This activity requests $16.0M in FY2027, 100% of project 654522, down 69% 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

Verbatim from the R-2A exhibit for project 654522 of PE 0207279F. 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

-Complete test and integration of Beyond Line of Sight (BLOS) capability -Complete test and Integration of Hand Held Radio -Complete the integration of Cloud-based data processing -Complete the integration of Web Application -Complete the integration of National encryption assets -Complete the NSA Certification of Hand Held Radio -Complete development and Integration of support equipment -Complete Portable Interrogator capability: mounted/dismounted, hardware and software capabilities

FY2026 to FY2027 change

The $35.730 million decrease in FY 2027 is due to level-of-efforts nearing completion of the NGSR system and its support equipment.

Before the request year

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.

FY2026 plans — current year

-Begin test and integration of Beyond Line of Sight (BLOS) capability -Begin test and Integration of Hand Held Radio -Continue the integration of Cloud-based data processing -Continue the integration of Web Application -Begin the integration of National encryption assets -Begin the National Security Agency (NSA) Certification of the Hand Held Radio -Continue development and Integration of support equipment -Develop Portable Interrogator capability: mounted/dismounted, hardware and software capabilities

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 654522's FY2027 request and 100% of PE 0207279F'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.
