What the FY2027 request buys
Verbatim from the R-2A exhibit for project 671012 of PE 0207268F. 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 execute multiple tasks to address engine issues and readiness associated with the F-15 and F-16 aircraft - Address engine component redesign, repair/rework procedures, engine maturation and life limit/mission analysis - Validate redesigned parts and new repair procedures - Maintain engine flight safety, address obsolescence deficiencies, improve OR and R&M, reduce LCC, and sustain engines throughout their service life
Increase from FY26 to FY27 provides funding for critical new and expanded engineering tasks required to improve the safety and reliability of the F-15 and F-16 fleets. The funding directly supports tasks prioritized by the Engine Advisory Board, including the Augmenter Liner Cracking redesign to address a top fleet readiness degrader, the E-Flap Resin Obsolescence project to mitigate a critical material shortfall, and the DEEC Software Upgrade to improve fault isolation and reduce field maintenance actions.
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 | 8.2 |
| FY2026 | Enacted | 10.0 |
| FY2027 | Request | 25.1 |
This activity is 15% of project 671012's FY2027 request and 12% of PE 0207268F'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.
