What the FY2027 request buys
Verbatim from the R-2A exhibit for project 3090 of PE 0604262N. 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.
Funds provided for continued support of FOT&E, DT&E and OT&E to include Osprey Drive System Safety Health Indicator and drive train characterization and re-design efforts, vehicle flight control software and hardware updates, mission systems software and hardware updates, cockpit re-design, environmental control systems, structural fatigue, Nacelle Improvements, Integrated Aircraft Survivability Equipment, Sea Trials, communication systems, navigation systems, weapons systems.
V-22 Development Support, Test and Evaluation: Decrease in FY 2027 is due to a decrease in programs efforts that support labor and flight hours.
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.

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 | 29.6 |
| FY2026 | Enacted | 36.2 |
| FY2027 | Request | 35.4 |
This activity is 15% of project 3090's FY2027 request and 14% of PE 0604262N'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 project page.
