> **NEW START.** $42.4M requested in FY2027 with no prior-year and no current-year funding.

## Summary

This activity requests $42.4M in FY2027, 12% of project A34 — 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.

## What the FY2027 request buys

**FY2027 planned work.** FY 2027 funding will enable competition and evaluation of emerging technologies, such as Low Collateral Defeat (LCD) and alternate sensing solutions, to inform capability set fielding. Funding will support acquisition of additional test and evaluation legal documentation for both Rapid Acquisition Authority (RAA) deployment and Materiel Release and will provide data to support U.S Army Operational Evaluation Command (OEC) evaluation reporting, which aids in the development of Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures (TTP) for C-sUAS systems.

**FY2026 to FY2027 change.** FY 2026 to FY 2027 funding increase is due to FY 2027 being the initial year of funding for this effort.

## Funding

| Fiscal Year | Estimate Type | Amount ($M) |
|---|---|---|
| FY2027 | Request | 42.4 |

> Prior, current and budget year only — an R-2A activity carries no five-year plan. It sums exactly into its project in the request year and not necessarily in any other.
