What the FY2027 request buys

Verbatim from the R-2A exhibit for project 317 of PE 0605326A. 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 planned work

Funding in FY27 ensures continuation of requirement determination, documentation, and integration in support of all FCC CDIDs. This will include areas of Maneuver, Soldier, Robotic, and Engineer capability development, Air Defense and Artillery formations, Sustainment watercraft and maneuver support vehicles, intelligence systems and sensors, Cyberspace, Networks and Services, Electromagnetic Spectrum Operations and Tactical Radios. Cyber provide support to the Army's Cyber priorities and Cross Functional Team efforts. Funding ensures highly technical requirements development expertise for the Multi-Domain Task Force (MDTF). This ensures use of highly technical expertise to provide quick response systems engineering support for Multi Domain Operations, MDTF, and other high-priority study areas.

FY2026 to FY2027 change

FY 2027 funding decrease reflects economic adjustments.

Before the request year

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 plans — current year

Funding in FY26 ensures continuation of requirement determination, documentation, and integration in support of all FCC CDIDs. This will include areas of Maneuver, Soldier, Robotic, and Engineer capability development, Air Defense and Artillery formations, Sustainment watercraft and maneuver support vehicles, intelligence systems and sensors, Cyberspace, Networks and Services, Electromagnetic Spectrum Operations and Tactical Radios. Cyber provide support to the Army's Cyber priorities and Cross Functional Team efforts. Funding ensures highly technical requirements development expertise for the Multi-Domain Task Force (MDTF). This ensures use of highly technical expertise to provide quick response systems engineering support for Multi Domain Operations, MDTF, and other high-priority study areas.

FY2025 accomplishments

Funding in FY25 ensures continuation of requirement determination, documentation, and integration in support of all FCC CDIDs. This will include areas of Maneuver, Soldier, Robotic, and Engineer capability development, Air Defense and Artillery formations, Sustainment watercraft and maneuver support vehicles, intelligence systems and sensors, and Cyber Army Capability Managers (ACM) areas of Cyberspace, Networks and Services, Electromagnetic Spectrum Operations and Tactical Radios. Cyber ACMs provide support to the Army's Cyber priorities and Cross Functional Team efforts. Funding ensures highly technical requirements development expertise for the Multi-Domain Task Force (MDTF). This ensures use of highly technical expertise to provide quick-response systems engineering support for Multi Domain Operations, MDTF, and other high-priority study areas.

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.

This activity is 65% of project 317's FY2027 request and 36% of PE 0605326A'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.
