## Summary

This activity requests $14.7M in FY2027, 45% of project A73, up 17% 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.** Will mature data, electronics, and on-platform architecture to enable rapidly deployable, scalable and adaptable Electronic Warfare (EW) capabilities; leverage commercial technologies and collaborative partnerships to accelerate capability demonstration and the delivery of integrated EW solutions. Integrate and demonstrate EW payloads, and next gen command and control components and payloads within the on-platform data architecture. Advance on-platform sensor fusion to enable efficient sensing, collection orchestration, and intelligence analytics to provide integrated emerging EW capabilities; exploits electromagnetic signatures to develop solutions that mitigate the effects.

**FY2026 to FY2027 change.** Funding increase to purchase emerging technology and payloads as well as to support iterative integration and demonstration.

## Before the request year

**FY2026 plans — current year.** Will develop data, electronics, and power on-platform architectures and components to enable rapidly deployable, scalable and adaptable Electronic Warfare (EW) capabilities; mature key on-platform sensor fusion to enable efficient sensing, collection orchestration, and intelligence analytics to provide integrated emerging EW capabilities; leverage commercial technologies and collaborative partnerships to rapidly integrate emerging capabilities and optimize solutions for the military environment.

## Funding

| Fiscal Year | Estimate Type | Amount ($M) |
|---|---|---|
| FY2026 | Enacted | 12.5 |
| FY2027 | Request | 14.7 |

> 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.
