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.
Continue to develop requirements, acquisition strategy, and architecture for enabling PTW over commercial constellations. Award of a contract to enhance the systems developed in the PTW over WGS effort to enable PTW over commercial constellations. 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.
Increase is due to the ramp up post contract award as well as finalization of the requirements and acquisition strategies to enable PTW over commercial capabilities.
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 | 1.1 |
| FY2026 | Enacted | 31.2 |
| FY2027 | Request | 63.1 |
This activity is 77% of project 643733's FY2027 request and 40% 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.
