What the FY2027 request buys
Verbatim from the R-2A exhibit for project AF2 of PE 0603464A. 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 conduct a comprehensive baseline computational analysis to quantify the lethality of existing warhead designs and to refine and compare with a warhead using a CL-20 based energetic formulation; mature design and begin development of novel warhead technologies and components.
Funding increase reflects initiation of this effort. Funding will initiate a comprehensive baseline computational analysis to quantify the lethality of existing warhead designs and to refine and compare with a warhead using a CL-20 based energetic formulation.
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 | 24.6 |
This activity is 39% of project AF2's FY2027 request and 5.8% of PE 0603464A'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.
