What the FY2027 request buys
Verbatim from the R-2A exhibit for project 3243 of PE 0604501N. 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 support and oversight of Engineering Development Model (EDM) hardware and software development and integration - Continue review and assessment of contract deliverables - Conduct and execute LRIP delivery and associated acquisition documentation - Provide engineering oversight of development for combat system integration - Complete test program Modeling and Simulation (M&S) development and maturation - Complete core development test and certification activities - Commence Land Based Testing (LBT) - Prepare for Technical Evaluation and IOT&E (Initial Operational Test & Evaluation) - Prepare for installation on Test Ship DDG-TBD
Decrease in FY27 aligns with ramp down of E&MD efforts and transition of core program activities to production.
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.
- Continue to support and oversee Engineering Development Model (EDM) hardware and software development and integration - Continue review and assessment of contract deliverables - Continue test program Modeling and Simulation (M&S) development and maturation - Continue integrated topside design activities for large deck ship classes - Provide engineering oversight of development for combat system integration
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 | 30.6 |
| FY2026 | Enacted | 17.8 |
| FY2027 | Request | 12.5 |
This activity is 27% of project 3243's FY2027 request and 18% of PE 0604501N'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.
