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.
FY 2027 will facilitate the transition from WARP requirements to MACE requirements as WARP Increment 2. Increment 2 will continue the development of technologies in support of USSOCOM Theater requirements. Increment 2 will focus on additional personnel chemical exposure edge algorithms, expanding to include additional tactical radios with more cyber testing, and additional environmental and operational testing.
Increase at scale necessary for the expansion of capability for multiple additional requirements from USSOCOM and additional incremental capability (MACE).
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 | 31.7 |
This activity is 17% of project UN5's FY2027 request and 12% 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.
