What the FY2027 request buys
Verbatim from the R-2A exhibit for project 675029 of PE 0304100F. 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.
Continuing activities will include, but are not limited to the following: - Begin build out of MVCR FY27 capability to support new data system architecture - Continue implementation of Zero Trust - Continue to enhance automated deployments to enable continuous delivery to sites with minimal system administrator personnel - Implement automated training capabilities within the system - Enhance evolving cybersecurity and continue the recurring lifecycle procurement and tech refreshes of commercial based hardware and software components - Support Special Access Program (SAP) Mission Planning and Distribution System (SMPDS) software and hardware requirements to fully enable SAP weapon system planning, analyzation, and integration procedures for Operational Planning - Accelerate nuclear modernization and leverage innovative technologies to improve cybersecurity posture against evolving threats - Accelerate development of new capabilities to support conventional nuclear integration - Incorporate artificial intelligence capabilities into system health and status monitoring, cybersecurity defense monitoring, exercise scenario generation, and other user defined use cases
The FY27 increase will be used to accelerate modernization in order to improve cybersecurity posture against evolving threats, accelerate development of new capabilities to support conventional-nuclear integration, and incorporate artificial intelligence capabilities into system health and status monitoring, cybersecurity defense monitoring, exercise scenario generation, and user training.
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.
Continuing activities will include, but are not limited to the following: - Build out MVCR FY26 capability to incorporate additional weapon types - Continue implementation of Zero Trust in preparation for the FY2027 deadline - Continue to enhance automated deployments in order to enable continuous delivery to sites with minimal system administrator personnel - Implement automated training capabilities within the system - Enhance evolving cybersecurity and continue the recurring lifecycle procurement and tech refreshes of commercial based hardware and software components - Support Special Access Program (SAP) Mission Planning and Distribution System (SMPDS) software and hardware requirements to fully enable SAP weapon system planning, analyzation, and integration procedures for Operational Planning
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 | 55.8 |
| FY2026 | Enacted | 62.6 |
| FY2027 | Request | 77.9 |
This activity is 100% of project 675029's FY2027 request and 87% of PE 0304100F'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.
