## Summary

This activity requests $25.6M in FY2027, 32% of project 1502, down 34% on FY2026. The R-2A exhibit describes it across FY2026–FY2027, including what the FY2027 money is planned to buy.

## What the FY2027 request buys

**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.
