What the FY2027 request buys
Verbatim from the R-2A exhibit for project WP-02 of PE 0602024E. 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.
- Assess mechanisms to achieve localization of a bleed in animal models. - Develop systems capable of autonomous identification and navigation in desired form factors. - Demonstrate successful navigation of a sensor suite and end effector to key anatomical regions in animal models. - Demonstrate performance of context-aware bleed localization technologies that will enable end effector placement for NCTH control.
The FY 2027 increase reflects efforts to develop demonstrator devices for end of phase demonstrations.
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.
- Initiate experiments to anatomically identify the location of a bleed in simulated physical models and animal models. - Evaluate sensor suites capable of autonomous identification of a bleed location in compact form factors. - Begin development of a computational model to guide automated identification and navigation to bleed in a simulated environment.
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) |
|---|---|---|
| FY2026 | Enacted | 9.2 |
| FY2027 | Request | 14.0 |
This activity is 7.4% of project WP-02's FY2027 request and 3.8% of PE 0602024E'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.
