What the FY2027 request buys
Verbatim from the R-2A exhibit for project 643733 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.
Complete site preparation, surveys, installation, test and accreditation activities necessary to complete teleports within the mPOWER effort. Activities may include, but are not limited to program office support, studies, technical analysis, experimentation, prototyping, and activities that may leverage commercial and international opportunities.
Increase is due to increased integration costs associated with site infrastructure and installation efforts.
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.
Acquire two mPOWER teleports. Includes site preparation, surveys, installation, test and accreditation activities necessary to activate already procured teleports within the mPOWER effort. Activities may include, but are not limited to program office support, studies, technical analysis, experimentation, prototyping, and activities that may leverage commercial and international opportunities.
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 | 50.2 |
| FY2026 | Enacted | 8.2 |
| FY2027 | Request | 18.8 |
This activity is 23% of project 643733's FY2027 request and 12% 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.
