What the FY2027 request buys

Verbatim from the R-2A exhibit for project 1502 of PE 0602750N. 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.

FY2027 planned work

Continue development of Information Warfare applied research efforts by: - Scaling models and algorithms for integrated prototypes. - Details at a higher classification.

FY2026 to FY2027 change

The funding decrease from FY 2026 to FY 2027 is due to the maturation of the applied research in this program element (PE) and project, and the associated migration of efforts and a planned increase in the advanced technology development investment in PE 0603673N, Project 2966.

Before the request year

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.

Money

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.

This activity is 32% of project 1502's FY2027 request and 8.4% of PE 0602750N'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.
