What the FY2027 request buys
Verbatim from the R-2A exhibit for project 0606 of PE 0604264N. 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.
CWAES: Conduct Critical Design Review (CDR), receive initial delivery of prototypes, begin Developmental Testing. SVSI: Complete developmental test and qualify improvements to the Survival Vest System. IJHMCS: Complete integrated test. HMR: Complete developmental test.
Decrease from FY 2026 to FY 2027 due to reprioritization of funds to support updated Fleet safety requirements.
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.
IJHMCS: Complete Integrated Test EVA: Continue technical maturation of critical components associated with EVA, receive additional prototypes. RLD: Continue development and integration of system, release production RFP, begin operational testing. AHP: Award EMD contract, receive delivery of test assets, begin testing. SVSI: Continue to develop, test, and qualify improvements to the Survival Vest System. PSE: Initiate design of PSE modernization, award EMD contract. CWAES: Conduct System Requirements Review, begin delivery of prototypes, commence developmental testing. NGRWH: Receive acquisition strategy approval, award prototype Other Transaction Authority (OTA) contracts, receive prototypes, and begin evaluations for downselection to single vendor.
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 | 17.4 |
| FY2026 | Enacted | 36.1 |
| FY2027 | Request | 17.5 |
This activity is 81% of project 0606's FY2027 request and 81% of PE 0604264N'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.
