What the FY2027 request buys
Verbatim from the R-2A exhibit for project 643726 of PE 1206760SF. 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.
Continue development of software focused on initial capability delivery and develop fixes for discrepancies identified in test and evaluation activities in order to achieve IOC. Continue development to FOC delivery. Implement system resiliency, cyber resiliency, and crypto standards necessary to operate in the contested space and cyber domains.
Increase due to continued software development to deliver the initial prototype, increased support required through test and evaluation activities, and implementation of system resiliency, cyber resiliency, and crypto standards.
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.

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 | 15.5 |
| FY2026 | Enacted | 34.0 |
| FY2027 | Request | 58.4 |
This activity is 79% of project 643726's FY2027 request and 37% of PE 1206760SF'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.
