> **NEW START.** $14.2M requested in FY2027 with no prior-year and no current-year funding.

## Summary

This activity requests $14.2M in FY2027, 9.1% of project EN4 — a new start with no prior-year and no current-year money. The R-2A exhibit describes it across FY2027, including what the FY2027 money is planned to buy.

## What the FY2027 request buys

**FY2027 planned work.** Optimize manufacturing activities and integration of software with hardware assets. The initiative will provide multiple echelons with real-time understanding of the adversarial threat information left of launch, support and enable Commanders to adopting protective measures, optimize detection and characterization efforts, and ensure seamless coordination across the Joint Force and with coalition partners.

**FY2026 to FY2027 change.** Increased investment enables manufacturing optimization and software integration for existing UAS efforts.

## Funding

| Fiscal Year | Estimate Type | Amount ($M) |
|---|---|---|
| FY2027 | Request | 14.2 |

> Prior, current and budget year only — an R-2A activity carries no five-year plan. It sums exactly into its project in the request year and not necessarily in any other.
