What the FY2027 request buys
Verbatim from the R-2A exhibit for project 657104 of PE 1206431SF. 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.
Funds will provide for continued PTW SFF design and Critical Design Review, deliver Engineering Development Models for testing and certification, conducting Production Readiness Reviews, End Cryptographic Unit procurements, and transportable Receive Suite integration.
FY 2027 funding decreased due to removal of GBS Small Form Factor excess funding
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.
Conduct SFF Critical Design Review, finalize and complete prototype of SFF TRANSEC modems to meet the Command, Control, and Communications Leadership Board (C3LB) mandate requiring the use of PTW/TRANSEC. Conduct Production Readiness Reviews. Deliver initial Engineering Development Models for Testing and Certification. 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.
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 | 1.0 |
| FY2026 | Enacted | 13.6 |
| FY2027 | Request | 10.2 |
This activity is 100% of project 657104's FY2027 request and 100% of PE 1206431SF'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.
