What the FY2027 request buys
Verbatim from the R-2A exhibit for project 2190 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 engineering and effectiveness studies to evaluate new and existing threats; update Fly-Out Tactics table for specific platforms (as appropriate) - Continue to develop and test new Nulka library files to support new platforms with SKCS (as appropriate) - Continue DLMC Nulka Objective Architecture backward compatibility technology with SKCS - Continue to support Nulka Objective Architecture integration with SKCS - Continue to develop Nulka Launch Management (NLMt) to support the Nulka Objective Architecture - Commence Nulka Payload Improvements for EW Capability
FY26 to FY27 increase reflects continued systems engineering and program management support efforts, as well as the commencement of Nulka Payload EW Capability improvements.
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.

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 | 4.8 |
| FY2026 | Enacted | 5.6 |
| FY2027 | Request | 12.5 |
This activity is 100% of project 2190's FY2027 request and 6.4% 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.
