What the FY2027 request buys
Verbatim from the R-2A exhibit for project MD30 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.
- Continue hybrid Cloud consolidation to Joint Warfighter Cloud Capability. - Continue deployment of Next-Generation Environment (NGE) to address future Missile Defense System-Next capabilities and increasing cloud requirements. - Expand hybrid Cloud support to address future Missile Defense System-Next capabilities and increasing cloud requirements. - Execute refresh EoL/EoS IT infrastructure for efficient and compliant delivery in support of Missile Defense System programs including Missile Defense System-Next. - Deploy the enterprise MBSE Platform and supporting digital infrastructure, including the GRA Repository, MBSE-in-the-Cloud, integrated toolchains, and model-centric analytics services. - Missile Defense System-Next Modeling and Simulation Office: -- Establish process to synchronize, integrate and execute Missile Defense System-Next M&S modernization efforts across all intended uses, leveraging M&S Best Practices and Modular Open System Architecture approach. -- Develop a common rubric to integrate existing tools with open-source solutions and external digital pipelines. Define M&S interfaces to ensure models are interoperable. -- Identify M&S gaps across Missile Defense System-Next System lifecycle and develop Missile Defense System-Next M&S roadmap to identify solutions. Initiate acquisition of new M&S tools. -- Identify opportunities to accelerate Missile Defense System-Next M&S products. - Continue IT consolidation activities.
Increase from FY 2026 to FY 2027 provides for additional connectivity upgrades, expansion of Next-Generation Environment platform, and EoL/EoS refresh of IT infrastructure for efficient and compliant support of Missile Defense System programs. Also, provides a foundational MBSE capability and digital platform to accelerate engineering transformation and provides for consolidation and centralized management of all M&S innovation across the Missile Defense System-Next lifecycle.
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.
- Complete the MDIOC Special Use Space (SUS) to consolidate disparate above SECRET collateral facilities. - Execute refresh EoL/EoS IT infrastructure for efficient and compliant delivery in support of Missile Defense System programs including Missile Defense System-Next. - Implement Cloud FinOps 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 | 15.6 |
| FY2027 | Request | 292.2 |
This activity is 54% of project MD30's FY2027 request and 20% 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.
6 activities in project MD30
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.
