What project 3174 buys
Rapid Development and Deployment (RDD) efforts directly support the Department of the Navy Rapid Capabilities Office (DONRCO) mission of developing and scaling rapid near-term capability solutions from mature technologies. To the furthest extent available, the DONRCO leverages commercially available solutions with proven high Technical Readiness Levels (TRLs) to accelerate development and fielding of critical capabilities to our warfighters. Project funding continues support of the DONRCO's Budget Execution-year Technology Selection (BETS) process in the identification and selection of capability solutions and scaling decisions, which are vetted and approved by Senior Navy Leadership on behalf of the Secretary of the Navy (SECNAV) and other senior joint stakeholders to include Senior Fleet and Combatant Commanders. Following Prototyping BETS approval, capability development occurs in coordination with Fleet users to ensure operational relevancy. After rapid prototyping design, development, and testing, a Scaling BET provides the approval and funding to proceed to the scaling phase of production, which is executed in coordination with the Portfolio Acquisition Executives (PAEs) and Direct Report Program Managers (DRPMs) who assume the capabilities as they transition to Programs of Record (PoR). The BETS process enables the DONRCO to rapidly deliver agile solutions to the Fleet's urgent operational gaps, enabling the warfighter with rapid capabilities to respond to emerging threats. Post BETS Board decisions, the Navy's investment plans are memorialized through SECNAV memorandum to all involved stakeholders and can be made available upon request for review.

Project 3174 funding, FY2025–FY2031
Prior years are actuals, the budget year is the request, and the outyears are the FYDP plan. Estimate types are colored and never summed into one figure. Projects carry the full five-year plan; the activities inside them stop at the budget year.
| Fiscal Year | Estimate Type | Amount ($M) |
|---|---|---|
| FY2025 | Actual | 0.0 |
| FY2026 | Enacted | 0.0 |
| FY2027 | Request | 50.0 |
| FY2028 | Outyear | 51.1 |
| FY2029 | Outyear | 50.0 |
| FY2030 | Outyear | 75.0 |
| FY2031 | Outyear | 75.0 |

The R-2A exhibit — the only level of the budget that describes work that has not happened yet. Activities carry the prior, current and budget year only, no five-year plan. Each describes FY2027 work in enough detail to have its own page; the rest are shown here in full. Coverage is partial across the corpus, so count activities, never total them.
FY 2027 funding supports execution of multiple (3-5) Scaling efforts through the BETS proposal process. After material solutions are identified to address operational gaps through the Prototyping BETS (via US Government, traditional, and non-traditional industry capabilities), and those solution prototypes are tested and validated to…

Performers named in the R-3 exhibit under this project. Share is of the project's whole FY2027 R-3 total — the same denominator the program-element split uses, so the two read on one scale and will not sum to 100% when unnamed or government work is in the mix. Budget-justification contract funding, not obligations.
