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.
Complete Integration of communication and cryptological equipment at Camp Blaz, Guam. Deliver and Integrate mission unique hardware for Next Generation Consolidated Relay Ground Station (CRGS) and complete integration testing. Complete of Facilities and Infrastructure build, completion of Antenna build and installation at RGS-A, and transition to test and delivery.
The budget for this activity slightly decreases in FY 2027 as the program transitions from major hardware installation activities to the final integration and activation.
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.
Complete antenna installation at Camp Blaz, Guam. Integrate communication and cryptological equipment. Conduct initial and final qualification tests for Relay Ground Station (RGS) antennas. Activate the Relay Ground Station - Asia (RGS-A) site.
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 | 54.7 |
| FY2026 | Enacted | 51.3 |
| FY2027 | Request | 47.9 |
This activity is 7.4% of project 657106's FY2027 request and 6.3% 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.
