What the FY2027 request buys
Verbatim from the R-2A exhibit for project 140 of PE 0303140D8Z. 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 to collaborate with industry to develop new cybersecurity technologies for legacy network upgrades, evolving into new cybersecurity architectures and command and control capabilities. Continue tactical networks, coalition, and mission partner networks development and engineering support. Develop and implement strategies to defend against sophisticated cyber adversaries and large-scale incidents, including threat-based system security engineering and developing critical design artifacts. Continue improving built-in cybersecurity, mission assurance, mitigation analyses, and vulnerability detection (hardware and software testing) in acquisition programs. Deploy Microsoft 365 E5 licenses across DoWIN. • Automate the implementation plans. • Post quantum cryptography strategy. • Streamline the risk assessment and authorization processes for software-enabled products and services. • Standardize systems modeling language v2 use to support enterprise modeling. • Continuing with cyber scholarship program.
FY 2027 increase due to Post quantum requirements
FY2025–FY2026: what came before
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.
Collaborate with industry to develop new cybersecurity technologies for legacy network upgrades, evolving into new cybersecurity architectures and command and control capabilities. Develop and refine policies for acquisition program protection strategies and oversight. Develop strategies, standards, and tools for supply chain risk management, collaborating with industry on global sourcing standards. Evaluate cyber activities to efficiently mitigate investment decisions using cybersecurity metrics, supporting policy development, refinement, and oversight. Formulate programmatic advice and participate in advisory and governance bodies. Accelerate cloud security guidance and procedures by commercial cloud service providers. Refine and oversee comprehensive secure mobility processes, policies, and cybersecurity capabilities. Continue tactical networks, coalition, and mission partner networks development and engineering support. Develop and implement strategies to defend against sophisticated cyber adversaries and large-scale incidents, including threat-based system security engineering and developing critical design artifacts. Support analyses on DoW cloud-based computing cybersecurity, risk factors, and mitigation controls refinement, as part of the Risk Management Framework (RMF) to accelerate DoW cloud adoption. Refine and integrate policies with the RMF, supportive standards, guidance, efficiencies, and web-based processes to strengthen information system controls and protections. Continue improving built-in cybersecurity, mission assurance, mitigation analyses, and vulnerability detection (hardware and software testing) in acquisition programs. Deploy Microsoft 365 E5 licenses across DoWIN. • Automate the implementation plans. • Post quantum cryptography strategy. • Streamline the risk assessment and authorization processes for software-enabled products and services. • Standardize systems modeling language v2 use to support enterprise modeling. • Continuing with cyber scholarship program.
$19.124 million: • Continue base program initiatives in prior budget year. $7.500 million: • To accelerate Zero Trust (ZT) adoption and achieve target level ZT by the end of FY27, this effort will collaborate with Joint Warfighting Cloud Cabiliity (JWCC) cloud service providers and industry partners to develop and execute ZT pilot activities and proof-of-concept evaluations, including cloud prototypes $9.503 million: • Support returning DoD Cyber Service Academy (DoD CSA) recruitment scholars
Three years, and no five-year plan
An R-2A activity publishes the prior year, the current year and the budget year. The FYDP outyears exist at project and program-element level and are deliberately absent here rather than inferred. Estimate types are colored and never summed into one figure.
| Fiscal Year | Estimate Type | Amount ($M) |
|---|---|---|
| FY2025 | Actual | 29.8 |
| FY2026 | Enacted | 24.5 |
| FY2027 | Request | 35.2 |
This activity is 100% of project 140's FY2027 request and 100% of PE 0303140D8Z'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.
