What the FY2027 request buys
Verbatim from the R-2A exhibit for project DM2 of PE 0606118A. 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.
The FY 2027 AIAMD Software Development and Integration program continues agile software development, updates and integration, developmental testing, requirements verification of the software builds, operational testing, and integration activities for baseline capabilities to include Patriot, IFPC, LTAMDS, and migration of Forward Area Air Defense Command (FAAD) and AMDWS capabilities into IBCS. SW Development supporting IBCS THAAD Integration (ITI). Enables radar measurements on Integrated Fires Control Network (IFCN). Increases data sharing, situational awareness, and engagement coordination. The program also continues expansion of SW development capacity to meet increasing integration demands and enable multiple 1-N capability items to be worked concurrently as defined by emerging joint Warfighter priorities. Development and testing in FY 2027 contribute to the Guam Defense System (GDS) architecture including countering advanced threats and capability integration with LTAMDS, IFPC, Sentinel A4, RIG-360, and ALPS. In addition, this funding supports the Software Development Environment to include facilities and infrastructure required to develop AIAMD software.
FY 2027 funding increase reflects software development supporting IBCS THAAD Integration (ITI) and infrastructure and continued increase in SW development activities to support Warfighter 1-n priorities.
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.
The FY26 AIAMD Software Development and Integration program continues agile software development, updates and integration, developmental testing, requirements verification of the software builds, operational testing, and integration activities for baseline capabilities to include Patriot, IFPC, LTAMDS, and Forward Area Air Defense Command and Control (FAAD C2) Convergence into IBCS. The program also expands development capacity to meet increasing integration demands and enables multiple 1-N capability items to be worked concurrently as defined by emerging joint Warfighter priorities. Development and testing in FY26 contributes to the Guam Defense System (GDS) architecture including countering advanced threats and capability integration with LTAMDS, IFPC, Sentinel A4, RIG-360, and ALPS. In addition, this funding supports the Software Development Environment to include facilities and infrastructure required to develop AIAMD software.
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) |
|---|---|---|
| FY2026 | Enacted | 196.9 |
| FY2027 | Request | 252.3 |
This activity is 39% of project DM2's FY2027 request and 39% of PE 0606118A'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.
4 activities in project DM2
Every R-2A line of this project, largest FY2027 request first. Linked where the activity has enough of its own narrative to carry a page; the rest are shown in full on the program-element page.
