What the FY2027 request buys
Verbatim from the R-2A exhibit for project P001 of PE 0605126J. 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.
Continue FY 2026 plans.
Economic adjustment reflecting increasing costs of equipment and specialized analytical support.
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.
Continue to expand efforts to develop joint integrated air and missile defense (IAMD) requirements solutions via the IAMD Capability Portfolio Management Review and the Joint Integrated Air and Missile Defense Portfolio Priority List. Support OSW efforts pertaining to requirements development and fielding of the Golden Dome for America architecture. Execute fully informed tabletop exercise to identify promising capabilities, concepts, and tactics pertaining to implementation of Golden Dome for America.
Continue to expand efforts to develop joint integrated air and missile defense (IAMD) requirements solutions via the IAMD Capability Portfolio Management Review and the Joint Integrated Priority List. Conduct IAMD Study to explore military utility assessment of future IAMD architectures.
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 | 13.4 |
| FY2026 | Enacted | 15.1 |
| FY2027 | Request | 15.6 |
This activity is 100% of project P001's FY2027 request and 22% of PE 0605126J'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.
