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.
Continues support 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 areas of Cyberspace, Networks and Services, Electromagnetic Spectrum Operations and Tactical Radios. Cyber provides 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.
FY 2027 funding decrease due reduction of planned Battle Lab experimentation events.
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.
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, and Cyber areas of Cyberspace, Networks and Services, Electromagnetic Spectrum Operations and Tactical Radios. Cyber provides 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.
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.
| Fiscal Year | Estimate Type | Amount ($M) |
|---|---|---|
| FY2025 | Actual | 17.8 |
| FY2026 | Enacted | 11.1 |
| FY2027 | Request | 10.1 |
This activity is 33% of project 317's FY2027 request and 18% 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.
