What the FY2027 request buys
Verbatim from the R-2A exhibit for project 676013 of PE 0207457F. 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.
-Will continue agile software development with at least quarterly software releases across TACP systems -Will continue testing software releases, as applicable -Will continue to support development/fielding of Joint Personal Edge Computing Device - Tactical Android (JPECD-TA)/Tactical Assault Kit (TAK) and other Dismounted Special Warfare software -Will continue TACP common software architecture for further development to meet other Special Warfare airman operational needs -Will continue to integrate WARHAWK with ASOC/TOC (TACP C2) software acquisition -Will continue to purchase and support software licenses needed by TACP and TACP Mission Software -Will conduct investigations, studies and assessments to provide additional features (capabilities) for the software. -Will conduct investigations, studies, assessments, and development/integration to provide additional features (capabilities) for the software, EMS, BLOS BB/BH, sUAS, and WAIS.
Increase in funding due to inflationary adjustments and to perform additional WARHAWK software sprint releases
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.

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 | 11.7 |
| FY2027 | Request | 12.5 |
This activity is 100% of project 676013's FY2027 request and 51% of PE 0207457F'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.
