## Summary

This activity requests $19.7M in FY2027, 49% of project 673506, down 2.7% on FY2026. The R-2A exhibit describes it across FY2026–FY2027, including what the FY2027 money is planned to buy.

## What the FY2027 request buys

**FY2027 planned work.** Continue software development efforts that deploy software tools to increase capacity within the reprogramming laboratories. Continue ongoing efforts to support aircraft in relation to Continuous Development Capability Delivery (C2D2). Continue to upgrade Reprogramming Verification & Validation Systems (RVVS) to meet the Block 4 capability requirements and meet next generation threats. Complete efforts for the AGILE development of Common Reprogramming Tools (CRT) to provide Electronic Warfare Squadrons with essential software tools that reduce both Mission Data File (MDF) development time & human error while increasing combat effectiveness. Complete development support for defining, managing and acquiring the F-35 Reprogramming capability enhancements identified in approved requirements documents for Block 4 and modernization efforts and support efforts for joint reprogramming enterprise activities. Continue efforts with Advanced Development, Integration, & Test (BFC) contract to integrate Block 4 software data loads at reprogramming laboratories. Continue efforts to improving the velocity of MDF development, improving the tools available to the reprogramming laboratories to process and reprograming operational data, and to support rapid reprogramming activities.

**FY2026 to FY2027 change.** When considering the FY2027 mandatory funding in addition to discretionary funding, the increase from FY2026 to FY2027 reflects funds needed for Block 4 integration and Air System Alignment, which is required to ensure mission readiness.
