What the FY2027 request buys
Verbatim from the R-2A exhibit for project FL7 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.
Maintain essential civilian labor supporting rapid prototyping, integration, and transition activities under the PAE structure. Funding enables program management, engineering coordination, financial execution, acquisition support, and administrative services required for timely delivery of prototypes and preparation of capabilities for transition to enduring solutions.
Funding increase due to an economic adjustment.
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.
These funds will be used for core civilian labor in support of rapid prototyping and delivery of residual combat capability to enable long range precision fires, air and missile defense, robotics, ground, aviation, Soldier, cyber and C4ISR missions.

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 | 13.2 |
| FY2026 | Enacted | 12.0 |
| FY2027 | Request | 12.3 |
This activity is 100% of project FL7's FY2027 request and 8.3% 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.
