What the FY2027 request buys
Verbatim from the R-2A exhibit for project 3186 of PE 0604522N. 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 testing at Wallops Island and in-plant, including refinement of Air Traffic Control support, radar operation functions, improving air warfare and electronic protection capabilities, combat system land-based test events, and carrier power risk reduction testing - Continue to support operation of radar emulator at Combat System Engineering Agent (CSEA) lab in Moorestown, NJ, including combat system integration test support - Continue to support planning and execution of DT/OT efforts - Continue radar software development and defect correction for CS integration with SSDS combat system
Decrease is due to ramp down of new capability development.
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 testing at Wallops Island and in-plant, including refinement of Air Traffic Control support, radar operation functions, improving air warfare and electronic protection capabilities, combat system land-based test events, and carrier power risk reduction testing - Continue radar system engineering support to design Cross Product Teams (CPTs) for trade requirements generation and trace, and modeling and simulation for Combat System (CS) integration efforts with Ship Self Defense System (SSDS) combat system - Continue radar software development and defect correction for CS integration with SSDS combat system - Continue to support operation of radar emulator at Combat System Engineering Agent (CSEA) lab in Moorestown, NJ, including combat system integration test support - Support planning and execution of DT/OT efforts
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 | 23.7 |
| FY2026 | Enacted | 16.3 |
| FY2027 | Request | 15.7 |
This activity is 16% of project 3186's FY2027 request and 16% of PE 0604522N'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 program-element page.
