What the FY2027 request buys
Verbatim from the R-2A exhibit for project B1K of PE 0605058A. 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.
- Accelerates iterative development and incremental release of weapon system enhancements planned for THAAD 27.1 and Future System Builds. - Accelerates delivery of critical capabilities to increase the THAAD Weapon System's threat space resulting in greater effectivity against advanced ballistic/non-ballistic threats. - Accelerates iterative development of IBCS THAAD Integration to execute and deliver in accordance with program defined milestones and objectives. - Provides upgrades and modernization efforts to THAAD development labs in order to support current and future THAAD weapon system development.
The increase from FY 2026 to FY 2027 is the result of the transfer of efforts from the Missile Defense Agency to the Army.
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) |
|---|---|---|
| FY2027 | Request | 848.6 |
This activity is 92% of project B1K's FY2027 request and 81% of PE 0605058A'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.
