What the FY2027 request buys

Verbatim from the R-2A exhibit for project 645620 of PE 1203010SF. 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

Supporting an enterprise DEE architecture. Continue to prototype, develop, test and establish the Secure Facility, networks and systems, tools, and applications hosted on hybrid cloud platform for cloud-computing and database storage. Integrating with USAF Joint Simulation Environment (JSE). Continue integration and leverage Operational Test, Training & Integration (OTTI) capabilities to support readiness generation across space and Joint enterprise. Developing Special Access Program (SAP) capabilities and integrating critical security elements. Continue executing contracts and funding for existing capabilities, networks, accreditation, DEE, digital tools, MBSE, and modeling and analysis. Continue Special Access Program (SAP) DEE development and support for Cyber operations, POM support planning, Kill Chain analysis, digital source selection, enterprise integration, intelligence, and penetration testing. Continuing critical security elements across all domains to include facility, networks, DEE, systems, and tools. Security involves physical security, information technology, and information assurance. Delivering System Resiliency. Continue rapid response to implement system resiliency and situational awareness necessary to operate in the contested space domain. Activities may include, but are not limited to, program office support, studies, technical analysis, experimentation, risk reduction, prototyping, and activities that may leverage commercial, U.S. Government partnership, and international opportunities to respond to existing and emerging adversarial threats with speed and agility.

FY2026 to FY2027 change

Increase of $0.813 million is to support further maturation of an enterprise DEE architecture.

Before the request year

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.

FY2026 plans — current year

Supporting an enterprise DEE architecture. Begin down-selection and transition of discrete MVP efforts to an enterprise DEE architecture. Mature MVP capabilities at multiple classification levels. Integrating with USAF Joint Simulation Environment (JSE). Continue integration and leverage Operational Test, Training & Integration (OTTI) capabilities to support readiness generation across space and Joint enterprise. Leverage existing contract vehicles to enable DE and Integration for prototype infrastructure that allow for assessments and capability solutions. Continue to prototype, develop, test and establish the Secure Facility, networks and systems, tools, and DEE hosted on Hybrid cloud platform for cloud-computing and database storage. Developing Special Access Program (SAP) capabilities and integrating critical security elements. Continue executing contracts and funding for existing facilities, networks, accreditation, DEE, digital tools, MBSE, and modeling and analysis. Continue Special Access Program (SAP) DEE development and sustainment to support Cyber operations, POM support planning, Kill Chain analysis, digital source selection, enterprise integration, intelligence, and penetration testing. Continuing critical security elements across all facilities, networks, DEE, systems, and tools. Security involves physical security, information technology, and information assurance. Delivering System Resiliency. Continue rapid response to implement system resiliency and situational awareness necessary to operate in the contested space domain. Activities may include, but are not limited to, program office support, studies, technical analysis, experimentation, risk reduction, prototyping, and activities that may leverage commercial, U.S. Government partnership, and international opportunities to respond to existing and emerging adversarial threats with speed and agility.

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 83% of project 645620's FY2027 request and 83% of PE 1203010SF'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.
