What the FY2027 request buys
Verbatim from the R-2A exhibit for project MD65 of PE 0604102C. 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.
- Site Activation and Operations Support, Environmental studies and Mitigation Support, and Command Center Equipment.
$13.656 million increase from FY 2026 to FY 2027 in PDI funding provides equipment for the Command Center, including temporary equipment for the Access Control Facility and the X-Ray Scanners.
FY2026: the year under way
Prior-year accomplishments and current-year plans from the same exhibit. Context for the FY2027 plan, not a series — an activity partitions its project exactly in the request year, but can under-cover it in earlier years.
- Completion of environmental impact studies and assessments activities in support of operationalizing Flight Experiment Mission -02 Leave behind site as directed by Department. - Completion of MEC investigations and removal actions.
Three years, and no five-year plan
An R-2A activity publishes the prior year, the current year and the budget year. The FYDP outyears exist at project and program-element level and are deliberately absent here rather than inferred. Estimate types are colored and never summed into one figure.
| Fiscal Year | Estimate Type | Amount ($M) |
|---|---|---|
| FY2025 | Actual | 14.7 |
| FY2026 | Enacted | 28.0 |
| FY2027 | Request | 41.6 |
This activity is 20% of project MD65's FY2027 request and 20% of PE 0604102C'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.
