What the FY2027 request buys
Verbatim from the R-2A exhibit for project ED5 of PE 0604120A. 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.
Fiscal Year (FY) 2027 Base funds in the amount of $18.993 million continues prototype hardware/software development, developmental testing, systems engineering, and program management for the APNT Modernization efforts.
Increase from Fiscal Year (FY) 26 to FY27 is to initiate platform and client integration efforts, initiate engineering modeling for requirements, and conduct development/environmental testing.
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.
Fiscal Year (FY) 2026 Base funds in the amount of $8.686 million continues prototype hardware/software development, systems engineering, and program management for the APNT Modernization efforts.
Fiscal Year (FY) 2025 Base funds in the amount of $10.125 million supports prototype hardware/software development, systems engineering, and program management efforts.
Three years, and no five-year plan
An R-2A activity publishes the prior year, the current year and the budget year. The FYDP outyears exist at project and program-element level and are deliberately absent here rather than inferred. Estimate types are colored and never summed into one figure.
| Fiscal Year | Estimate Type | Amount ($M) |
|---|---|---|
| FY2025 | Actual | 7.3 |
| FY2026 | Enacted | 8.7 |
| FY2027 | Request | 19.0 |
This activity is 100% of project ED5's FY2027 request and 100% of PE 0604120A'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 program-element page.
