What the FY2027 request buys
Verbatim from the R-2A exhibit for project DS7 of PE 0603461A. 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 continue to leverage current and emerging technologies to identify and improve modeling and simulation gaps across the DoW acquisition and mission engineering community and mature and demonstrate relevant software applications for high-end computers across all classification levels to be used by over 180 DoW stakeholder organizations across government, industry, and academia in support of air, land, and sea programs of record as well as future concept development for the DoW's highest priorities. Will continue to mature and demonstrate software tools and environments on high-end computers in support of critical technology areas and provide training to over 3000 users to improve resource effectiveness and impact. Will leverage high-end computing experts in the acquisition and mission engineering community to significantly impact weapon system research, development, test, and evaluation and digital engineering efforts across the DoW.
Funding decrease reduces High Performance Computing Modernization Program enterprise level software provided to stakeholders.
FY2025–FY2026: what came before
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.
Continuing to develop and improve modeling and simulation applications employed across the DoW acquisition community and mature and demonstrate relevant software applications for high-end computers to be used by over 180 DoW stakeholder organizations across government, industry, and academia in support of air, land, and sea programs of record as well as future concept development for the DoW's highest priorities. Continuing to mature and demonstrate software tools and environments on high-end computers in support of critical technology areas and provide training to over 3000 users to improve resource effectiveness and impact. Leveraging high-end computing experts in the acquisition community to significantly impact acquisition and digital engineering efforts across the DoW.
Continue to mature and demonstrate 12 software applications for high-end computers to be used by over 150 DoD stakeholder organizations in air, land, and sea programs of record (PORs) as well as future concept development for DoD's highest priorities. Continue to mature and demonstrate software tools and environments for high-end computers and provide training to over 3000 users to improve resource effectiveness and impact. Continue to mature software applications for the operation of DSRC high-end computers in support of over 2000 users and staff. Demonstrated new HPC tools for acquisition engineering.
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 | 39.9 |
| FY2026 | Enacted | 53.1 |
| FY2027 | Request | 43.9 |
This activity is 20% of project DS7's FY2027 request and 20% of PE 0603461A'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.
3 activities in project DS7
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 program-element page.
