What the FY2027 request buys
Verbatim from the R-2A exhibit for project FI4 of PE 0604117A. 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.
FY 2027 will initiate the development of a TADSS (Training Aids, Devices, Simulators and Simulations), diagnostic troubleshooting tools and ongoing product improvement development.
FY 2027 increase represents ramp up of TADSS development and continuation of Product Improvement development efforts.
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.
FY 2026 initiates product improvement development and testing of new capabilities for 30mm upgrades. Regression and integration testing for software upgrades of the system and perform live fire testing.
Conduct Systems IOT and continue Engineering & Technical Support for support of future MSHORAD Inc. 1 technology insertions, upgrades through individual materiel changes to address operational lessons learned, and other system performance improvements/enhancements to provide overmatch capability against emerging threats.
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 | 10.7 |
| FY2027 | Request | 43.0 |
This activity is 100% of project FI4's FY2027 request and 9.3% of PE 0604117A'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.
