What the FY2027 request buys
Verbatim from the R-2A exhibit for project 2966 of PE 0603673N. 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.
Continue the Full Spectrum Undersea Warfare INP by working the following tasks: - Advanced Technology Development associated with the Multi-Vehicle Torpedo Tube Deployment System (MVTTDS) prototype for Virginia Class submarines, which includes Revolver and Reloader including at sea (on a submarine) Revolver prototype testing and model validation - Continue build of GEN 2 Revolver - Continue Testing of GEN 1 Revolver with UAV and decoy devices Complete advanced development of components and system for at sea operations, including resiliency and reliability of 3 inch Submarine Launched effects buoy. Initiate, using MVTTDS, at sea testing of 6 inch Submarine Launched effects buoy.
The decrease in funding from FY 2026 to FY 2027 is due to re-aligning funds in FY 2026 to best phase the funds with the scope of advanced technology development in FY 2026 for this INP.
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 | 0.0 |
| FY2026 | Enacted | 22.4 |
| FY2027 | Request | 16.8 |
This activity is 12% of project 2966's FY2027 request and 3.8% of PE 0603673N'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.

Every R-2A line of this project, largest FY2027 request first. Linked where the activity has enough of its own narrative to carry a page; the rest are shown in full on the project page.
