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.
Complete Waveform Updates. Complete CH-53K & KC-130J Integration and Logistics Analysis. Continue MAGTAB software capability improvements. Execute and complete Follow-on T&E. Award contract for QTY 7 Lab Test/ Exercise Support Articles. Deliver MAGTAB software releases in first and third quarters.
Increase of $27.050 million from FY26 to FY27 is for investment of developmental updates to DI/MANGL software, NSA Commercial Solutions for Classified (CSFC)/National Information Assurance Partnership (NIAP) compliance hardware/software certification, security credentialling modernization and cloud migration.
FY2026: the year under way
Prior-year accomplishments and current-year plans from the same exhibit. Context for the FY2027 plan, not a series — an activity partitions its project exactly in the request year, but can under-cover it in earlier years.
Obtain Lead Time ADM Approval. Obtain Major Capability Acquisition Decision Approval. Complete MV-22 Prototype Install. Execute Waveform Updates. Continue CH-53K & KC-130J Integration and Logistics Analysis. Continue MAGTAB software capability improvements. Execute and complete Flight Demo Test/Report. Deliver MAGTAB software releases in first and third quarters.
Three years, and no five-year plan
An R-2A activity publishes the prior year, the current year and the budget year. The FYDP outyears exist at project and program-element level and are deliberately absent here rather than inferred. Estimate types are colored and never summed into one figure.
| Fiscal Year | Estimate Type | Amount ($M) |
|---|---|---|
| FY2025 | Actual | 38.3 |
| FY2026 | Enacted | 22.2 |
| FY2027 | Request | 49.3 |
This activity is 37% of project 0572's FY2027 request and 37% 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.
