What the FY2027 request buys
Verbatim from the R-2A exhibit for project 664111 of PE 1206399SF. 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.
Execute robust and repeatable System-of-Systems Engineering (SoSE) processes to establish a configuration-managed enterprise technical baseline and standardize the Space Force architecture to support operational priorities such as space superiority and C3BM. Baseline 24+ critical enterprise governance documents to standardize and control interfaces for 4+ classified weapon systems, ensuring their integration across 6+multi-domain conflict scenarios. Work with industry and professional standards societies to promote and drive adoption of Modular Open Systems Architecture (MOSA) standards and achieve unity of effort with commercial market developments. Deliver and maintain an enterprise Integrated Master Schedule (eIMS) for all acquisitions across USSF. This master schedule provides the SAE with enterprise-wide visibility into critical giver/receiver dependencies, serving as the primary tool to identify cross-program schedule risks, deconflict resources, and enforce accountability to ensure integrated capabilities are delivered on time. Perform integration assessments for USSF programs to assess risks to the USSF architecture and inform acquisition decisions. Drive integration requirements with the Chief Strategy and Resourcing Officer (CSRO), USSF Program Executive Officers (PEOs)/Portfolio Acquisition Executives (PAEs), and mission partners to mitigate enterprise risks to mission integration required for executing the Joint Space Operations Plans (JSOP). Coordinate with Space Training and Readiness Command (STARCOM) to establish integrated end-to-end mission capability and mission thread assessments and test plans. Provide standards and expertise to 8+ PEO/PAE portfolios across foundational enterprise, capability areas. Deliver and integrate 8+ enterprise Defensive Cyber Operations for Space (DCO-S) and 7+ crypto standards to the USSF enterprise to protect against cyber threats. Provide the digital modeling, simulation, and analysis tools and expertise needed to support effective integration across the USSF enterprise. Prototype and evolve cloud data architecture, machine learning, and artificial intelligence integration to enhance warfighter operations and maintain space superiority. Provide space spectrum management to maintain strategic orbital positions, mitigate operational interference, and ensure USSF and allied satellites can reliably communicate. Support debris management to protect critical space-based capabilities and ensure the long-term sustainability of space activities. Operate SCRM monitoring and membership in the Space Industrial Base Working Group (SIBWG) to provide continuous monitoring of the space supply chain, set standards to increase domestic production capabilities, and defend against the threat of Foreign Ownership, Control, or Influence (FOCI) to ensure the integrity and reliability of USSF assets. Provide resource prioritization analysis and recommendations to USSF and mission partner leaders.
FY 2027 increased due to the realignment and augmentation of funds to scale delivery of mission engineering and integration products into enterprise governance, deliver integration requirements and enterprise standards, supercharge the U.S. defense industrial base and enforce the space enterprise technical baseline.
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.
Execute the repeatable SoSE processes across SSIO enabling a configuration-managed Enterprise technical baseline that standardizes configurations across the Space Force architecture. Prioritize and expand efforts for operational priorities such as space superiority and C3BM. Document, standardize, and control interfaces between 9 critical systems. Analyze change requests and their potential impact on mission execution. Transition technical baseline management to Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) to more effectively assess the impact of change requests across the architecture. Align acquisition strategies across USSF. Perform independent assessments, as directed by the SAE, to evaluate program maturity, assess integration risks to the USSF architecture, and inform acquisition program decisions. Drive integration requirements with CSRO and PEO's to mitigate enterprise risks that jeopardize mission integration required for executing the Joint Space Operations Plan. Address emerging enterprise requirements with CSRO for disposition across programs. Establish integrated end-to-end mission capability and mission thread test plans. Develop a comprehensive portfolio assessment and program integration scorecard that the SAE will use to assess and enforce enterprise integration.
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) |
|---|---|---|
| FY2026 | Enacted | 20.3 |
| FY2027 | Request | 54.6 |
This activity is 24% of project 664111's FY2027 request and 24% of PE 1206399SF'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.
