## What the FY2027 request buys

**FY2027 planned work.** In FY27 CNA will support Navy analytic priorities by conducting studies, providing on-site analytic support to 30 Navy organizations and will provide detailed analyses for two wargames and exercises. CNA will maintain its analytic competencies through a combination of line-funded and sponsor-funded work in the following areas: Analysis of Defense, National Security, and Maritime Operation. This area includes work that helps operating military forces, develop or evaluate new tactics; test or employ new equipment, or plan, conduct, or learn from real-world operations. Analysis of Defense, National Security, and Maritime Policies, Strategies and Doctrine. This area includes broad studies intended to help DoW develop, promulgate, evaluate, or refine new policies, strategies, or doctrine. Analysis of Defense, National Security, and Maritime System Requirements and Acquisition. This area includes work that addresses the potential utility of new technologies; the relative need for new systems or capabilities, or the costs and consequences of acquiring a particular system or family of systems. Analysis of Defense, National Security, and Maritime Resources. This area includes studies or analyses of issues involving workforce management, sustainment, medical, readiness and logistics, or installations and infrastructure. Analysis of Defense, National Security and Maritime Program Planning. This area includes analyses intended to help the military, formulate coherent and executable long-term plans covering the evolution of its missions; the integration or improvement of its capabilities; the acquisition of needed supplies or services; or the future size and shape of its forces.

**FY2026 to FY2027 change.** The funding decrease from FY 2026 to FY 2027 due to a reduction of analytic support services.
