What the FY2027 request buys
Verbatim from the R-2A exhibit for project 675307 of PE 0207431F. 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 Kill Chain automation support to enhance F2T2EA S2S intelligence, integration with C3BM and DAF Battle Net along with training on applications to shorten and automate long range kill chains. Enhance F2T2EA S2S intelligence systems of record/programs of primacy focusing on data standardization, Object/Element normalization, and systems integration. Additionally, supports development for training on applications to shorten and automate long range kill chains in accordance with current operations and Joint Warfighting Concepts 3.0. This includes intelligence Unit-level-to-National integration of: Turbo (Disposition-of-Forces Object/Elements); Cognos (Algorithmic/AI data visualization and system insight analysis); Snapglass (Common Intelligence/Operating Picture and algorithmic/relationship analysis); Katana (dynamic strike custody, target reporting, and decision-making optimization); FADE/MIST (Unit-level data analysis and alerting for custom/combined mission integration); Odysseus (Automatic Target Recognition and machine enhanced Category 1 (one) target coordinate generation); IDEX 2.0 (ISR Collection and Operational Control/Management); and Kraken (Joint All Domain Integrate ISR feasibility, planning, and optimization automation)
FY 2027 budget increase.
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.
Continue Kill Chain Acceleration/Automation efforts between the Intelligence Unit-Level and greater Air and Joint Forces community. Enhance F2T2EA S2S intelligence systems of record/programs of primacy focusing on data standardization, Object/Element normalization, and systems integration. Additionally, supports development for training on applications to shorten and automate long range kill chains in accordance with current operations and Joint Warfighting Concepts 3.0. This includes intelligence Unit-level-to-National integration of: Turbo (Disposition-of-Forces Object/Elements); Cognos (Algorithmic/AI data visualization and system insight analysis); Snapglass (Common Intelligence/Operating Picture and algorithmic/relationship analysis); Katana (dynamic strike custody, target reporting, and decision-making optimization); FADE/MIST (Unit-level data analysis and alerting for custom/combined mission integration); Odysseus (Automatic Target Recognition and machine enhanced Category 1 (one) target coordinate generation); IDEX 2.0 (ISR Collection and Operational Control/Management); and Kraken (Joint All Domain Integrate ISR feasibility, planning, and optimization automation)
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 | 17.7 |
| FY2026 | Enacted | 26.2 |
| FY2027 | Request | 25.2 |
This activity is 77% of project 675307's FY2027 request and 75% of PE 0207431F'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.
