## Summary

This activity requests $37.6M in FY2027, 100% of project 9B88, up 88% 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.** 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 identify potential material solutions and (3) execution of Budget Execution-year Technology Selections (BETS) Boards to enable Navy Leadership to make quick, informed decisions on rapidly deployable capability solutions. Efforts include but are not limited to problem definition, analysis, prioritization tool development, industry engagement products, material solution option evaluation, and other specialized products to enable leadership decision and tracking of viable rapid solutions to urgent operational needs.

**FY2026 to FY2027 change.** FY 2026 to FY 2027 increase of $17.59M supports the ramp up of efforts to include more powerful decision-making tools for Navy Leadership's analysis of viable material solutions, increasing the rigor of identifying capabilities to fill operational gaps and deploy to the warfighter with speed. Further, the use of this funding increases magnitude of modernization training through virtual twin edge analytics centered on a common digital warfighting platform with enterprise sandbox technologies.
