What the FY2027 request buys
Verbatim from the R-2A exhibit for project 644183 of PE 0604183F. 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.
Effort will continue subsystem qualification testing and the integration, assembly, test, and checkout of the All-Up Round system. Efforts will also include flight testing of HACM prototypes and other risk data.
The increase of $24.946M is due to the program adding integration and test activities as well as the execution of All-Up-Round flight verification tests.
FY2026: the year under way
Prior-year accomplishments and current-year plans from the same exhibit. Context for the FY2027 plan, not a series — an activity partitions its project exactly in the request year, but can under-cover it in earlier years.
Effort conducted additional subsystem qualification testing and integration, assembly, test, and checkout of the All-Up Round system. Efforts included initial flight testing of HACM prototypes and other risk data.
Three years, and no five-year plan
An R-2A activity publishes the prior year, the current year and the budget year. The FYDP outyears exist at project and program-element level and are deliberately absent here rather than inferred. Estimate types are colored and never summed into one figure.
| Fiscal Year | Estimate Type | Amount ($M) |
|---|---|---|
| FY2025 | Actual | 26.8 |
| FY2026 | Enacted | 64.0 |
| FY2027 | Request | 88.9 |
This activity is 11% of project 644183's FY2027 request and 11% of PE 0604183F'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.
