**R-2A activity** of project 651030 — GPS Receiver Development  
**Program element:** 0604201F — GPS Receiver Development  
**Component:** U.S. Air Force · **Budget Activity:** 5  
**Vintage:** President's Budget PB2027

## Summary

This activity requests $166.7M in FY2027, 23% of project 651030, up 841% on FY2026. The R-2A exhibit describes it across FY2026–FY2027, including what the FY2027 money is planned to buy.

## What the FY2027 request buys

**FY2027 planned work.** Continue Digital Engineering OTA and Design Agent OTA efforts. Building and evaluating physical SDAE prototypes and developing digital twin models for both the SDAE and SSDR.

**FY2026 to FY2027 change.** Funding increased due to additional testing and development of SDAE prototypes and digital twin models for both the SDAE and SSDR. Additionally, the large increase in funds corresponds to SDUE's development of fieldable prototypes within the 5-year Rapid Prototyping window. SDUE is currently in year 3 of a 5-year MTA.

## Before the request year

**FY2026 plans — current year.** Continue Digital Engineering Other Transaction Authority (OTA) and Design Agent OTA efforts. Building and evaluating physical SDAE prototypes and developing a digital twin model for the SDAE.

## Funding

| Fiscal Year | Estimate Type | Amount ($M) |
|---|---|---|
| FY2025 | Actual | 15.1 |
| FY2026 | Enacted | 17.7 |
| FY2027 | Request | 166.7 |

> Prior, current and budget year only — an R-2A activity carries no five-year plan. It sums exactly into its project in the request year and not necessarily in any other.
