## Summary

This activity requests $11.4M in FY2027, 14% of project A97, up 111% on FY2026. The R-2A exhibit describes it across FY2026–FY2027, including what the FY2027 money is planned to buy.

## What the FY2027 request buys

**FY2027 planned work.** The Army will continue to fund engineering and technical assistance after program initiation. The Army will fund program management support, core information technology requirements, Government matrix technical expertise, and shared services requirements via various Government contracts.

**FY2026 to FY2027 change.** Fiscal Year (FY) 2027 funding will support increase to Technical/Program Management and Support as all three LOEs increase in activity. The increase in contract actions, test events, and prototype issue and evaluation will necessitate increased program office oversight.

## Before the request year

**FY2026 plans — current year.** The Army plans to establish the CSR Product Office, focusing on staffing and establishing technical assistance contracts to ensure program success. The Army will fund initial engineering and technical assistance at program initiation. The Army will fund a Federally Funded Research and Development (FFRDC) agency for development and integration technical expertise. The Army will also fund program management support, core information technology requirements, Government matrix technical expertise, and shared services requirements via various Government contracts.

## Funding

| Fiscal Year | Estimate Type | Amount ($M) |
|---|---|---|
| FY2026 | Enacted | 5.4 |
| FY2027 | Request | 11.4 |
