What the FY2027 request buys
Verbatim from the R-2A exhibit for project 1110 of PE 0605450M. 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 2027 Product Development funding will conclude the Engineering, Manufacturing and Development (EMD) efforts for PASM initial prototypes and associated container. All assets required to support Early Operational Capability will be produced and delivered. PASM launcher modifications will be completed. Final platform modifications to support PASM EOC will be completed. Spiral development efforts for PASM Increment 1 will commence. PASM Increment 1 design will be finalized. Production of test assets required to complete delta qualification will commence.
Funding increase from FY 2026 to FY 2027 due to completing the EOC EMD efforts, as well as ramping up warhead, launcher and aircraft integration efforts. Additionally, funding increase from FY 2026 to FY2027 due to accelerated design of PASM Increment 1, associated launcher and any platform integration deltas.
FY2026: the year under way
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.
FY 2026 Product Development funding will continue Engineering, Manufacturing and Development (EMD) efforts. Knowledge Points covering Preliminary and Critical Design Reviews will be conducted to confirm design required to support an Early Operational Capability (EOC). Initial prototype assets will be manufactured. Conduct design development for the PASM warhead and include electronic safe and arm device (ESAD). The PASM Launcher design will be finalized and initial launcher modifications will commence. Additionally, the platform integration solution will be finalized and initial platform modifications will commence.
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 | 14.2 |
| FY2026 | Enacted | 39.5 |
| FY2027 | Request | 117.5 |
This activity is 62% of project 1110's FY2027 request and 62% of PE 0605450M'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.
