What the FY2027 request buys
Verbatim from the R-2A exhibit for project 655050 of PE 0604281F. 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 to manage the development, certification, training and logistics plans for individual TDL implementations to Joint/ allied standards. - Will continue to provide the necessary engineering, technical, and administrative support required to add and/or update Air Force platform and system information exchange requirements. - Will continue to ensure compatibility and interoperability of TDLs by funding required Air Force/joint MIL-STD compliance and interoperability tests. - Will continue ensure compatibility and interoperability of TDLs by developing TDL messaging capability to address new or updated operational requirements
Decrease from FY 2026 to FY 2027 due to realignment for higher operational priorities.
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 | 26.0 |
| FY2026 | Enacted | 28.5 |
| FY2027 | Request | 22.2 |
This activity is 20% of project 655050's FY2027 request and 20% of PE 0604281F'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.
