Budget figures
No FY2026 R-1/P-1 request line for this program element. The FY2026 President's Budget request workbook carries no FY2026 line for it; its last workbook figure is FY2024. The PB2026 J-book detail below does carry an FY2026 row for this line, recorded as zero. A workbook blank and a documented zero are different records, and this page shows both. An absent line is not by itself an ending — PB2026 renumbered program elements at scale across the services and defense agencies, so this work may continue under a different number. No successor is linked for this line: this site's program-lineage layer holds no keyed edge pointing forward from here. That is an absence in this site's lineage layer, not a finding about the program: if the J-book narrative on this page describes a realignment, it is quoted below in the document's own words, and this note does not restate it.
FY2026 award data is a partial year — USAspending reports awards on a rolling basis, and this corpus runs through 2026-09-04. why partial FY2026 data? →

The vertical scale does not start at zero: the baseline sits just below this program’s smallest year, so a low point on this line is not a small amount. Read the shape for direction and the grid below for the figures.
● actuals (line) · ○ enacted · ◇ request — gaps are editions the program is absent from, never interpolated.
| Series | FY16 | FY17 | FY18 | FY19 | FY20 | FY21 | FY22 | FY23 | FY24 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Actuals | $3.98M | – | – | – | $0 | $0 | $27.1M | $44.3M | $14.3M |

| Request | – | $0 | – | – | – | $36.6M | $23.2M | $7.31M |
blank = series not published for this year; – = absent from that edition.
Asked vs spent: the PB2023 book requested $23.2M for FY2023; the PB2025 book reported $44.3M as actual total obligation authority — $21.1M above the request. 44.3 − 23.2 = 21.1 USD millions — the compact figures above are rounded for reading.

Description
Mission — SPECTRUM WARFARE ATTACK CAPABILITY
The Angry Kitten Combat System (AKCS) program has developed electronic attack capabilities supporting USAF fighter and attack platforms. The current 4th generation electronic warfare (EW) pods have diminishing manufacturing sources and require advanced capabilities. The AKCS program developed prototype EW systems for 4th/5th generation aircraft that improve threat detection techniques, incorporate open system architecture, and advance rapid reprogramming capabilities. Funds were utilized to leverage existing EW pod components and develop a relevant EW system supporting fighter and attack platforms. No funding required in FY26. This program element may include necessary civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver weapon system capability. The use of such program funds would be in addition to the civilian pay expenses budgeted in program element 0605827F, 0605828F, 0605829F, 0605831F, 0605832F, 0605833F, 0605898F, 0606398F. In FY23 0.0M was expended for civilian pay expenses in this program element. In FY24, FY25 & FY26 0.0M is forecasted for civilian pay expenses in this program element. This program is in Budget Activity 7, Operational System Development because this budget activity includes development efforts to upgrade systems that have been fielded or have received approval for full rate production and anticipate production funding in the current or subsequent fiscal year.

No awards are linked to this program element at high or medium confidence — the budget→award crosswalk only asserts links it can defend, and this line has none yet.
