What the FY2027 request buys
Verbatim from the R-2A exhibit for project EF5 of PE 0605031A. 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.
Development funding will continue design, engineering, integration and test of planning and management application for the Tactical Radio network in support of the ANWf. Support to align with Army Network Modernization to enable Soldiers the ability to manage the entire consolidated tactical network in conjunction with Sailors, Marines, and Airmen. Continued development provides further integration of the Joint Service Networks and Network Management of its emerging systems to enable Soldiers the ability to effectively manage their networks. Radio planner development efforts seek to continue development of joint service waveform support as identified in the JNMSRT MOA. JNMS planning applications are deployed on and critically tied to the RAP-TR hardware from Division to the Company level.
Increase in FY 2027 in support of new waveform development aligning to emerging joint service tactical network management requirements identified in accordance with (IAW) the JNMSRT MOA.
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.
Development funding will continue design, engineering, integration and test of planning and management application for the Tactical Radio network in support of the Advanced Networking Waveforms (ANWf). Support to align with Army Network Modernization to provide further integration of the lower and mid-tier Network Management for the Unified Network (UN) to enable Soldiers the ability to manage the entire consolidated tactical network in conjunction with network elements managed by Sailors, Marines, and Airmen. Continued development provides further integration of the Joint Service Networks and Network Management of its emerging systems to enable Soldiers the ability to effectively manage their networks. Radio planner development efforts seek to continue development of joint service waveform support as identified in the Joint Network Management Software for Radio Terminals (JNMSRT) MOA. JNMS planning applications are deployed on and critically tied to the RAP-TR hardware from Division to the Company level.

Development funding will also support completion of MUOS waveform planning simplification and rapid provisioning of MUOS end-user terminals for joint service requirements. JENM planning applications are deployed on, and critically tied to the RAP-TR hardware from Division to the Company level.
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 | 6.5 |
| FY2026 | Enacted | 14.2 |
| FY2027 | Request | 18.1 |
This activity is 86% of project EF5's FY2027 request and 36% of PE 0605031A'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.
