What the FY2027 request buys
Verbatim from the R-2A exhibit for project 657106 of PE 1206440SF. 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.
Integrate the mission unique software needed for C2, and sensor specific processing for NGG. Continue integration of multiple mission data processing applications onto the FORGE framework to support NGG-1 operations, NGG-2 launch.
The budget for this activity increases in FY2027 to support the program's operational support for NGG Space Vehicle 1 (NGG-1). Funding in FY2027 is required to continue the integration of mission data processing applications to support NGG-1 operations and NGG-2 launch.
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.
Finalize and integrate the mission unique software needed for C2 and sensor specific processing for NGG. Continue integration of multiple mission data processing applications into the framework to support NGG.
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 | 176.5 |
| FY2026 | Enacted | 80.0 |
| FY2027 | Request | 104.9 |
This activity is 16% of project 657106's FY2027 request and 14% of PE 1206440SF'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.
