What the FY2027 request buys
Verbatim from the R-2A exhibit for project 0572 of PE 0605217N. 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 Gen5B Crypto Modernization 2 and SINCGARS 3.2. Complete Gen6 Crypto Mod, ACC 2.x, SATURN ed. 5 and MUOS 3.x. Continue Gen6 Crypto Mod 2 and Quantum Resilience (QR). Attain Gen6 NSA and Gen6 JITC Certification and Obtain Gen6 S/W ECP Approval. Deliver Gen6 Ver 006 Beta Release.
Increase of $7.404 million from FY26 to FY27 is due to ARC-210 Gen6 Crypto Modernization 2 S/W and H/W development to meet expanded NSA security certification requirements and mandated need date.
FY2026: the year under way
Prior-year accomplishments and current-year plans from the same exhibit. Context for the FY2027 plan, not a series — an activity partitions its project exactly in the request year, but can under-cover it in earlier years.
Complete software development and NSA driven crypto algorithm changes for Gen5A TSV 4.x, Crypto Modernization, SINCGARS, SATURN. Complete VMF/Data Link MIL Standard Evolution. Continue Gen6 Crypto Mod, ACC 2.x, SATURN ed. 5 and MUOS 4.x. Execute Gen5B Crypto Modernization 2, SINCGARS 3.2. Continue Gen6 Crypto Mod 2 Quantum Resilience (QR). Attain Gen5 NSA and Gen5 JITC Certification. Deliver Gen5 Ver 009 Release.
Three years, and no five-year plan
An R-2A activity publishes the prior year, the current year and the budget year. The FYDP outyears exist at project and program-element level and are deliberately absent here rather than inferred. Estimate types are colored and never summed into one figure.
| Fiscal Year | Estimate Type | Amount ($M) |
|---|---|---|
| FY2025 | Actual | 21.2 |
| FY2026 | Enacted | 20.2 |
| FY2027 | Request | 27.6 |
This activity is 21% of project 0572's FY2027 request and 21% of PE 0605217N'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.
10 activities in project 0572
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 program-element page.
