## Summary

This activity requests $225.0M in FY2027, 70% of project 676020, up 65% 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.** Funding continues OFP development efforts improving war-fighting capabilities for the F-15E and the added capabilities of the F-15EX fleet. Addresses emergent needs for Long Range Kill Chain and Collaborative Combat Aircraft missions. Integrates new or improved capabilities enhancing the F-15's ability to engage in highly contested environments, such as Beyond Line-of-Sight comms, high speed data transfer, overall connectivity, and open mission systems required for LRKC and CCA. Funding also supports improvements in electronic battle management, joint mission planning, and net enabled weapons. Continues to address the capability concurrency gap between F-15 training systems and the F-15 operational fleet to be reflective and incorporate relevant capabilities present in the OFP. Funding continues the growth of a public-private-partnership between Boeing and the Government to develop OFP organic software code for the F-15.

**FY2026 to FY2027 change.** Funding increased to rapidly integrate new capabilities, counter emerging threats, ensure aircrew safety and mission effectiveness, and maintain the F-15's competitive edge and operational readiness by supporting ongoing development, testing, and integration of critical updates.

## Before the request year

**FY2026 plans — current year.** Funding continues OFP development to improve warfighting capabilities for the F-15 fleet; fixes problems with OFP Release 25; updates F-15 common OFP to include the latest capabilities for highly contested environment, weapons including HACM, LRASM, FALCO, sensor systems including IRST integration, Eagle Passive Active Warning Survivability System (EPAWSS), and radar and sensors integration. Initiates planned updates to F-15 training systems to bring concurrent with the F-15 fleet by 4Q FY2027. FY 2026 funding also supports the development and growth of a public-private-partnership between Boeing and the Government to develop OFP software code for the F-15 Advanced Display Core Processor (ADCP) II.
