What the FY2027 request buys
Verbatim from the R-2A exhibit for project 630320 of PE 0603032F. 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.
- Continue and increase the rate of advancing the maturation of electromagnetic warfare methodologies. - Continue and increase the rate of advancing algorithm maturation and assessment supporting software integration. - Continue and increase the rate of advancing the assessment and evaluation efforts for subsystems, and algorithms to test the electronic warfare (EW) solution. - Continue and increase the rate of advancing integration of subsystems, algorithms, and electromagnetic warfare methodologies towards an EW solution. - Continue and increase the rate of advancing incremental systems test and capabilities assessments of integrated components. - Commence system of system integration into operational platforms. - Commence planning for flight test operations for various operational platforms.
FY 2027 funding increased compared to FY 2026 by $9.077 million due to commencing system of system integrations for operational platforms and planning for flight testing with various operational platforms. FY 2026 is the first year of full execution by the contractors. FY 2027 is the peak execution year for the continuing activities within this vanguard prospect.
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 | 14.5 |
| FY2026 | Enacted | 36.9 |
| FY2027 | Request | 45.9 |
This activity is 16% of project 630320's FY2027 request and 16% of PE 0603032F'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.
