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.
- Development and sustainment of classified and unclassified data integration and AI platform using DoW approved commercial Software as a Service (SaaS). - Develop and sustain Top Secret (TS) Decision Advantage Platform. - Develop new algorithms against varied feature space leveraging AI and Machine Learning (ML). - Provide advanced training to support Missile Defense System-Next systems and mission. - Provide integration of new Missile Defense System-Next systems to improve data extraction, action implementation, and data translation to address complex integration initiatives.
Increase from FY 2026 to FY 2027 provides advanced support to the GRA, specialized MBSE for enhanced capability development through the system lifecycle, MBSE digital business processes, model-based tools, services, and infrastructure to develop, implement, and maintain MDA Enterprise GRA. The increase also enables development of both classified and unclassified data integration and AI products utilizing DoW approved commercial SaaS. The increase also provides the ability to integrate data and create decision products at the TS level to support emerging requirements and enables DoW Data, Analytics, and AI Adoption and AI decision making and operational efficiency.
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.
- Provide enhanced IT engineering support for new requirement. - Provide automation and tracking tools for analysis, design, planning, and implementation of IT solutions.
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 | 26.8 |
| FY2026 | Enacted | 29.9 |
| FY2027 | Request | 90.1 |
This activity is 17% of project MD30's FY2027 request and 6.2% 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.

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.
