What the FY2027 request buys
Verbatim from the R-2A exhibit for project 677722 of PE 0207439F. 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.
Continued Growth of the 350th Spectrum Warfare Wings Research, Development, Test and Evaluation capability and capacity. Specifically, transitioning from 5th to 6th generation technologies (software, hardware, etc) and platforms (B-21, F-47, etc).
Funding increased secures equipment and experts to use intel and PFDA to develop and test exquisite waveforms, integrate external V&V assessments to ensure operational effectiveness. Funding also allows for scaling PFDA infrastructure and building adaptable waveform solutions integrating AI/ML models with corresponding lab integration for support equipment.
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.
Fund Data and Waveform Lab equipment (SWORD-A Hardware Development Kit (HDK) & Software Development Kit (SDK)) to develop OSA compliant techniques and (Chimera, SMARTS, SOSA Chassis upgrade) to increase capability to execute closed loop testing within the Wing.
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 | 0.0 |
| FY2026 | Enacted | 11.1 |
| FY2027 | Request | 21.8 |
This activity is 63% of project 677722's FY2027 request and 30% of PE 0207439F'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.
