What the FY2027 request buys
Verbatim from the R-2A exhibit for project MD28 of PE 0603890C. 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.
- Define MDA intelligence requirements for IC support of future Missile Defense design, development, test, and deployment. - Update cybersecurity systems engineering policy and guidance for future Missile Defense design and acquisition.
Increase from FY 2026 to FY 2027 provides for definition of MDA intelligence requirements for Intelligence Community support of future missile defense design, development, test, and deployment. Increase also provides additional cybersecurity systems engineering policy and guidance for future missile defense design and acquisition in support of the President's Executive Order 14186.
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 | 39.5 |
| FY2026 | Enacted | 37.3 |
| FY2027 | Request | 45.6 |
This activity is 68% of project MD28's FY2027 request and 3.1% of PE 0603890C'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.
