What the FY2027 request buys
Verbatim from the R-2A exhibit for project 2924 of PE 0605863N. 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.
NSWC PHD continues to conduct management, operation, maintenance and repair/upgrade of critical ship HM&E systems to ensure safe operation of the Self Defense Test Ship (SDTS). Maintain, operate, configure and upgrade the TSRCS and associated infrastructure in support of T&E requirements onboard the SDTS to support the Air Warfare Ship Self Defense Enterprise test requirements as well as surface ship combat system developmental test programs. Continue to work outstanding maintenance and repair efforts and complete necessary repairs to clear any outstanding DFS.
Increase of $.976M from FY 2026 to FY 2027 due to OPTEMPO of SDTS in FY 2027. Increase from two (2) events planned in FY 2026 to six (6) events planned in FY 2027, projected to require increased HM&E maintenance costs to ensure safe operation of the SDTS.
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.
NSWC PHD continues to conduct management, operation, maintenance and repair/upgrade of critical ship HM&E systems to ensure safe operation of the SDTS. Maintain, operate, configure and upgrade the Test Ship Remote Control System (TSRCS) and associated infrastructure in support of T&E requirements onboard the SDTS to support the Air Warfare Ship Self Defense Enterprise test requirements as well as surface ship combat system developmental test programs.

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 | 15.3 |
| FY2026 | Enacted | 14.3 |
| FY2027 | Request | 15.3 |
This activity is 100% of project 2924's FY2027 request and 9.0% of PE 0605863N'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.
