The R-2A exhibit — the only level of the budget that describes work that has not happened yet. Activities carry the prior, current and budget year only, no five-year plan. Coverage is partial across the corpus, so count activities, never total them.
FY2027 planned work - Will continue to modernize SIGINT systems used by the MQ-9A and other platforms. Additional details are classified.
FY2026 to FY2027 change Funding decreased due to a database error. $2.882M will be realigned from COMPASS BRIGHT [675185] for a total of $8.664M. Once corrected, funding increased due to inflation.
FY2026 plans — current year - Continue to modernize SIGINT systems used by the MQ-9A and other platforms. Additional details are classified.
