What the FY2027 request buys
Verbatim from the R-2A exhibit for project 3334 of PE 0605518N. 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.
- Continue to deliver critical technical guidance to assist Program Office in decision making and oversight where specialized expertise is unavailable within Program Office resources. Efforts include but are not limited to design studies & evaluations; problem definition, analysis, requirement development, and implementation; risk assessments utilizing modeling & simulation techniques; and the identification, tracking, and resolution of systems engineering issues related to technical interfaces & technology insertion/design improvements. - Continue to provide necessary hardware and software associated with digital & model-based engineering efforts, security compliance unique to the CPS mission, and other network operations. - Continue development of Milestone C documentation to support program progression.
FY 2027 decrease of $4.002 million is due to a decrease in cybersecurity support and program management support and analysis.
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.

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 | 24.6 |
| FY2026 | Enacted | 23.0 |
| FY2027 | Request | 19.0 |
This activity is 1.4% of project 3334's FY2027 request and 1.4% of PE 0605518N'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.
6 activities in project 3334
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 program-element page.
