What the FY2027 request buys
Verbatim from the R-2A exhibit for project S725 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.
Continues ECPs for the NGHH, NGMP, and HF platform modernization systems into an overarching, predominately government-owned, high frequency capability that provides LPI/D capabilities. Continue Resilient Waveform development. Continue United States Naval Special Warfare Command Unmanned Systems/Autonomous and Remotely Controlled System (NSWUxS/ ARCS).
Decrease of $3.517 million due to completion of Tactical Inline Network Encryptor (INE), High Throughput Data Device (HTDD), and Mission Ops Engineering Change Proposals. High Throughput Data Device (HTDD) ECP will be completed in FY 2026.
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.
Continue ECPs for the NGHH and NGMP, to include development of MUOS to transition from legacy UHF tactical satellite waveforms. Continues High Frequency (HF) platform modernization of two complementary systems into an overarching, predominately government-owned, high frequency capability that provides LPI/D capabilities. Continues Resilient Waveform development. Continues development of High Throughput Data Device, and United States Naval Special Warfare Command Unmanned Systems/Autonomous and Remotely Controlled System (NSWUxS/ ARCS).

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 | 19.6 |
| FY2026 | Enacted | 24.1 |
| FY2027 | Request | 20.6 |
This activity is 74% of project S725's FY2027 request and 4.7% 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.

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 project page.
