HitchAI read

This activity requests $11.0M in FY2027, 12% of project EN3 — 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 $11.0M 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 EN3 of PE 0603384BP. 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

Design and execute advanced technology development and experiments with USINDOPACOM and CBRND units and other applicable stakeholders to refine subsystem development, to include integrated early warning capabilities, and integrate CBRND experimentation into Combatant Command field exercises. Experimentation efforts funded by this program in FY27 will primarily support materiel capability development required for biological deterrence.

FY2026 to FY2027 change

Increased investment focuses and expands existing experimentation and technology development efforts focused on biological deterrence.

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 12% of project EN3's FY2027 request and 3.5% of PE 0603384BP'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.
