What the FY2027 request buys
Verbatim from the R-2A exhibit for project 3466 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 will provide the Test report supporting LRASM C-3 EOC. Complete Integrated Test Event-13 (ITE-13) and ITE-15. Complete Flying Test Bed (FTB-19) test event, as well as prep for Operational Test Event-3, and conduct further cyber related events. Complete Integrated Test Event in Modeling & Simulation-7 (ITEM-7) and begin ITEM-8 efforts.
Decrease from FY 2026 to FY 2027 as LRASM C-3 development Phase 3 efforts near completion.
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.
Complete System Level Qualification & Production Readiness Review (PRR). Continue Flying Test Bed (FTB) Test events. Deliver seven (7) flight test missiles. Complete Integrated Test Event Flight Test. Complete Verification and Validation on Mission Operational Flight Program (MOFP) software. Receive NSA frequency authorization.
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 | 244.4 |
| FY2026 | Enacted | 129.6 |
| FY2027 | Request | 82.7 |
This activity is 100% of project 3466's FY2027 request and 79% 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.
