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 B1, B-2, F-15, F-16, and U-2 aircraft - Address safety of flight, 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 engine LCC, and sustain engines throughout their service life
Increase from FY26 to FY27 provides funding for several high-priority engineering tasks required to improve the reliability and supportability of the F110, F101, and F118 engine fleets. This funding enables the execution of tasks prioritized by the Engine Advisory Board. Specifically, the increase will fund Common Depot Repair Development to increase parts availability; a Proactive Electronics Obsolescence program to mitigate future readiness issues; and the F110/F118 VSV Bellcrank Redesign, which fixes a critical safety issue known to cause in-flight shutdowns.
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 | 11.6 |
| FY2026 | Enacted | 8.4 |
| FY2027 | Request | 21.1 |
This activity is 12% of project 671012's FY2027 request and 10% 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.
