What the FY2027 request buys
Verbatim from the R-2A exhibit for project 653133 of PE 0207328F. 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.
Continue maturation of subsystems to meet requirements for a fieldable system. These activities include next higher-level assembly development, component/subsystem test efforts and maturation of anti-tamper capabilities. Conduct Integrated Test 2 (IT-2) and Production Readiness Review (PRR) in preparation for MS-C. Begin System Improvement Program (SIP) for AARGM-ER and SiAW.
Funding decreased due to FY2027 expected completion of SiAW MTA effort and planned transition to MCA pathway and SiAW production.
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.
Executed next higher-level assembly development, continued test and fielding Risk Reduction (RR) efforts, matured system security and anti-tamper capabilities and conducted Developmental Test (DT-1) for SiAW weapon system. Used the established Integrated Digital Environments (IDE) for digital engineering, configuration management, and evaluation of system performance utilizing the virtual twin and its associated modeling and simulation 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.
| Fiscal Year | Estimate Type | Amount ($M) |
|---|---|---|
| FY2025 | Actual | 197.2 |
| FY2026 | Enacted | 219.5 |
| FY2027 | Request | 15.9 |
This activity is 14% of project 653133's FY2027 request and 14% of PE 0207328F'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.

Every R-2A line of this project, largest FY2027 request first. Linked where the activity has enough of its own narrative to carry a page; the rest are shown in full on the program-element page.
