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.
- Continue support and oversight of Engineering Development Model (EDM) activities - Continue and complete Hardware & Software Integration - Continue development for Combat System Integration (CSI) - Complete SPEIR Test & Certification events - Deliver LRIP for commencement of installation to the initial Test Ship - Complete Environmental Qualification Test (EQT) and Formal Qualification Testing (FQT) - Prepare for Tech Eval and IOT&E
Decrease from FY26 to FY27 aligns with anticipated ramp down to EM&D contract scope attributed to the completion of EDM material purchases, ramp down of core capability software development, and ramp down of test events.
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 support and oversight of Engineering Development Model (EDM) activities - Perform EMD Hardware & Software Integration - Complete final core capability software build - Prepare for and conduct Production Readiness Reviews (PRR) and System Verification Reviews (SVR) - Deliver EDM units to support program test events - Perform Environmental Qualification Test (EQT) and Formal Qualification Testing (FQT) and Operational Assessment (OA) - Conduct Environmental Stress Screening (ESS) - Execute development for Combat System Integration (CSI) - Perform Incremental Design, Development, and Integration with Aegis Combat System - Perform Planning Site Activation efforts required to Support Land Based Testing - Support SPEIR Blk I Combat System Integration In-Progress Review
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 | 61.3 |
| FY2026 | Enacted | 36.2 |
| FY2027 | Request | 33.2 |
This activity is 73% of project 3243's FY2027 request and 49% 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.
