## What the FY2027 request buys

**FY2027 planned work.** Complete integration and test for WSF-M SV-2. Complete launch preparation activities, including Day-in-the Life and Integrated Crew Exercises. Conduct SV-2 Launch and Early On-orbit Test Activities and post-launch calibration/validation activities. Conduct on-orbit trending analysis factory reach-back and operational support for SV-1 and SV-2. 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.

**FY2026 to FY2027 change.** FY 2027 decrease due to completion of WSF-M SV-2 build activities.

## Before the request year

**FY2026 plans — current year.** Conduct on-orbit trending analysis factory reach-back and operational support for SV-1. Complete integration and test for WSF-M SV-2 and prepare for launch. Initiate launch preparation activities, including Day-in-the Life and Integrated Crew Exercises. Conduct SV-2 pre-ship review ahead of shipment of SV-2 to payload processing facility for launch processing.
