What the FY2027 request buys
Verbatim from the R-2A exhibit for project FI3 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.
Sustain enterprise support services including installation access, facilities coordination, IT and network services, cybersecurity, and software licensing. Maintain acquisition, legal, and program management support needed to execute prototyping, contracting actions, and transition activities. Provide administrative, financial management, and data management functions to ensure timely execution of RDT&E resources. Support training, travel, and coordination activities required for technical reviews and stakeholder engagements. Enable efficient organizational transition by consolidating shared services across emerging technology portfolios.
Funding increase due to adjustments in IT shared support costs. Organization expenses will be shared in FY27. Final determination for the costs split will be determined up on final program and personnel adjudication between PAE Fires, CPE Autonomy, and the Pathway for Innovation organizations.
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.
Includes support agreements with the Garrisons (Fort Belvoir and Redstone Arsenal) for base operational support; Aberdeen Proving Ground; subject matter expertise in acquisition, program management and law; IT Network support; IT Software Licenses; computers/mobile devices (new and refresh); supplies; training; travel; etc.

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 | 18.6 |
| FY2026 | Enacted | 18.1 |
| FY2027 | Request | 19.5 |
This activity is 34% of project FI3's FY2027 request and 13% 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.
