What the FY2027 request buys
Verbatim from the R-2A exhibit for project 0653 of PE 0605864N. 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 maintain and operate mission essential/core test support aircraft associated with aviation platform and weapon system test and evaluation. Fund civilian labor, travel, transportation, equipment, supplies, communication, equipment maintenance, purchased service contracts, annual utilities and any costs necessary to manage and sustain Naval Test Wing Pacific operations.
Reduction of $0.895 million for test support aircraft maintenance to address higher priority OSW requirements.
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 | 27.0 |
| FY2026 | Enacted | 27.4 |
| FY2027 | Request | 26.5 |
This activity is 17% of project 0653's FY2027 request and 5.6% of PE 0605864N'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.
