What the FY2027 request buys
Verbatim from the R-2A exhibit for project 675265 of PE 0305240F. 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.
- Will continue to upgrade VIP-C to enable better geo-coordinate accuracy, facilitate automated intelligence discovery, integrate new algorithms, and reduce processing latency. This includes developing and integrating ISR data into a Cloud storefront infrastructure enhancing user interface and facilitating accelerated system security acceptance. - Will continue to refine and scale foundational components and begin developing more advanced technologies (e.g. automated site monitoring, explainable AI/ML, and adversarial attack detection/mitigation).
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.

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 | 28.5 |
| FY2026 | Enacted | 27.9 |
| FY2027 | Request | 28.7 |
This activity is 100% of project 675265's FY2027 request and 9.2% of PE 0305240F'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.
