What the FY2027 request buys
Verbatim from the R-2A exhibit for project C2E of PE 0605332A. 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 27 funds CI/CD of the Data capability. It will mature CI/CD processes to integrate emerging technology and scaled capability via algorithms, sensor data, legacy capabilities into the data layer baseline and award contract(s) to deploy the Data Layer capability across the Army. Additionally, it will continue analysis of commercial capabilities, evaluating their suitability and potential for inclusion in the NGC2 Data layer and compatibility with the NGC2 ecosystem. Team lead vendors will integrate viable capabilities into the data layer, ensuring the latest technology is available for use by Warfighters.
FY 2027 increase due to project established under a new funding structure to support NGC2 Data Layer efforts. Increase from prior funded year due to integration/deployment of additional data layer capabilities across the Army and the intent to accelerate deployment timelines.
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) |
|---|---|---|
| FY2027 | Request | 220.3 |
This activity is 89% of project C2E's FY2027 request and 72% of PE 0605332A'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 project page.
