What the FY2027 request buys
Verbatim from the R-2A exhibit for project MT05 of PE 0603915C. 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.
- SRBM T4 - continue manufacture and qualification to support missions in FY 2027 (1 target) and FY 2028 (1 target).
Decrease from FY 2026 to FY 2027 reflects completion of pre-ship readiness reviews of two (2) SRBM targets (SRBM T4-G and SRBM T4).
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.
- SRBM T4 - complete manufacture and qualification of SRBM T4 Ship Sets 2 and 4 to support pre-ship readiness reviews in FY 2026 (Ship Set 2) and in FY 2027 (Ship Set 4). - Continue SRBM T4 development and recurring engineering efforts. - Complete manufacture and qualification of SRBM T4-G Ship Set 3 for pre-ship readiness review in FY 2026. - Initiate manufacturing of Black Dagger Ship Set 2 to support pre-ship readiness review in FY 2028.
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 | 16.5 |
| FY2026 | Enacted | 40.3 |
| FY2027 | Request | 26.8 |
This activity is 5.4% of project MT05's FY2027 request and 5.2% of PE 0603915C'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.
