This activity requests $10.0M in FY2027, 5.3% of project UN5, up 12% on FY2026. The R-2A exhibit describes it across FY2026–FY2027, including what the FY2027 money is planned to buy.

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.

FY2027 planned work

Efforts support advanced experimentation activities with joint warfighters to identify CB defense capability gaps across the services. As part of a coordinated experimentation campaign, the program will use BA5 to verify, validate, and integrate physiological monitoring software capabilities into the hardware-focused decision support tools developed under the CB WEARABLES-ENBD program.

FY2026 to FY2027 change

Program/project funding transferred from another thrust area. Efforts transitioned from BA4 to BA5 in support of System Development and Demonstration activities.

Before the request year

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.

FY2026 plans — current year

Money

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.

This activity is 5.3% of project UN5's FY2027 request and 3.8% 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.
