What the FY2027 request buys
Verbatim from the R-2A exhibit for project A75 of PE 0603275A. 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.
Will optimizing predictive algorithms and using various sources of information to create a resilient and adaptive network configuration that allows continued and secure communications in Anti-Access/Area Denial (A2AD) environments. Validate microservices based framework by incorporating advanced Forward Error Correction technique as a microservice to provide reliable communications. Will leverage and disseminate RF sensing electronic support information for use by operational forces, to coordinate and enable continued communications through electronic and navigation warfare effects. will further refine understanding of algorithm performance, limitations, and computational requirements. Continue to enhance the PIN framework by leveraging an open and standardized architecture, enabling microservices to utilize a common application programming interface (API) and shared data seamlessly.
Funding increase reflects additional research in predictive algorithms.
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.
Will mature suitable solutions to enable Automated Primary, Alternate, Contingency, and Emergency (PACE) technologies with predictive algorithms in support of dynamic adaptations to changing environment; leverage prediction algorithms from various feeds (i.e. mobility prediction, cyber threat detection, near real-time radio frequency (RF)/EW sensing) and provide most appropriate course of action (CoA) recommendations; implement effects through existing Automated PACE technologies to ensure resilient network connectivity and uninterrupted mission; provide a microservices based framework with a modular approach to allow for autonomous dynamic configuration of network and communications components; leverage predictive analytics of historical and Electronic Support (ES) information to allow for the network to proactively reconfigure; demonstrate predictive modules as subcomponents for various modalities (mobility, RF spectrum, cyber, etc.) in a hardware-in-the-loop laboratory environment and field exercises.
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) |
|---|---|---|
| FY2026 | Enacted | 9.7 |
| FY2027 | Request | 10.3 |
This activity is 100% of project A75's FY2027 request and 6.6% of PE 0603275A'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.
