What the FY2027 request buys
Verbatim from the R-2A exhibit for project A77 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.
This effort will mature and demonstrate hardware (based on prior modeling and simulation) utilizing matured quantum architectures for Radio Frequency (RF) applications, optimizing distributed aperture technologies for MFRF applications in Army missions while leveraging performance metrics to support continued system optimization.
Funding increase reflects realignment and consolidation from Program Element 0603463A (Network C3I Advanced Technology) / Project CJ8 (Assured PNT Communications Advanced Tech, tasks Quantum Sensing and Multi-function RF Applications Research) and to accelerate the delivery of a transportable distributed aperture system.
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) |
|---|---|---|
| FY2027 | Request | 11.6 |
This activity is 14% of project A77's FY2027 request and 7.4% 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.

Every R-2A line of this project, largest FY2027 request first. Linked where the activity has enough of its own narrative to carry a page; the rest are shown in full on the project page.
