Description — War Consumables

Funds procure all system components: decoys, canisters, and explosive cartridges to deploy the decoys. Items Less Than 5M: The Rocket-Assisted Take-Off (RATO) motor is a solid propellant rocket used to provide launching thrust to the Air Force Subscale Aerial Target (AFSAT) drone (BQM-167). Support items include reefing line cutters, igniters, and initiators. The RATO and the associated support items are single use items. Procurement quantities can change based on negotiated options/pricing bands and available funding, in accordance with Title 10, U.S Code Section 2308 BUY-TO-BUDGET ACQUISITION.

Combatant commanders' requirements for Operational Plans influence these objectives, which are updated throughout the year. Funds may be used to address production Diminishing Manufacturing Sources (DMS)/Material Shortages/Obsolescence issues through studies, bridge buys, life of type buys, supplier/parts replacement, to include electronic components used commercially and in short supply, qualification and lab activities to preserve future production capabilities and capacities. The FY 2026 request was reduced by $.289 million for Advisory and Assistance Services to promote efficiencies and advance the policies of the Administration in alignment with Executive Order 14222, Implementing the President's Department of Government Efficiency Cost Efficiency Initiative.
