What the FY2027 request buys
Verbatim from the R-2A exhibit for project 2918 of PE 0603758N. 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 efforts in the area supporting Naval Precision Strike Operations, providing the Navy capability to quickly locate, target, and strike critical targets. Ongoing efforts include conducting kill-chain studies to identify and recommend engineering trades to enable weapon system interoperability and data fusion alternatives. These studies assess engineering feasibility of various kill-chain options and test and assess advanced weapon system capabilities.
There is no significant funding change from FY 2026 to FY 2027.
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 | 11.2 |
| FY2026 | Enacted | 13.4 |
| FY2027 | Request | 13.2 |
This activity is 48% of project 2918's FY2027 request and 20% of PE 0603758N'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.
