HitchAI read

This activity requests $25.6M in FY2027, 100% of project 674807 — a new start with no prior-year and no current-year money. The R-2A exhibit describes it across FY2027, including what the FY2027 money is planned to buy.

New start

This activity requests $25.6M in FY2027 with no prior-year and no current-year funding. There is no incumbent line to compare it with — it did not exist before this President's Budget.

What the FY2027 request buys

Verbatim from the R-2A exhibit for project 674807 of PE 0207253F. 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.

FY2027 planned work

Will continue PME development, integration, and test on platform upgrades and associated simulators/trainers, address PME discrepancies as required, and future analysis/maturation of baseline and capability development activities. Specific efforts include, but are not limited to, the following: • Will develop platform and PME engineering, upgrade, and test activities • Will advance Electromagnetic Attack offensive capabilities and expanding frequency coverage • Will study and analyze for current/future baseline development planning • Will advance future capabilities to combat emerging and modern threats • Will advance future external communications upgrades • Will develop training systems/simulation lab environments • Will fund program support costs (PSC)

FY2026 to FY2027 change

Funding increased from $0 thousands to $25,618 thousands to support BL5 development, maturation of AEA technologies, and future spiral baseline upgrades.

Money

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.

This activity is 100% of project 674807's FY2027 request and 39% of PE 0207253F'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.
