What the FY2027 request buys
Verbatim from the R-2A exhibit for project 641024 of PE 0603851F. 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 Advanced C2 Capabilities research to design and develop an enhanced and reliable communication system. •Finalize end-to-end crypto effort to conduct a variety of cost-benefit studies for future system upgrades and modifications.
Increase in FY2027 to address ramping of development activities for Advanced C2 Capabilities' requirement priority
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.
•Research advanced C2 capabilities to design and develop an enhanced and reliable communication system. •Conduct end-to-end crypto effort for a variety of cost-benefit studies for future system upgrades and modifications. •Respond to evolving warfighter priorities and emerging requirements in support of developing ICBM weapon system capability.
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 | 4.8 |
| FY2026 | Enacted | 10.6 |
| FY2027 | Request | 19.3 |
This activity is 100% of project 641024's FY2027 request and 27% of PE 0603851F'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.
