What the FY2027 request buys
Verbatim from the R-2A exhibit for project 499 of PE 0604611A. 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 software and hardware upgrades to the Javelin Weapon System for space, weight and performance improvements to reduce engagement time and increase lethality against emerging threats and potential adversary countermeasures. Software/Cyber Updates broken out separately on R-3 to support Army reporting requirements.
Minor increase due to economic assumptions.
FY2025–FY2026: what came before
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 software improvements and begin hardware improvements to improve the Javelin Weapon System engagement time and increase lethality against emerging threats and potential adversary countermeasures.
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 | 9.9 |
| FY2026 | Enacted | 9.7 |
| FY2027 | Request | 10.1 |
This activity is 99% of project 499's FY2027 request and 99% of PE 0604611A'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.
