## Summary

This activity requests $16.2M in FY2027, 20% of project 1050, up 0.8% 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.** - 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.

**FY2026 to FY2027 change.** There is no significant funding change between FY2026 and FY2027.

## Before the request year

**FY2026 plans — current year.** - Complete electronics / electro-optics projects in support of key platforms in technology areas such as focal plane array photonics, inspection technologies, advanced ceramics, electronic connectors, 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 for key platforms: VCS/CLB, DDG 51, CVN 78, F-35, and PEO IWS systems. - Continue electronics / electro-optics projects in support of key platforms in technology areas such as focal plane array photonics, undersea ceramics, and inspection technologies. - Initiate electronics / electro-optics projects in support of key platforms in technology areas such as inspection technologies, electronic assembly automation, and sensor manufacturing.
