## Summary

This activity requests $19.0M in FY2027, 100% of project 541, down 0.5% on FY2026. The R-2A exhibit describes it across FY2025–FY2027, including what the FY2027 money is planned to buy.

## What the FY2027 request buys

**FY2027 planned work.** Will maintain and develop advanced methodologies, tools and M&S to execute integrated systems-level analysis in critical performance areas of weapon system lethality, cyber resilience, vulnerability to EW threats, Soldier lethality and survivability, human systems integration (HSI), sustainment, and system performance (e.g., mobility). Will conduct experiments and analyses to generate authoritative component and system-level and system-of-systems performance data used to inform the Army's transformation and readiness decisions supporting concept development, research, development, acquisition, testing and evaluation (T&E), materiel fielding and sustainment. For T2COM, will enable Army Continuous Transformation through objective analytic support to experimentation, Soldier touchpoints, cost/performance trades, risk assessments and decision-enabling studies for the Army's priority systems and technologies (e.g., aviation, ground vehicle, protection, autonomy, unmanned aerial systems (UAS)/counter-UAS, ammunition, fires, A-PNT, propulsion, power and energy). For FCC, will conduct analyses and provide performance data in support of the development and assessment of future concepts.

**FY2026 to FY2027 change.** Funding decrease reflects economic adjustment

## Before the request year

**FY2026 plans — current year.** Will develop methodologies, tools and M&S to provide integrated systems-level analysis to inform designs, fielding and operations decisions. Will conduct analyses to generate authoritative component and system-level performance data that inform the Army's transformation and readiness decisions across the life cycle from concept development through science and technology research, acquisition, testing and evaluation (T&E), operations and sustainment. For T2COM, FCC, and DEVCOM Centers/ARL, will continue to enable the delivery of the Army 2030 and design of the Army 2040 through objective analytic support to experimentation, Soldier touchpoints, cost/performance trades, risk assessments and decision-enabling studies for Army priority systems and technologies (i.e., counter small unmanned aerial system, air and missile defense, next generation command and control, and human-machine integrated formations).

**FY2025 accomplishments.** Developed methodologies, tools, and models and simulations (M&S) to provide integrated materiel performance and engineering analyses for Artificial Intelligence and Cyber and Electromagnetic Activities to provide an analytic foundation to deliver the Army of 2030 and design the Army of 2040. Continued to provide data collection/management and analysis, analytic software applications, and database development, maintenance, and integration, as well as M&S for AFC experimentation. Continued to conduct technology performance and engineering analyses serving as AFC's repository for the body of evidence concerning developmental Army technologies and systems. Analyzed Army energy supply capacity and the difference between supply capacity versus future energy demands. For AFC and DEVCOM Centers/ARL, implemented analytical capabilities to inform system cost/ performance trades, technology development decisions, weapons/systems performance and effectiveness analyses, system technical and schedule risk assessments, business case analyses, requirements definition, and reliability, availability, and maintainability studies. Provided certified characteristics and performance data to AFC and DEVCOM Centers/ARL in support of technical studies and Wargames. For DEVCOM Centers/ARL, continued to provide relevant data and results to prototype technology developers, evaluators, senior decision makers, and force-on-force modelers to inform design, mature technologies, and reduce risk.
