What the FY2027 request buys
Verbatim from the R-2A exhibit for project 1398 of PE 0601153N. 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.
- Provide support to meteorological, limnology, and oceanographic research vessels, aircraft, manned and unmanned platforms and associated services (Such as winches, instrumentation, portable ship-borne scientific laboratory vans and data storage) especially those provided by the ARF to enable at-sea oceanographic science.
Funding increase from FY2026 to FY2027 is due to breaking out support of oceanographic research vessels, aircrafts, manned and unmanned platforms, and associated services for transparency.
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 | 0.0 |
| FY2027 | Request | 20.1 |
This activity is 17% of project 1398's FY2027 request and 3.8% of PE 0601153N'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.

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 project page.
