What the FY2027 request buys
Verbatim from the R-2A exhibit for project 673041 of PE 0303131F. 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.
Work to be accomplished during the next FY includes, but is not limited to, standing up the program office to support the initial development activities of the IMT program, develop the acquisition and contract strategy, assist AFGSC in requirements development, conduct market research and award studies to evaluate industry capabilities and work with other DOW Services to evaluate advancement in technology which could help decrease the length of the technology maturation, integration, test, and other risk reduction activities.
Increase requirement from $0.000M in FY26 to $15.800M in FY27 to facilitate the start of IMT development.
Three years, and no five-year plan
An R-2A activity publishes the prior year, the current year and the budget year. The FYDP outyears exist at project and program-element level and are deliberately absent here rather than inferred. Estimate types are colored and never summed into one figure.
| Fiscal Year | Estimate Type | Amount ($M) |
|---|---|---|
| FY2026 | Enacted | 0.0 |
| FY2027 | Request | 15.8 |
This activity is 100% of project 673041's FY2027 request and 6.2% of PE 0303131F'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.
