What the FY2027 request buys
Verbatim from the R-2A exhibit for project 673587 of PE 0604283F. 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.
- Complete gap analysis considering Golden Dome of America (GDA) capability - Reassess technical solution to meet Air Traffic Control surveillance and Air Domain Awareness - Begin system procurement for Mt Ka'ala site - Continue to collaborate with GDA by sharing Preliminary Design Review (PDR) and tech demo data from prior year development effrorts
Funding decrease due to change in 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.
- Site design and preparation efforts ongoing - Preliminary Design review with each vendor - Collaborating with the Golden Dome for America Direct Reporting Program Manager's Office with respect to the defense of Hawaii
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 | 66.7 |
| FY2026 | Enacted | 47.3 |
| FY2027 | Request | 44.2 |
This activity is 100% of project 673587's FY2027 request and 100% of PE 0604283F'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.
