What the FY2027 request buys
Verbatim from the R-2A exhibit for project 3337 of PE 0604786N. 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.
FY 2027 continues OASuW navigation software improvement efforts as well as mission validation & cryptographic tool development. FY 2027 also begins a System Improvement Program (SIP) to address threat and capability-pacing updates and supporting activities. Those efforts include updates to the Missile Operational Flight Program (MOFP); toolset updates at the Mission Support Cell (MSC) to include the Kill Chain Test Bed (KCT) and Signal-Processor-in-the-Loop (SPIL); updates to Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures (TTPs); target set and threat library expansion; and Engineering Support Studies, Fleet Exercises, and Testing Activities.
Increase from FY 2026 to FY 2027 supports addressing the threat and capability-pacing updates and supporting activities.
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 | 14.4 |
| FY2026 | Enacted | 8.6 |
| FY2027 | Request | 21.8 |
This activity is 100% of project 3337's FY2027 request and 21% of PE 0604786N'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.
