# Government Program Management

**R-2A activity** of project FB3 — Robotics Architecture  
**Program element:** 0605053A — Ground Robotics  
**Component:** U.S. Army · **Budget Activity:** 5  
**Vintage:** President's Budget PB2027  
**Canonical URL:** https://hitchintel.com/programs/0605053A/FB3/a7  
**Parent:** https://hitchintel.com/programs/0605053A

## Summary

This activity requests $17.6M in FY2027, 9.2% of project FB3, down 11% 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.** Activities include Government engineering, financial management, acquisition planning, risk assessment and mitigation, contract preparation, and operations support necessary for development of Robotic systems.

**FY2026 to FY2027 change.** Decrease in manpower requirement from FY 2026 to FY 2027 is attributed to reduced management of development activities as products transition to production in FY 2027.

## Before the request year

**FY2026 plans — current year.** Activities include Government engineering, financial management, acquisition planning, risk assessment and mitigation, contract preparation, and operations support necessary for development of Robotic systems.

## Funding

| Fiscal Year | Estimate Type | Amount ($M) |
|---|---|---|
| FY2026 | Enacted | 19.8 |
| FY2027 | Request | 17.6 |

> Prior, current and budget year only — an R-2A activity carries no five-year plan. It sums exactly into its project in the request year and not necessarily in any other.
