What the FY2027 request buys
Verbatim from the R-2A exhibit for project 670001 of PE 0207247F. 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.
- Will continue initiative development, demonstration, and transition activities focused on SOI data acquisition and conditioning to provide MTE at scale through the identification, tracking, and engagement of numerous moving or mobile targets in a highly contested, multi-domain environment - Will continue development, demonstration, and transition for activities focused on enhancing Enterprise data processing capabilities to meet tactically-relevant MTE requirements - Will continue development, demonstration, and transition for activities focused on the MTE infrastructure to provide rapid, effective processing of key adversary SOIs and optimize data flows to provide actionable data to the warfighter
Funding decreased to focus on delivery of rapid prototype projects by the requested fielding date.
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.

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 | 26.2 |
| FY2026 | Enacted | 26.7 |
| FY2027 | Request | 19.7 |
This activity is 39% of project 670001's FY2027 request and 39% of PE 0207247F'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 program-element page.
