What the FY2027 request buys
Verbatim from the R-2A exhibit for project 0954 of PE 0604757N. 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 RCIP #4 SKCS efforts to address platform gaps for automatic and semi-automatic engagements using Nulka decoys, onboard Electronic Attack (EA) (AN/SLQ-32 (V)7), and offboard EA systems; Continue software development and system integration and testing activities for delivery of completed software builds with capabilities including coordination of Nulka and combination engagements with AN/SLQ-32(V)6, AN/SLQ-32(V)7, and offboard EW for enhanced coordination technique deployment; Continue integration and testing activities in support of AEGIS ACB 20 (Baseline 10) by participating in AEGIS ACB 20 integration events and preparing a fully tested software build for element certification; Complete SKCS FQT25 for a software build in support of AN/SLQ-32(V)6, and continue to participate in system integration events with AN/ SLQ-32(V)6, AN/SLQ-32(V)7 and Offboard EW; Continue SSDS ACB 20, OPC, and FF(X) integration support efforts. Continue development of SKCS automated software test lab using cloud computing resources. - Continue SEWTT development of trainer enhancements including additional SKCS, and Offboard EW capabilities; Continue development of trainer enhancements for SLQ-32(V)7's Onboard EA. - Continue RCIP #8 Netted Electronic Warfare Directed Engagement Logic (NEWDEL) improvements to the AN/SLQ-32(V)6 and AN/SLQ-32(V)7 to improve EW operator control and awareness of EW assets connected via tactical data links. Develop a Tactical Computer Software Configuration Item (CSCI) for the AN/SLQ-32(V)6 and (V)7 to monitor and control netted EW assets for improved anti-ship missile defense performance. - Continue RCIP #6 Built In Test & Signal Processing to re-architect system fault detection and fault identification algorithms. - Continue RCIP #10 Measurement Based Adaptive Response (M-BAR). Initiate collaborative development with the M- BAR FNC to transition technology that improves anti-ship missile defense performance. Develop a tactical Firmware update to the AN/SLQ-32(V)7 to implement adaptable Electronic Attack techniques and reduce system dependency on threat signature intelligence data. - Continue RCIP #11 Electronic Warfare (EW) Planning Aid to provide tactical decision makers a tool that visualizes and informs how to best employ electronic warfare assets to maximize survivability while ship(s) execute mission tasking. Tool informs ship positioning, non-kinetic response effectiveness, doctrine statements, & Pre-Planned Responses. - Continue RCIP #12 TACSIM Technology Refresh for updated hardware and software to enable early integration and test of AN/ SLQ-32(V)6/7 tactical software. - Continue RCIP #13 Mk 59, SLQ-32(V)6 and (V)7 Integration to accomplish design changes required to address obsolescence issues and integration of Mk 59 Decoy Launching System with Combat System, SLQ-32(V)6, and SKCS.
Decrease from FY26 to FY27 is due to a reduction in funding to support higher Navy priorities.
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 RCIP #4 SKCS efforts to address platform gaps for automatic and semi-automatic engagements using Nulka decoys, onboard Electronic Attack (EA) (AN/SLQ-32 (V)7), and offboard EA systems; Continue software development and system integration and testing activities for delivery of completed software builds with capabilities including coordination of Nulka and combination engagements with AN/SLQ-32(V)6, AN/SLQ-32(V)7, and offboard EW for enhanced coordination technique deployment; Continue integration and testing activities in support of AEGIS ACB 20 (Baseline 10) by participating in AEGIS ACB 20 integration events and preparing a fully tested software build for element certification; Complete SKCS FQT25 for a software build in support of AN/SLQ-32(V)6, and continue to participate in system integration events with AN/ SLQ-32(V)6, AN/SLQ-32(V)7 and Offboard EW; Continue SSDS ACB 20, OPC, and FF(X) integration support 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 | 17.0 |
| FY2026 | Enacted | 17.2 |
| FY2027 | Request | 15.4 |
This activity is 100% of project 0954's FY2027 request and 7.8% of PE 0604757N'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.
