What the FY2027 request buys
Verbatim from the R-2A exhibit for project DV8 of PE 0607865A. 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 Software Improvement for Threat Evolution and AECM to address emerging threats and convergence with IBCS -Continue Combat ID enhancements to reduce fratricide potential -Continue Tasks 2, 6, and 7 activities to develop hardware and software to maintain PATRIOT system effectiveness in the field -Continue program development through system level modeling, simulation, integration and test support to address emerging threats and convergence with IBCS -Continue test program to include utilization of targets/threat simulators, flight simulator and modeling efforts to maintain system effectiveness -Continue supporting Integrated Fires Testing -Continue Ballistic Missile Defense System (BMDS) Integration Testing -Continue PATRIOT program M&S laboratory infrastructure maintenance as well as the conduct of M&S for hardware/software capability improvements -U.S. Government and contractor support to ensure force effectiveness is maintained to keep pace with evolving and emerging threats -Continue IBCS convergence and PCSB effort -Continue system integration activities, test and analysis, and threat analysis and modeling -Continue A-PNT prototype demonstration, test and evaluation activities, and data analysis
Funding increase due to economic assumptions.
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.

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 | 79.2 |
| FY2026 | Enacted | 56.9 |
| FY2027 | Request | 57.6 |
This activity is 100% of project DV8's FY2027 request and 26% of PE 0607865A'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.
