What the FY2027 request buys
Verbatim from the R-2A exhibit for project 3220 of PE 0603595N. 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.
Specific planned construction efforts for FY 2027 include: - Continued fabrication of Missile Tubes and Strategic Weapons Support System (SWSS) kits. - Continued Lead Ship Construction, which includes manufacture of the MTM for lead ship, and integration and test of SWSS systems and Final Operating Capability (FOC) for the land-based test facility. Whole Ship Study and Design: This funding applies to the shipbuilder design, systems engineering, prototyping, and vendor qualification activities needed to execute the schedule for whole ship design and component/technology development for the COLUMBIA submarine, and associated engineering/management efforts. - Complete Maintenance Integrated Logistics Products. - Complete Provisioning Integrated Logistics Products. - Complete Logistics Technical Documentation Products. - Continue specific planned construction efforts from FY 2025 including construction execution on all Super Modules (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6).
Increase due to updated estimate for Component Development efforts and First Article Quad Pack requirements. The increase to Prj 3220 BSO 24 includes growth and MTM performance growth.
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.

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 | 37.0 |
| FY2026 | Enacted | 138.7 |
| FY2027 | Request | 179.6 |
This activity is 70% of project 3220's FY2027 request and 54% of PE 0603595N'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.
