What the FY2027 request buys
Verbatim from the R-2A exhibit for project 3469 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 SOEA Rapid Prototype Development to prove out and validate critical performance capability, system architecture functionality, and supportability requirements. Support failure mode analyses. - Continue software support for SKCS integration. - Continue developing the SOEA training modules of SEWTT - Commence upgrades of software and hardware baseline based on performance testing results. - Support phase 1 Developmental and Performance Testing - Support land-based performance and environmental testing to prove out integrated system capabilities and verify integrated system performance in a representative operational environment.
The decrease in FY27 aligns with the completion of SOEA phase 1 prototype development in FY26.
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 SOEA Rapid Prototype Development to prove out and validate critical performance capability, system architecture functionality, and supportability requirements. Support failure mode analyses. - Provide software support for Soft-kill Coordination System (SKCS) integration. - Commence and complete Formal Qualification Test (FQT). - Commence developing the SOEA training modules of the Surface Electronic Warfare Tactical Trainer (SEWTT).
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 | 14.4 |
| FY2026 | Enacted | 44.2 |
| FY2027 | Request | 36.1 |
This activity is 56% of project 3469's FY2027 request and 18% 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.

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.
