What the FY2027 request buys
Verbatim from the R-2A exhibit for project EN4 of PE 0603884BP. 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.
Design and build out CUI/SIPR/JWICS-level HPC and AI/ML enabled computing resources for CBRND Bio-Surveillance/Deterrence missions such as global biosurveillance, operational threat assessment, rapid countermeasure development, and chem-bio protective materials. This includes key infrastructure investments for compute and test & evaluation, as well as information systems and experimentation support. These investments are necessary to properly implement a federated architecture which ensures appropriate connectivity to interagency relevant data and infrastructure with Multiple experimentation and prototyping activities.
FY 2027 increase resources design and build out of computing resources for CBRND Biosurveillance and Deterrence missions, implementation of architecture and integration of relevant interagency data, and multiple experimentation and prototyping activities, utilizing industry and CBDP Science & Technology developed AI/ML capabilities.
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) |
|---|---|---|
| FY2027 | Request | 85.0 |
This activity is 55% of project EN4's FY2027 request and 22% of PE 0603884BP'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.
10 activities in project EN4
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.
