HitchAI read

This activity requests $15.6M in FY2027, 11% of project S700 — a new start with no prior-year and no current-year money. The R-2A exhibit describes it across FY2027, including what the FY2027 money is planned to buy.

New start

This activity requests $15.6M in FY2027 with no prior-year and no current-year funding. There is no incumbent line to compare it with — it did not exist before this President's Budget.

What the FY2027 request buys

Verbatim from the R-2A exhibit for project S700 of PE 1160431BB. 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.

FY2027 planned work

Scales the cloud-based, DevSecOps Platform to the SOF Enterprise to support technologists rapidly developing, securing, and operating software applications on unclassified and classified echelons. Enhances data pipeline and architecture development for the SOF Data Fabric, to connect siloed data sources on disparate networks, enabling data sharing and interoperability between the USSOCOM Enterprise, TSOCs and Components. Integrates AI development at the enterprise-level to aid in the integration of Large Language Models and development of agentic workflows.

FY2026 to FY2027 change

Increase of $15.612 million enables DevSecOps Platform, SOF Data Fabric, and Enterprise AI tool scaling, enhancement, and integration in the DC3 framework. The DevSecOps Platform portion of the DC3 program was initiated in prior years using funding from the SOF DE and UxSAI programs as early adopters.

Money

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.

This activity is 11% of project S700's FY2027 request and 3.6% of PE 1160431BB'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.
