What project 9B88 buys
Automated Test and ReTest (ATRT) Enterprise Rapid Capability develops, integrates, and deploys novel capabilities aggregated from mature technologies in support of Distributed Maritime Operations. ATRT technologies provide essential development, assessment, and operational analysis capabilities to streamline testing and certification for both single systems and systems of systems capabilities in order to reduce development time for new capabilities from years to weeks. Further, ATRT leverages support to refactoring, development, and assessment of Artificial Intelligence / Machine Learning (AI/ML) aids with other applications to deliver warfighting capability. The integration of legacy code and systems across the Naval warfighting portfolio aims to achieve an open integration and interoperability environment. These capabilities are enabled through the use of virtualized systems of systems, automated test and analysis, automated certification, rapid interface development, and field with data collection and edge analytics. These technologies are at the heart of the Navy's rapid capability approach, which combines digital engineering tools with evolutionary approaches to requirements generation, operational testing, and deployment. Project funding supports application of Automated Test and Analysis (ATA) technologies to software-intensive acquisition programs through continued development and commercialization of ATRT Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) technologies across the Navy enterprise. These SBIR derived technologies enable the Navy enterprise to make rapid capability improvements through software updates while maintaining a continuous Authority to Operate (ATO) on a common digital warfighting platform, and in enterprise sandbox technologies.

Project 9B88 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 | 20.0 |
| FY2027 | Request | 37.6 |
| FY2028 | Outyear | 39.8 |
| FY2029 | Outyear | 41.5 |
| FY2030 | Outyear | 43.4 |
| FY2031 | Outyear | 44.2 |
1 accomplishment / planned program
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 is utilized to ramp up execution of crucial Department of the Navy Rapid Capabilities Office (DONRCO) functions necessary for (1) identification of hard problems and capability gaps through coordination and communication with Combatant Commander and Fleet (2) stakeholder engagement to include Warfighter and Industry 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.
