What the FY2027 request buys
Verbatim from the R-2A exhibit for project 675135 of PE 0801380F. 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.
- Test and deploy modernized constructive, campaign-level simulation capabilities to users across the simulation centers at Osan, Hickam, and other DoD installations - Continue integration with Air Operations Center modernization and wing-level applications - Accelerate deprecation of existing legacy modeling and simulation capabilities & modules - Test and integrate with emerging federations to include Next Gen Constructive and Joint Live Virtual Constructive
FY 2027 funding decreases due to planned Initial Operational Capability (IOC) in FY 2027, which drives reduced development 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.
- Tested and deployed modernized simulation capabilities delivering realistic behavior simulation for current and future Air Tasking Order (ATO) and C5ISR mission sets with a substantially modernized core Modeling and Simulation (M&S) engine around a common USAF framework compatible with Air Operation Center operations and modernization - Expanded on capability to plan and execute a simulated exercise scaled to the number of missions, mission types, threats, and number of partners required to meet the Combined/Joint Force Commander's (C/JFC) desired training objectives for AOC exercise participants - Replaced scenario generation capability delivering modernized capability for initial & mission qualification training (IQT & MQT) at 40+ sites - Integrated with other mission planning systems such as C2CORE, C2IMERA, Maven Smart Systems, etc. - Delivered a resilient platform tailorable to each user site - Continued to harden mission feedback capability delivering real time mission status updates to operators during large scale exercises
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 | 15.0 |
| FY2026 | Enacted | 16.2 |
| FY2027 | Request | 12.1 |
This activity is 100% of project 675135's FY2027 request and 52% of PE 0801380F'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.
