What the FY2027 request buys
Verbatim from the R-2A exhibit for project 0304 of PE 0603382N. 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.
Funds experimentation, demonstration and prototyping of technologies across warfighting domains. -Support prototyping and experimentation of modular, containerized capabilities to evaluate effectiveness in support of multiple missions -Accelerate the ability to expand undersea and surface communications networks as required for future warfighting operations (more details available at higher classification) -Kill chain experimentation of automated shipboard weapons -Perform system evaluation and experimentation to enhance Sub-Surface Warfare (SSW)/Mine Counter-Measures (MCM) capabilities (more details at higher classification) -Demonstration and experimentation of C-C5ISRT capabilities in order to transition into Program of Record fielding and sustainment (more details at higher classification)
Funds increase resources to close critical capability gaps with projects that are aligned with INDSG, CNOG and Fleet priorities that have received USN endorsement based on a rigorous vetting process.
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) |
|---|---|---|
| FY2025 | Actual | 0.0 |
| FY2026 | Enacted | 0.0 |
| FY2027 | Request | 25.4 |
This activity is 100% of project 0304's FY2027 request and 79% of PE 0603382N'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.
