What the FY2027 request buys
Verbatim from the R-2A exhibit for project AX3 of PE 0604115A. 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.
FY27 will continue to leverage National Investments and advances in Signal Intelligence (SIGINT), Electronics Warfare, and Cyber capabilities to prototype increased capability for use and advancement of Army Warfighter Capability.
The FY27 Iron Sense TMI increase in funding is required to complete the porting of capabilities and the costs required for multiple in theater tests with enough systems to evaluate the user CONOPS and operations.
FY2025–FY2026: what came before
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.
FY26 will continue to leverage National Investments and advances in Signal Intelligence (SIGINT), Electronics Warfare, and Cyber capabilities to prototype increased capability for use and advancement of Army Warfighter Capability.
FY25 will leverage National Investments and advances in Signal Intelligence (SIGINT), Electronics Warfare, and Cyber capabilities to prototype increased capability for use and advancement of Army Warfighter Capability.
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 | 9.9 |
| FY2026 | Enacted | 31.5 |
| FY2027 | Request | 31.7 |
This activity is 10% of project AX3's FY2027 request and 10% of PE 0604115A'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.
28 activities in project AX3
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 program-element page.
