This activity requests $24.4M in FY2027, 100% of project 674612 — a new start with no prior-year and no current-year money. The R-2A exhibit describes it across FY2026–FY2027, including what the FY2027 money is planned to buy.

New start

This activity requests $24.4M in FY2027 with no prior-year and no current-year funding. There is no incumbent line to compare it with — it did not exist before this President's Budget.

What the FY2027 request buys

Verbatim from the R-2A exhibit for project 674612 of PE 0305155F. 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

"Continue to incrementally fund the second task order for maturing the detailed specifications and design of the impacted vault subsystems. This effort encompasses adjudication of NSA encryption requirements. Additional detailed information is classified and can be provided at higher classification levels."

FY2026 to FY2027 change

Increase in funding due to WS3 VMP entering full design and development, characterizing the entire WS3 system.

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

FY2025/FY2026 funding in BPAC 655708. In FY2027 Program 0305155F, Nuclear Weapons Support, Transferred from Budget Activity 05 System Development & Demonstration Project 655708 to Budget Activity 7, Operational System Development Project 674612.

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 100% of project 674612's FY2027 request and 100% of PE 0305155F'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.
