What the FY2027 request buys
Verbatim from the R-2A exhibit for project 2208 of PE 0604112N. 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 to perform technical analysis and engineering calculations in support of System/Component, Environmental Safety and Health Qualification, and Human Factors Engineering, Ship/System/Component Survivability and Vulnerability Qualification, System/Component Shock and Vibration Qualification. Continue to address design and construction issues and technically resolve class system integration issues based on the results of CVN 78/79 testing and initial operations. Refine system integration and testing strategies for implementation testing by evaluating improvements needed to capitalize on CVN 78/79 lessons learned. Manage and resolve fact-of-life obsolescence changes on government-furnished equipment and contractor-furnished equipment systems to support construction. Development of strategies and design improvements to address late material. Continue conducting and supporting feasibility and tradeoff studies on new and modified shipboard systems and equipment.
Budget decrease in FY2027 funding is due to the resolution of integration issues and implementation of strategies to into the CVN 78 Class plans as well as preliminary acceptance of CVN 79 in FY2026 and transition to an in-service asset.
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.

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 | 21.6 |
| FY2026 | Enacted | 25.8 |
| FY2027 | Request | 19.6 |
This activity is 24% of project 2208's FY2027 request and 18% of PE 0604112N'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.
