What the FY2027 request buys
Verbatim from the R-2A exhibit for project 119 of PE 0605798D8Z. 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.
- Develop, design, and deliver trusted navigation and timing data, resilient augmented PNT systems, and receivers to enable trusted use of all viable non-GPS, space-based signals for PNT, which enables use of precise time and positioning from multiple constellations. - Mature and rapidly integrate MOSA-compliant sensors tailored to platforms and for domain-specific requirements to establish an alternative PNT technology and capability pipeline for end users. - Collect authoritative data and develop more accurate methods to provide navigation-quality magnetic anomaly mapping products for key areas of interest. - Develop and deliver methods to account for platform interference for magnetometers to enable rapid magnetic anomaly navigation transition to operations. - Begin experimentation and evaluation of hardware and software integration techniques of PNT technology, sensors, and solutions to meet platform mission critical and safety requirements.
The increase of $113.000 million between FY 2026 and FY 2027 reflects additional assessment/analysis of alternative PNT technologies.
Three years, and no five-year plan
An R-2A activity publishes the prior year, the current year and the budget year. The FYDP outyears exist at project and program-element level and are deliberately absent here rather than inferred. Estimate types are colored and never summed into one figure.
| Fiscal Year | Estimate Type | Amount ($M) |
|---|---|---|
| FY2027 | Request | 113.0 |
This activity is 100% of project 119's FY2027 request and 68% of PE 0605798D8Z'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.
