HitchAI read

This activity requests $81.0M in FY2027, 100% of project 308 — 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.

New start

This activity requests $81.0M in FY2027 with no prior-year and no current-year funding. There is no incumbent line to compare it with — it did not exist before this President's Budget.

What the FY2027 request buys

Verbatim from the R-2A exhibit for project 308 of PE 0603142D8Z. 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

WARPATH will be distributed through Applied Technology Hubs to enable nationwide access for industry innovation, experimentation, and defensible business-case analysis in support of MEIA. In FY 2027 this includes: • Develop and test the initial data federation services and API-driven architecture for multi-cloud service providers. • Instantiate a minimal viable product (MVP) of a cloud-based digital environment with access to data and tools. • Integrate with and leverage the Strategic Capabilities Office (SCO) Cloud Enabled Transport Architecture (CETA). • Procure and install software into platform to enable users to test and execute for MEIA. • Distribute accounts to Government and industry partners for MEIA purposes.

FY2026 to FY2027 change

Increase in RDT&E, DW for $81.000M for Warfighter Analysis & Rapid Prototyping through Applied Technology Hubs.

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 100% of project 308's FY2027 request and 56% of PE 0603142D8Z'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.
