Weapon (SiAW). Integration of additional weapons. Integration of Ethernet Switch Upgrade and Sensor Integration Unit (SIU). Integration of advanced radar capabilities. Initial and continued DT/OT of F-16 M8.3 OFP enabling Ethernet, Composite Stab, Resilient-Embedded Global Positioning System/Inertial (R-EGI) as well as various hardware subsystem upgrades. DT for Brake Controller System (BCS), Advanced Programmable Signal Processor (APSP), and Digital flight Control Computer (DFLCC) power supply. Instrumentation updates for APG-83 and ethernet testing equipment.

**FY2026 to FY2027 change.** Decrease of $9.927M from FY26 to FY27 reflects adjustment after backlog of weapons and instrumentation buys needed to support test efforts completed in FY26.

## Before the request year

**FY2026 plans — current year.** Completion of F-16 SCU 13 OT, SCU 14 DT/OT and M-Series 7.4 re-release DT/OT. Completion of SMDS with A-GCAS DT. Continuation of M8.2.5, M8.2.6 and M8.2.7 DT/OT for Rehost of OFP, HRPDG and APX-127(V)1. DT for Support for F-16 OFP DT/OT flight test of cybersecurity upgrades, VENOM, IVEWS, MMC, PDG, HSDN, and SMDS with A-GCAS OT. Continuation of integration of Advanced Anti-Radiation Guided Missile-Extended Range (AARGM-ER). DT for Brake Controller System (BCS), Advanced Programmable Signal Processor (APSP), and Digital flight Control Computer (DFLCC) power supply. Significant instrumentation re-design and installation for aged Flight Sciences aircraft for SEEK EAGLE DT to enable F-16 SEEK EAGLE certification requirements DT. Significant weapons and instrumentation buys to include AIM-120 TM, JASSM WPN & TM, GBU-39 FTV, etc.
