What the FY2027 request buys
Verbatim from the R-2A exhibit for project 676009 of PE 0901226F. 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.
Complete the program's first spiral development with the delivery of a Minimally Viable Product simulation. Conduct the test and evaluation of the first version of the software. Continue the requirement collection for subsequent spirals.
Increase due to FY27 activities. FY27 funding increase integrates the Next Gen Campaign modeling environment with the WarMatrix wargaming tool, completing one of the three OSW Next Gen Campaign tool suite initiatives.
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.
Fund civilian positions for PMO office. Develop and approve acquisition strategy aligned with OSW goals and objectives. Complete the requirements collection for the first spiral of software development and start collecting requirements for the second spiral. Award a contract to a system integrator to begin development activities. Enhance the unclassified agile software development environment on the Joint Modeling, Simulation and Analytics Gateway.
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 | 0.0 |
| FY2026 | Enacted | 3.5 |
| FY2027 | Request | 10.0 |
This activity is 12% of project 676009's FY2027 request and 12% of PE 0901226F'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.

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.
