## Summary

This activity requests $16.8M in FY2027, 88% of project 2471, down 2.8% on FY2026. The R-2A exhibit describes it across FY2026–FY2027, including what the FY2027 money is planned to buy.

## What the FY2027 request buys

**FY2027 planned work.** Energy Magazine (EM): Complete manufacturing and system integration of the Energy Magazine Baseline First Article. Complete formal Test Readiness Review and begin First Article Testing of the Energy Magazine Baseline First Article, complete characterization for Lithium Ion (Li) Batteries in accordance with NAVSEA manual S9310-AQ-SAF-010 (TECHNICAL MANUAL FOR BATTERIES, NAVY LITHIUM SAFETY PROGRAM RESPONSIBILITIES AND PROCEDURES). Complete final update EM models and conduct component and system simulations that focus on EM software development and EM performance. Begin planning and test procedures for Energy Magazine Baseline First Article Environmental Qualification Testing (including shock, vibration, Electromagnetic Interference, etc.). Begin planning and test procedures for Input Section Variant 1(440VAC) and Input Section Variant 2(13.8KVAC) Standalone and System Testing. Continue to support PEO IWS, Office of the Chief of Naval Operations, and Office of Naval Research laser testing and planning activities. Continue to support Large Surface Combatant Energy Storage project to transition lessons learned to Energy Magazine and BBG(X). Evaluate and, as applicable, continue to incorporate lessons learned from performance of the EM prototype in EM and EM technical deliverables. Naval Power Technology Development / Platform Integration & Transition: Continue to support maturation and transition of Power & Energy System developments that are aligned with the Navy's 30-year shipbuilding plan and the Chief of Naval Operations Surface Capability Evolution Plan via the Naval Power and Energy Systems Technology Development Roadmap (TDR), which outlines the way ahead for future developments and provides a basis for coordinated planning and investment by the Navy and private industry.

**FY2026 to FY2027 change.** FY 2026 to FY 2027 decreased in the amount of $0.478M is due to the completion of manufacturing and system integration of the Energy Magazine Baseline First Article.

## Before the request year

**FY2026 plans — current year.** Energy Magazine (EM): Begin manufacturing and system integration and testing, begin safety testing of Lithium Ion (Li) Batteries. Continue to update EM models based on system integration and testing and conduct component and system simulations that focus on EM software development and EM performance. Complete detailed interface requirements, test plans and procedures for use in virtual environment demonstration(s) and independent government testing to confirm performance requirements. Continue to support PEO IWS, Office of the Chief of Naval Operations, and Office of Naval Research laser testing and planning activities. Continue to support Large Surface Combatant Energy Storage project to transition lessons learned to EM and BBG(X). Evaluate and, as applicable, and continue to incorporate lessons learned from performance of the EM prototype in EM and EM technical deliverables. Naval Power Technology Development / Platform Integration & Transition: Continue to support maturation and transition of Power & Energy System developments that are aligned with the Navy's 30-year shipbuilding plan and the Chief of Naval Operations Surface Capability Evolution Plan via the Naval Power and Energy Systems Technology Development Roadmap (TDR), which outlines the way ahead for future developments and provides a basis for coordinated planning and investment by the Navy and private industry.
