What the FY2027 request buys
Verbatim from the R-2A exhibit for project 67A051 of PE 1203906SF. 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.
Continue coordination across ITW/AA community for configuration change control, architecture management, and future initiative integration requiring additional effort to facilitate standardized review, assessment, coordination, control, planning, and baseline management of interface requirements to meet new United States Space Command Instruction 3422.01. Continue Project Tombstone to further develop agile scenario development capabilities, specializing in creating and maintaining test/training scenarios for MW, MD, SDA sensors and supporting systems/infrastructure. Tombstone will maintain the existing scenarios with the most up-to-date information, building new developmental and operational test scenarios and supporting updates to scenario building tools and test analysis tools to further increase warfighter effectiveness in MD/MW/SDA domains. Continue to Test and integrate additional data feeds into the ETL and analyze these feeds to improve or develop models/algorithms to increase effectiveness of multiple MW threat estimates and attack assessments. Continue Assessment Management System development and initial fielding across USSF/USAF Missile Warning (MW), Missile Defense (MD), and Air Warning (AW) systems. Effort requires modernization of antiquated health system requirements alignment across multiple organizations and includes modernization of Single Integrated Space Picture capabilities. Rapidly respond 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.
FY27 decrease is due to an FY26 program carryover and a one-time FY26 10 million plus-up for Single Integrated Space Picture (SISP) modernization.
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.

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 | 10.7 |
| FY2026 | Enacted | 20.3 |
| FY2027 | Request | 11.8 |
This activity is 47% of project 67A051's FY2027 request and 47% of PE 1203906SF'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.
