What the FY2027 request buys
Verbatim from the R-2A exhibit for project 2950 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.
Initiate: - Deliver new Science and Technology (S&T) prototypes to solve problems expressed directly by warfighters during Fleet/Force interactions. TechSolutions will develop, demonstrate, and deliver prototypes throughout the year as warfighter requests are received. It is estimated that in FY 2027 TechSolutions will be able to develop around 10 new prototype solutions to address warfighter needs. - Developments that are initiated to deliver rapid response solutions so warfighters can achieve mission success and perform their duties more effectively and more efficiently by leveraging technological advancements.
Funding increase from FY 2026 to FY 2027 is due to funding realignment from Proj 2918 to Proj 2950 within the same Program Element.
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 | 0.0 |
| FY2027 | Request | 11.1 |
This activity is 29% of project 2950's FY2027 request and 17% 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.
