## Summary

This activity requests $10.2M in FY2027, 97% of project 4020, down 28% 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

**FY2027 planned work.** FY27 continues airframe fatigue testing and analysis and initiates reliability, availability, maintainability, and performance improvement efforts for other aircraft components including, but not limited to, the engine and avionics systems.

**FY2026 to FY2027 change.** FY27 decrease is due to contractor support service reductions and a reduction for higher priorities.

## Before the request year

**FY2026 plans — current year.** FY26 continues airframe fatigue testing and analysis and initiates reliability, availability, maintainability, and performance improvement efforts for other aircraft components including, but not limited to, the engine and avionics systems.
