What the FY2027 request buys
Verbatim from the R-2A exhibit for project 2989 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.
- Complete Barracuda Development. - Complete providing test and engineering support to the Government for Developmental and Live Fire Testing. - Provide technical support for Engineering Change Proposals and Milestone C Documentation.
FY 2026 to FY 2027 increase corresponds with the expansion of Mine Countermeasures (MCM) capabilities.
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.
Barracuda - Complete contractor performance testing for initial verification of system performance requirements. - Complete and deliver test reports for contractor system qualification and performance testing. - Begin providing test and engineering deliverables to the Government for Developmental and Live Fire Testing. Angler - Procure engineering development models.
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 | 10.3 |
| FY2026 | Enacted | 9.9 |
| FY2027 | Request | 10.5 |
This activity is 65% of project 2989's FY2027 request and 32% 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.
