What the FY2027 request buys
Verbatim from the R-2A exhibit for project 3390 of PE 0604273M. 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.
Continue developing product improvements for incremental incorporation to the VH-92A capability baseline to include enhancements to advanced capabilities, cockpit upgrades, GFE, MCS hardware/software upgrades, continue developing product improvements for distributed network communications, new mission software capabilities, vehicle performance enhancements and high hot performance Power Margin Incs 1, and 2 rotor blades, Extended Range/Noise Reduction and maintain test aircraft.
Decrease from FY2026 to FY2027 resulting from reduced Product Improvement development requirements necessary for the high hot performance Power Margin 1C efforts.
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 | 42.0 |
| FY2026 | Enacted | 66.9 |
| FY2027 | Request | 61.1 |
This activity is 88% of project 3390's FY2027 request and 88% of PE 0604273M'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 program-element page.
