HitchAI read

This activity requests $82.9M in FY2027, 100% of project DP1 — a new start with no prior-year and no current-year money. The R-2A exhibit describes it across FY2027, including what the FY2027 money is planned to buy.

New start

This activity requests $82.9M in FY2027 with no prior-year and no current-year funding. There is no incumbent line to compare it with — it did not exist before this President's Budget.

What the FY2027 request buys

Verbatim from the R-2A exhibit for project DP1 of PE 0604182A. 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.

FY2027 planned work

FY 2027 efforts will include the Castelion Flight Termination System (FTS) Implementation which includes labor for design, qualification, testing, program management, and materials for 10 units. The FY 2027 efforts also consist of continuing the Blackbeard - GL Option Award to include a test readiness TEM, Production-Representative Blackbeard - GL and launcher pod live-fire launch, Production TEM and begin production of Government Test Articles.

FY2026 to FY2027 change

FY 2027 funding increase continues efforts previously executed on Project HX3.

Money

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.

This activity is 100% of project DP1's FY2027 request and 100% of PE 0604182A'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.
