What the FY2027 request buys
Verbatim from the R-2A exhibit for project 676011 of PE 0207142F. 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 execution of the Phase 2 C2D2 contract: DCA Software Regression Testing, Flyable Test Assets Testing, DCA Propulsion Mission Support for Flight Test Operations, Mission System Flight Testing, and AMAC Testing. Continue updating the NSAR, TNSA, MICD, and EICD documentation for the initial TR-3 nuclear certification. Delta Nuclear Certification activities continue in order to certify TR-2 F-35As (30P08 and 30P09 software), that contain additional DCA hardware and software, as well as Lot 15 F-35As with TR-3. Continue initial TR-3 nuclear certification hardware and software development and testing by the prime contractor, Lockheed Martin. Continue AMAC on TR-3 production aircraft as well as AMAC graduation event on production aircraft. Delta Nuclear Certification activities continue in order to certify Lot 16 F-35As, NSAR, TNSA, MICD, and EICD documentation for nuclear certification.
Funding increased from FY2026 to FY2027 due to FY2026 Congressional reduction for project carryover (-$7.026 million).
FY2026: the year under way
Prior-year accomplishments and current-year plans from the same exhibit. Context for the FY2027 plan, not a series — an activity partitions its project exactly in the request year, but can under-cover it in earlier years.
Continue execution of the Phase 2 C2D2 contract: DCA Software Regression Testing, Flyable Test Assets Testing, DCA Propulsion Mission Support for Flight Test Operations, Mission System Flight Testing, and Aircraft Monitor and Control (AMAC) Testing. Continue updating the Nuclear Safety Analysis Report (NSAR), Technical Nuclear Safety Analysis (TNSA), Mechanical Interface Control Document (MICD), and Electrical Interface Control Document (EICD) documentation for the initial TR-3 nuclear certification. Delta Nuclear Certification activities continue in order to certify TR-2 F-35As (30P08 and 30P09 software), that contain additional DCA hardware and software, as well as Lot 15 F-35As with TR-3. Continue initial TR-3 nuclear certification hardware and software development and testing by the prime contractor, Lockheed Martin. Continue AMAC on TR-3 production aircraft as well as AMAC graduation event on production aircraft. Delta Nuclear Certification activities continue in order to certify Lot 16 F-35As, NSAR, TNSA, MICD, and EICD documentation for nuclear certification
Three years, and no five-year plan
An R-2A activity publishes the prior year, the current year and the budget year. The FYDP outyears exist at project and program-element level and are deliberately absent here rather than inferred. Estimate types are colored and never summed into one figure.
| Fiscal Year | Estimate Type | Amount ($M) |
|---|---|---|
| FY2025 | Actual | 21.7 |
| FY2026 | Enacted | 14.6 |
| FY2027 | Request | 22.3 |
This activity is 100% of project 676011's FY2027 request and 47% of PE 0207142F'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.
