This activity requests $25.6M in FY2027, 22% of project 675200, up 12% on FY2026. The R-2A exhibit describes it across FY2026–FY2027, including what the FY2027 money is planned to buy.

What the FY2027 request buys

Verbatim from the R-2A exhibit for project 675200 of PE 0303140F. 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

- Will continue development on the RRK-NG program and the implementation of the NSA mandated Security Evaluation Requirements Document (SERD 2.0) update. - Will complete Preliminary Design Review (PDR). - Will deliver Production Representative Engineering Design Models (PREDMS). - Will conduct Test Readiness Review (TRR).

FY2026 to FY2027 change

Funding increase due to program performing integration and testing activities in preparation for completion of development phase.

Before the request year

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.

FY2026 plans — current year

- Continue development on the RRK-NG program, beginning the implementation of the NSA mandated Security Evaluation Requirements Document (SERD 2.0) update. - Complete Systems Requirement Review (SRR). - Complete Critical Design Review (CDR).

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 22% of project 675200's FY2027 request and 22% of PE 0303140F'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.
