HitchAI read

This activity requests $18.9M in FY2027, 75% of project C2B — a new start with no prior-year and no current-year money. The R-2A exhibit describes it across FY2027, including what the FY2027 money is planned to buy.

New start

This activity requests $18.9M in FY2027 with no prior-year and no current-year funding. There is no incumbent line to compare it with — it did not exist before this President's Budget.

What the FY2027 request buys

Verbatim from the R-2A exhibit for project C2B of PE 0605330A. 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

FY 2027 Research Development Test & Evaluation (RDT&E) funding will continue to support prototyping contracts with vendors and provide technical systems engineering support for Hardware & Software development of the SDR card, CSS card, DRH and Victory Audio Adapter.

FY2026 to FY2027 change

Funds transferred in FY27 from 0604805A project DH4 CMFF Radio Cards to project C2B Radio Modernization under a new Parent program element 0605330A / C2 Transport. Funds transferred in FY27 from 0604541A project BT5 Integrated Tactical Network/Enterprise Network to project C2B Radio Modernization under a new Parent program element 0605330A / C2 Transport.

Money

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 75% of project C2B's FY2027 request and 42% of PE 0605330A'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.
