What the FY2027 request buys
Verbatim from the R-2A exhibit for project EU6 of PE 0604802A. 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 funding will support critical verification testing and manufacturing maturation activities required to achieve Critical Design Review (CDR).
Decrease due to the reduction of engineering and manufacturing development activities, and transition to qualification evaluation.
FY2025–FY2026: what came before
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.
FY 2026 funding supports development activities to build, test, and evaluate a solution that meets the requirements specified in the Next Generation Rocket Assisted Projectile (NGRAP) Capabilities Development Document (CDD).
FY 2025 Funding will continue to support Next Generation Rocket Assisted Projectile (NGRAP) development and testing activities to verify all weapon, propellant and fuze interoperability requirements.
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 | 15.1 |
| FY2026 | Enacted | 16.3 |
| FY2027 | Request | 13.1 |
This activity is 100% of project EU6's FY2027 request and 10% of PE 0604802A'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.
