What the FY2027 request buys
Verbatim from the R-2A exhibit for project FD5 of PE 0607145A. 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.
Projected Level of Effort (LOE) includes all Non-Recurring Engineering (NRE) and procurement activities associated with developing and integrated system design onto the AH-64E.
Decrease in funding due to the projected completion of all LOE and NRE activities associated with the development and integration of the OCG into the AH-64E platform.
FY2025–FY2026: what came before
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.
Once the contract has been definitized (projected Q4FY25) Non-Recurring Engineering (NRE), testing, and qualification Level of Effort (LOE) will commence. Initial scope includes baselining effort via SRR / IBR, design activity and reviews (PDR milestone). FY26 funding will allow completion of the necessary design, integration and qualification activities required to field the Oil Cooled Generator (OCG) capability as directed material solution to the current air-cooled generator as a safety mitigation.
Apache PMO will continue to work with the contractor and the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) supplier to conduct Integrated Baseline Review (IBR) and System Readiness Review (SRR) activities. Contractor will also continue limited material procurement to minimize risk of long lead items to the overall qualification program.
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 | 7.9 |
| FY2026 | Enacted | 42.0 |
| FY2027 | Request | 27.4 |
This activity is 89% of project FD5's FY2027 request and 89% of PE 0607145A'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.
