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.
Develop and implement comprehensive V-22 mid-life upgrade efforts to enhance readiness and safety performance through targeted efforts: 1.Introduce the Integrated Cargo Handling System (ICHS) to increase Joint Modular Intermodal Containers (JMIC) capacity in the MV-22 from quantity three to quantity five. This system significantly reduces the time required to secure JMICs and incorporates roller system improvements to align, load, and position cargo while preventing damage to the aircraft. 2.Install an aerodynamic treatment to the aircraft's Outer Mold Line to reduce exit pressure, improve airflow through the left-hand cavity, and minimize Integrated Avionics Processor (IAP) 1 HOT occurrences. This enhancement ensures proper IAP functionality with existing systems and supports the integration of new systems without introducing additional issues. 3. Incorporate safety and reliability improvements to the Pylon Conversion Actuator (PCA) addressing a 1D, Catastrophic-Remote Risk to the V-22 program for PCA Fails to Convert or Failure to Control Nacelle Angle. This risk was opened in 2024 and QTY 24 PCA in-flight jam events have been recorded to date. Incorporation of the proposed redesigns to the Ballnut and the Worm Gear will reduce the risk to an Improbable, Medium-Risk. 4.Design and implement an EAPS redesign to prevent blower stall during critical flight regimes and allow the system to sufficiently scavenge dust and sand away from the engine inlet. Proper scavenge of air from the engine inlet will improve compressor section erosion timelines and increase time on wing per engine 5.Implementation of Electrical Load Management System (ELMS) to provide additional onboard power for new systems, including the Flight Control System (FCS) upgrade and the MANGL system. ELMS will also inform the crew of overloads and required power shedding, enabling automatic or manual shedding of low-priority loads. Additionally, identify and address key drivers affecting readiness and safety outcomes, while conducting annual reviews of the modernization plan during cross-service program safety risk assessments. Establish full and partial mitigation strategies to resolve or downgrade open and monitored I-D and I-E SSRAs, and implement an integrated process to thoroughly identify, analyze, and mitigate both system safety and non-system safety risks.
Renewed V-22 Aircraft Modernization Program (ReVAMP): Increase in FY 2027 is due to additional funding provided in support of comprehensive review recommendations to develop and implement V-22 mid-life upgrade efforts and develop an integrated process to fully identify, analyze, and respond to system safety and non-system safety risks.
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 | 0.0 |
| FY2027 | Request | 47.5 |
This activity is 20% of project 3090's FY2027 request and 19% 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.
