What the FY2027 request buys
Verbatim from the R-2A exhibit for project 675307 of PE 0305249F. 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.
Development of the ICAM solution with a focus on adding authorization drivers for denied, disrupted, intermittent, and limited impact environment and special access program networks, drivers for JADE (another authA capability), advancing the resolution service, performance tuning, outstanding feature requests taken from the product backlog, etc. Work to add observability to the distribution so organizations and the devsecops team can see what is happening and can perform forensic analysis. Also working to determine how to leverage authentication and authorization time series data to provide insight and support for behavioral authentication and authorization decisions. This will include the addition of a machine-learning framework to provide inference into authA and authZ decision effectiveness. Installation and configuration of the ICAM suite across DAF Cloudworks (Cw) NIPR, SIPR and JWICS environments plus operational enablement of the DAF Cw team. Building out the automated installation and configuration scripts (ansible, terraform, etc). Building out broader support for new version releases, patch development and application, etc. Building out enablement materials, working with development teams to show them how to integrate ICAM capability into their mission solutions.
The increase reason is CUI.
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 | 0.0 |
| FY2026 | Enacted | 11.5 |
| FY2027 | Request | 17.2 |
This activity is 89% of project 675307's FY2027 request and 89% of PE 0305249F'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.
3 activities in project 675307
Every R-2A line of this project, largest FY2027 request first. Linked where the activity has enough of its own narrative to carry a page; the rest are shown in full on the program-element page.
