## Summary

This activity requests $21.1M in FY2027, 12% of project 671012, up 152% on FY2026. The R-2A exhibit describes it across FY2026–FY2027, including what the FY2027 money is planned to buy.

## What the FY2027 request buys

**FY2027 planned work.** - 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

**FY2026 to FY2027 change.** 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.

## Before the request year

**FY2026 plans — current year.** - 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
