What the FY2027 request buys
Verbatim from the R-2A exhibit for project 1050 of PE 0603680N. 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.
- Complete electronics / electro-optics projects in support of key platforms in technology areas such as focal plane array photonics, inspection technologies, sensor manufacturing, and sonar transformer manufacturing. - Continue to develop and transition electronics and electro-optics manufacturing technology improvements that result in expanded through-put, affordability, and enhanced capability primarily for PEO IWS systems and additional key platforms: VCS/CLB, DDG 51, CVN 78, and F-35. - Continue electronics / electro-optics projects in support of key platforms in technology areas such as undersea ceramics. - Initiate electronics / electro-optics projects in support of key platforms in technology areas such as cryocooler manufacturing, acoustic sensors, assembly automation, wafer processing, and corrosion protection.
There is no significant funding change between FY2026 and FY2027.
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 | 12.0 |
| FY2026 | Enacted | 16.1 |
| FY2027 | Request | 16.2 |
This activity is 20% of project 1050's FY2027 request and 20% of PE 0603680N'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.
4 activities in project 1050
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.
