What the FY2027 request buys
Verbatim from the R-2A exhibit for project EY7 of PE 0605052A. 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.
- Complete delta qualification testing and delta developmental testing - Support the Integrated Fires Test Campaign to test and evaluate IFPC Inc 2 operation within the Army's Integrated Air and Missile Defense architecture - Conduct product improvements following IOT&E which includes continuing software development, system modifications, Guam Defense System (GDS) integration, and perform modeling and simulation (M&S) improvements
FY 2027 decrease due to the program's transition from development and test to production
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.
- Continue delta qualification testing and delta developmental testing - Conduct Initial Operational Test & Evaluation and Logistics Demonstration - Continue training for IOT&E - Participate in the Integrated Fires Test Campaign to test and evaluation IFPC Inc 2 operation within the Army's Integrated Air and Missile Defense architecture - Continue Datalink development and test - Conduct product improvements to include continuing software development, system modifications, and to perform modeling and simulation (M&S) improvements and accreditation. - Continue extreme natural environment testing (XNET) - Accelerate software development for fielding of IFPC launchers for IFPC United States Forces Korea (USFK) Transformation in Contact (TIC) to facilitate early and continuous Soldier feedback to inform future system and doctrinal development - Complete logistic efforts to include Technical Manual Validation and Verification, Test Player Training, Log Demo, Force Development/IOT&E Test Player Course, and Ammunition Data Cards
- Continue and complete an Operational Assessment to ensure operational supportability - Continue utilizing a Middle Tier Acquisition (MTA) Rapid Prototyping (RP) approach while preparing for MTA Rapid Fielding (RF) decision point - Continue delta qualification testing and delta developmental testing - Conduct extreme natural environment testing (XNET) - Develop and integrate the prime contractor and subcontractor's datalink solution - Participate in the Integrated Fires Test Campaign to test and evaluation IFPC Inc 2 operation within the Army's Integrated Air and Missile Defense architecture - Continue acquisition and delivery of IFPC IOT&E test assets - Accelerate software development for fielding of IFPC launchers for IFPC United States Forces Korea (USFK) Transformation in Contact (TIC) to facilitate early and continuous Soldier feedback to inform future system and doctrinal development
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 | 107.2 |
| FY2026 | Enacted | 117.8 |
| FY2027 | Request | 35.1 |
This activity is 100% of project EY7's FY2027 request and 20% of PE 0605052A'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.
