What the FY2027 request buys
Verbatim from the R-2A exhibit for project BY8 of PE 0607148A. 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.
FY 2027 research, development, test and evaluation (RDT&E) funds in the amount of $54.043 million supports the continued enhancement of system survivability and the development of advanced electronic protection software techniques for DDREX Capability Sets #3 and #4. This funding enables developmental electronic protection software demonstrations on the tactical hardware associated with DDREX Capability Sets #3 and #4.
FY 2027 funding increase due to the ramp of up of software development for advanced electronic protection techniques and additional integration work required for DDREX Capability Sets #3 and #4.
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.
FY 2026 funding of $18.086 million supports the continuation of the survivability improvement effort and enhanced electronic protection software techniques for the design and development of DDREX Capability Sets #3 and #4.
FY 2025 research, development, test and evaluation (RDT&E) funds in the amount of $16.496 million supports the start of the survivability improvement effort for the design and development of DDREX Capability Sets #3 and #4. This will require the development and integration of an additional high performance data processing board to the DDREX's processor assembly.
Three years, and no five-year plan
An R-2A activity publishes the prior year, the current year and the budget year. The FYDP outyears exist at project and program-element level and are deliberately absent here rather than inferred. Estimate types are colored and never summed into one figure.
| Fiscal Year | Estimate Type | Amount ($M) |
|---|---|---|
| FY2025 | Actual | 17.7 |
| FY2026 | Enacted | 18.1 |
| FY2027 | Request | 54.0 |
This activity is 59% of project BY8's FY2027 request and 59% of PE 0607148A'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.
