What the FY2027 request buys
Verbatim from the R-2A exhibit for project 2227 of PE 0304785N. 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 the development and integration of Counter-Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Cyber, Intelligence, Surveillance, Reconnaissance, and Targeting (C-C5ISRT) capabilities for the Fleet. - Continue the enhancement and expansion of the Knowledge Base (KB) to support new Joint and maritime data sets such as MARS for the Fleet. - Continue software integration and improvements resulting in Iterative Releases (IRs) that are ready for testing/fielding. - Commence modernization of targeting hardware. - Commence optimization of DevSecOps processes and environments to increase the rate of release for the fielding of IRs by using the Enterprise infrastructure. - Commence the design and development of mission modules based systems for accelerated deployment. - Commence deployment of DCGS-N Ashore System (DAS) across Maritime Operations Centers (MOCs) and training sites.
Increase of $11.515M from FY 2026 to FY 2027 will enhance software integration and improvements for the DCGS-N program.
FY2026: the year under way
Prior-year accomplishments and current-year plans from the same exhibit. Context for the FY2027 plan, not a series — an activity partitions its project exactly in the request year, but can under-cover it in earlier years.
- Continue the development and integration of Counter-Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Cyber, Intelligence, Surveillance, Reconnaissance, and Targeting (C-C5ISRT) capabilities for the Fleet. - Continue the enhancement and expansion of the Knowledge Base (KB) to support new Joint and maritime data sets such as MARS for the Fleet. - Continue the development and integration of Minotaur capabilities for the Fleet. - Continue software integration and improvements resulting in Iterative Releases (IRs) that are ready for testing/fielding.
Three years, and no five-year plan
An R-2A activity publishes the prior year, the current year and the budget year. The FYDP outyears exist at project and program-element level and are deliberately absent here rather than inferred. Estimate types are colored and never summed into one figure.
| Fiscal Year | Estimate Type | Amount ($M) |
|---|---|---|
| FY2025 | Actual | 29.5 |
| FY2026 | Enacted | 1.7 |
| FY2027 | Request | 13.2 |
This activity is 63% of project 2227's FY2027 request and 4.8% of PE 0304785N'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.
