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.
FY 2027 funds continue the testing cycle with JFC-7, and Army Ground Support Equipment (GSE) qualification testing. JFC-7 requirements include planning, data collection infrastructure, and full execution of the test. Army GSE qualification testing requirements include continued test planning, and test execution for developmental tests, such as climatic testing, electromagnetic testing, mission-based cybersecurity testing, and similar type DT qualification testing.
FY 2027 funding decrease due to completing the JFC-6c Ops Demo with FY26 funding.
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.
FY 2026 funds continue the testing cycle with JFC-6, which will also serve as the Operational Demonstration (Ops Demo) required of MTA RF programs, and Army Ground Support Equipment (GSE) qualification testing. JFC-6 requirements include planning, data collection infrastructure, and full execution of the test. Army GSE qualification testing requirements include continued test planning, and test execution for developmental tests, such as climatic testing, electromagnetic testing, mission-based cybersecurity testing, and similar type DT qualification testing.
FY 2025 Base funds continue the testing cycle with JFC-5 requirements and full execution of the test to include solider TDY, LRHW system transportation costs, and developmental testing. JFC-5 requirements include the final planning and data collection infrastructure. Developmental testing includes: Cyber Table Tops, Cyber Vulnerability Penetration Assessment Planning, Electromagnetic Environmental Effects (E3) planning, execution and reporting.
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 | 53.3 |
| FY2026 | Enacted | 116.4 |
| FY2027 | Request | 44.3 |
This activity is 9.9% of project HX2's FY2027 request and 9.9% 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.
