HitchAI read

This activity requests $60.0M in FY2027, 67% 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 $60.0M 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

- Significantly scale the on premise and cloud compute capacity across different classification levels. - Work across interagency to create unified, AI-ready, and scalable data architecture and ecosystem. Ingest government, public, and private datasets into an High Performance Computing (HPC) environment. - Develop advanced AI tools and agents to accelerate innovative CBRND capabilities.

FY2026 to FY2027 change

FY 2027 increased resources design and build out of computing resources for CBRND Biosurveillance and Deterrence missions, implementation of architecture and integration of relevant interagency data, and multiple experimentation and prototyping activities, utilizing industry and CBDP Science & Technology developed AI and Machine Learning (ML) capabilities.

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 67% of project EN3's FY2027 request and 19% 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.
