What the FY2027 request buys
Verbatim from the R-2A exhibit for project HX2 of PE 0605232A. 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.
FY2027 funds continue the development and modernization of the LRHW GSE. Supports further modernization, development and demonstration of LRHW system components, to include training enhancements and prime contractor support for Ground and Flight test planning and execution. This funding also provides the systems with iterative survivability, reliability, and operational improvements based on evolving system requirements to ensure operational effectiveness as well as the design, development, and implementation of corrective actions identified in testing.
FY 2027 funding decrease due to a reduced requirement for emulators.
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.
FY2026 funds continue the development and modernization of the LRHW GSE. Supports further modernization, development and demonstration of LRHW system components, to include training enhancements and prime contractor support for Ground and Flight test planning and execution. This funding also provides the systems with iterative survivability, reliability, and operational improvements based on evolving system requirements to ensure operational effectiveness as well as the design, development, and implementation of corrective actions identified in testing.
FY 2025 Base funds continue the development of the LRHW battery GSE. Supports further development and demonstration of LRHW system components, to include training enhancements and prime contractor support for Ground and Flight test planning and execution. This funding also supports the operational maintainability of fielded equipment and implements changes to GSE resulting from test activities.
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 | 35.1 |
| FY2026 | Enacted | 37.7 |
| FY2027 | Request | 34.9 |
This activity is 7.8% of project HX2's FY2027 request and 7.8% of PE 0605232A'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 program-element page.
