What the FY2027 request buys
Verbatim from the R-2A exhibit for project 3067 of PE 0605513N. 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 efforts will focus on continued maturation of the Medium Unmanned Surface Vehicle (MUSV) prototype build, leveraging commercial solutions. In parallel, the initial MUSV Program of Record (PoR) EDM delivery is scheduled for late Q2 FY2027, followed by EDM installation, integration, and testing in Q4 FY2027. These activities will include implementation of all required cybersecurity and cryptographic capabilities. Additionally, FY2027 efforts will support the continued maturation of the ORIENT-like solution developed under DIU initiatives, with the next iteration planned for delivery in Q4 FY2027. This solution will provide resilient C4I capabilities designed to support mass deployment of RAS platforms and ensure secure communications in denied, degraded, intermittent, and low-bandwidth (DDIL) environments.
FY27: +$22.6M to support expansion of MUSV and sUSV production and amplified requirements under PAE RAS
FY2026: the year under way
Prior-year accomplishments and current-year plans from the same exhibit. Context for the FY2027 plan, not a series — an activity partitions its project exactly in the request year, but can under-cover it in earlier years.
Although Project 3067 was zeroed in PB26, the accomplishments below reflect work executed under PB25 funding, with some activities continuing into early FY26.
Three years, and no five-year plan
An R-2A activity publishes the prior year, the current year and the budget year. The FYDP outyears exist at project and program-element level and are deliberately absent here rather than inferred. Estimate types are colored and never summed into one figure.
| Fiscal Year | Estimate Type | Amount ($M) |
|---|---|---|
| FY2025 | Actual | 20.1 |
| FY2026 | Enacted | 0.0 |
| FY2027 | Request | 22.6 |
This activity is 14% of project 3067's FY2027 request and 8.9% of PE 0605513N'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.
