What the FY2027 request buys
Verbatim from the R-2A exhibit for project DJ9 of PE 0605054A. 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.
- Support Increment 1 Capability delivery in CY 2027 - Monitor, coordinate, and synchronize program execution for the GDS components and inform Senior Leaders - Identify, track, and manage risks that could impact interoperability and planned delivery schedules - Continue integration efforts of a system-of-systems integrated defense plan, shared sensor measurement data, and dynamic and consistent threat evaluation - Monitor planned test events and developmental progression for GDS components - Continue development of a system of systems cyber strategy to meet incremental capability deliveries.
The FY 2027 funding increase is the result of no funding in the FY 2026 RDTE base budget.
FY2025: 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.
- Full staffing of the JPO - Integration, coordination, and synchronization efforts of the Guam Defense System across INDOPACOM, Joint Staff, OSD, US Army, US Navy, US Air Force, and MDA - Deliver acquisition reporting requirements
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 | 8.8 |
| FY2027 | Request | 10.2 |
This activity is 13% of project DJ9's FY2027 request and 6.9% of PE 0605054A'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.

Every R-2A line of this project, largest FY2027 request first. Linked where the activity has enough of its own narrative to carry a page; the rest are shown in full on the project page.
