This activity requests $39.3M in FY2027, 100% of project 645350 — 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.

New start

This activity requests $39.3M in FY2027 with no prior-year and no current-year funding. There is no incumbent line to compare it with — it did not exist before this President's Budget.

What the FY2027 request buys

Verbatim from the R-2A exhibit for project 645350 of PE 0604060F. 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.

FY2027 planned work

focus on improving on-premises infrastructure to support DoW scalable environments, data analytics, and AI tool suites to support the integration of intelligence, planning, and operations data to address immediate mission needs. For example, this capability provides analysts with instant access to AI driven dashboards and alerts that fuse sensor feeds, logistics, and mission plans to rapidly enhance border monitoring, illicit trafficking detection, and domain awareness which significantly reduces analytic workloads, accelerates operational planning, and drives decision superiority in direct support of Homeland Defense (HD) and the Unified Command Plan (UCP).

FY2026 to FY2027 change

This program, BA 4, PE 0604060F, project 645350, N&NC Experimentation, is a new start.

Money

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.

This activity is 100% of project 645350's FY2027 request and 100% of PE 0604060F'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.
