What the FY2027 request buys
Verbatim from the R-2A exhibit for project 642001 of PE 0604257F. 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.
- Will continue DevSecOps and Digital Engineering environment. - Will continue operating government software integration lab. - Will continue update software design materials and technical data package for transition partners. - Will develop and deliver Minimum Viable Capability Release (MVCR).
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.
- Transition software and digital engineering artifacts from AFRL to lifecycle appropriate environments. - Establish DevSecOps and Digital Engineering environment. - Establish government software integration lab. - Update software design materials and technical data package for threshold platform integration. - Conduct operationally relevant flight exercise to demonstrate viability of technology.
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 | 0.0 |
| FY2026 | Enacted | 17.9 |
| FY2027 | Request | 23.8 |
This activity is 61% of project 642001's FY2027 request and 61% of PE 0604257F'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.
