This activity requests $65.3M in FY2027, 100% of project 646508 — a new start with no prior-year and no current-year money. The R-2A exhibit describes it across FY2027, including what the FY2027 money is planned to buy.

New start

This activity requests $65.3M in FY2027 with no prior-year and no current-year funding. There is no incumbent line to compare it with — it did not exist before this President's Budget.

What the FY2027 request buys

Verbatim from the R-2A exhibit for project 646508 of PE 0302060F. 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

- Secure DevRFP decision from Program Executive Offices (PEO) - Release the LG-N RFP and execute source selection - Supporting development and modernization of required NC3, C3, Cryptographic, Open Architecture/Open Mission System, and other capabilities to ensure systems are sustainable and available to integrate into the LG-N Weapon System - Support test planning and preparation activities - Program office manning growth-path and develop secure space required - Support Major Commands (MAJCOM) LG-N preparatory and planning activities

FY2026 to FY2027 change

Funding increased due to stand up of LG-N program office and contracting activities.

Money

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 646508's FY2027 request and 100% of PE 0302060F'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.
