What the FY2027 request buys
Verbatim from the R-2A exhibit for project 1234 of PE 0603502N. 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.
- Continue Mine neutralization Payload Delivery System (PDS) design and integration with the MCM USV - ECP development and implementation of system upgrades following Fleet feedback - Finalize integration of AN/AQS-24 with MCM USV - Cybersecurity improvements to address discrepancies against program requirements
Decrease due to reduction in contractor support savings
FY2026: the year under way
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.
- Mast improvements to enable additional equipment for system upgrades to be mounted on mast - Integration of M-Code GPS - Mine neutralization Payload Delivery System (PDS)design and integration with the MCM USV - Mine neutralization PDS EDM prototype build - ECP development and implementation of system upgrades following Fleet feedback.
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 | 8.4 |
| FY2026 | Enacted | 15.5 |
| FY2027 | Request | 14.4 |
This activity is 88% of project 1234's FY2027 request and 44% of PE 0603502N'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.
