> **NEW START.** $14.6M requested in FY2027 with no prior-year and no current-year funding.

## Summary

This activity requests $14.6M in FY2027, 30% of project BC9 — a new start with no prior-year and no current-year money. The R-2A exhibit describes it across FY2027, including what the FY2027 money is planned to buy.

## What the FY2027 request buys

**FY2027 planned work.** Extreme Batteries Technology: Will integrate and demonstrate low temperature / high-capacity Group 3 UAS batteries into a UAS platform TRV150 for demonstration at a relevant operational environment during Arctic Edge 27 to increase operational capacity at extreme cold weather by at least 50%. Will develop and demonstrate high temperature high humidity batteries for soldier applications in a lab environment. Advanced Small Unit Tactical Power: Will demonstrate rechargeable safe, high-energy density batteries that operate in extreme temperature environments to provide power for the Soldier's mission command, communication, and small Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS); demonstrate Soldier and Squad power generators to enable expeditionary recharging of batteries during extended dismounted operations; conduct operational user assessments to evaluate Small Unit power systems in the field with Soldiers.

**FY2026 to FY2027 change.** Funding increase reflects investments to focus on developing high-density, lightweight, and durable batteries that perform in diverse environments. Funding increase supports of strategic priorities in providing small unit power solutions.

## Funding

| Fiscal Year | Estimate Type | Amount ($M) |
|---|---|---|
| FY2027 | Request | 14.6 |

> Prior, current and budget year only — an R-2A activity carries no five-year plan. It sums exactly into its project in the request year and not necessarily in any other.
