What the FY2027 request buys
Verbatim from the R-2A exhibit for project UN5 of PE 0604384BP. 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.
Initiate and award contract actions for maturation of multiple prototype systems, integrate prototypes into a holistic multi-modality approach. Conduct iterative prototyping with developmental test and evaluation on components/sub-components of remote sensing systems, to include CBRN Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS). Support refinement of capabilities through warfighter touchpoints. Continue development of technologies transitioned from Science and Technology (S&T) partners and transitions from Service Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) efforts. Support program management and administration processes required for program resource and schedule tracking.
Funding increase to continue development and integration of technology transferred from Service Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) efforts and Science and Technology (S&T) partners.
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) |
|---|---|---|
| FY2027 | Request | 11.3 |
This activity is 6.0% of project UN5's FY2027 request and 4.3% of PE 0604384BP'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.
