What the FY2027 request buys
Verbatim from the R-2A exhibit for project 665 of PE 0603662D8Z. 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.
Assured Presidential positive control of our forces at speed and scale against modern threats by injecting new technologies with asymmetric concepts of operations to outpace U.S. adversaries. − Rapidly assess a broad range of warfighting options − Drive technologies that prove effective in missions against modern threats − Inject innovations from industry, academia, start-ups, and non-profits
The increase of $696 millions between FY 2026 to FY 2027 is due to a realignment of funds from project 663 Networked Communication Analysis to support presidential and departmental priorities.
Three years, and no five-year plan
An R-2A activity publishes the prior year, the current year and the budget year. The FYDP outyears exist at project and program-element level and are deliberately absent here rather than inferred. Estimate types are colored and never summed into one figure.
| Fiscal Year | Estimate Type | Amount ($M) |
|---|---|---|
| FY2025 | Actual | 0.0 |
| FY2027 | Request | 696.3 |
This activity is 100% of project 665's FY2027 request and 100% of PE 0603662D8Z'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.
