What the FY2027 request buys
Verbatim from the R-2A exhibit for project 6606TG of PE 0605807F. 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 funding operational support for AFTC test activities. Efforts include aircraft operations, Flying Hour Program (FHP), contracted services, test equipment and supplies, general operations and maintenance, and utilities (list not all inclusive).
Funding increase of $83.959 million due to Long Range Kill Chain (+$90.527 million), reductions to contract services (-$1.158 million), phasing of adds for Hypersonics support from FY 2026, and adjustments to budget based on reductions, repricing, inflation.
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 | 14.9 |
| FY2026 | Enacted | 28.3 |
| FY2027 | Request | 112.3 |
This activity is 79% of project 6606TG's FY2027 request and 6.2% of PE 0605807F'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.
