What project SF200 buys
This project supports integration, design, development, rapid prototyping, and test to provide improved capabilities to include, but not limited to: more robust performance in situational awareness (SA); intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR), weapons, avionics; Special Operations Forces (SOF) communications; defensive/survivability systems; interoperability; speed and maneuverability; mission deployment and improved reliability and maintainability of the CV-22 platform. The CV-22 Osprey is a SOF variant of the V-22 vertical medium lift, multi-mission aircraft. The CV-22 provides long-range, high speed, all weather, infiltration (infil), exfiltration (exfil), and resupply of SOF teams in hostile, denied, and politically sensitive areas that allows the Joint Force to be more agile and responsive. These capabilities are not currently provided by other existing SOF vertical lift aircraft. Funding supports the following CV-22 requirements: CV-22 SOF Common Terrain Following (TF)/Terrain Avoidance (TA) Silent Knight Radar (SKR), Development, Reliability Improvements, and Test Aircraft Flying Hours and Maintenance.

|---|---|---|
| FY2025 | Actual | 14.5 |
| FY2026 | Enacted | 3.3 |
| FY2027 | Request | 16.8 |
| FY2028 | Outyear | 42.8 |
| FY2029 | Outyear | 37.3 |
| FY2030 | Outyear | 39.3 |

3 accomplishments / planned programs
The R-2A exhibit — the only level of the budget that describes work that has not happened yet. Activities carry the prior, current and budget year only, no five-year plan. Coverage is partial across the corpus, so count activities, never total them.
FY2027 planned work Continues to develop a federated AbMN hardware and software system to receive, process, display, and disseminate battlespace information. Begins efforts to update Radio Frequency Countermeasures (RFCM) capabilities to meet threats in a contested environment.
FY2026 to FY2027 change Increase of $6.100 million supports continuing development of AbMN capability and updating RFCM survivability capability.
FY2026 plans — current year Continue to develop a federated AbMN hardware and software system to receive, process, display, and disseminate battlespace information.
