### Project 832 — Field Medical Systems Engineering Development

Program Elements efforts focus on addressing emerging requirements and capabilities for deployable medical equipment and sets. These initiatives aim to transition mature technologies into operational systems that enhance medical readiness and support the Army's ability to conduct Large-Scale Combat Operations (LSCO). Through advanced development funding, the Army integrates innovative solutions, refines system performance, and ensures deployable medical capabilities are optimized to meet the evolving needs of the force. This includes the development, testing, and fielding of medical equipment and sets designed to deliver life-saving care in austere and high-intensity operational environments.

| Activity (R-2A) | FY2025 | FY2026 | FY2027 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Field Medical Systems Engineering Development - Medical Readiness | 7.0 | 6.3 | 9.7 |

> R-2A activities carry the prior, current and budget year only — no five-year plan. Coverage is partial, so count them, never total them.

## Where the FY2027 request goes
