What the FY2027 request buys
Verbatim from the R-2A exhibit for project SS1 of PE 0605457A. 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.
Complete development of RIG 360 uplinker for PAC3/MSE interceptors. Receive Qualification Units to support testing. Conduct activities in support of RIG 360 PAC3/MSE Uplinker to include Operational Assessment and Milestone C. Ship initial RIG 360 developmental units to GUAM to support early operational capability.
Program is completing development and entering into test phase to support Milestone C.
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.
Continue development of RIG 360 uplinker for PAC3/MSE interceptors. Conduct activities in support of RIG 360 PAC3/MSE Uplinker to include developmental testing and Critical Design Review. Begin development of IFPC uplinker solution and procure development units to support integration and testing.
Continues development of RIG-360 PAC/MSE Uplinker. Receive delivery of 2 developmental units to support FY26 developmental testing.
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 | 69.1 |
| FY2026 | Enacted | 95.3 |
| FY2027 | Request | 32.8 |
This activity is 84% of project SS1's FY2027 request and 26% of PE 0605457A'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.
