Budget Figures
FY2026 award data is a partial year — USASpending awards are reported on a rolling basis and the fiscal year does not close until September 30. why partial FY2026 data? →
| Fiscal year | Amount |
|---|---|
| FY24 | $1.97MR-1 TOA · PB2026 |
| FY25 | $2.06MR-1 TOA · PB2026 |
| FY26 | $0P-40 detail · PB2026 |
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.

blank = series not published for this year; – = absent from that edition.
Asked vs spent: the PB2024 book requested $2.05M for FY2024; the PB2026 book reported $1.97M as actual total obligation authority — $75.0K below the request. 1.974 − 2.049 = -0.075 USD millions — the compact figures above are rounded for reading.
Program Lineage
No predecessor/successor lineage was recorded for this program element — no FY-to-FY transfer into or out of this line was stated in the ingested J-books, and none was inferred from the program structure.
Description
Mission — Prompt Diagnostics
This is an amendment, prior verbiage had this funding pointing to National Technical Nuclear Forensics [NTNF]. The United States Nuclear Detonation [NUDET] Detection System [USNDS] is the system used for the collection, analysis, and evaluation of signatures from NUDETS in the Atmosphere or Space. This funding is to integrate the data from the seconds and third Space and Atmospheric Burst Reporting System [SABRS] sensors into the Integrated Correlation and Display System [ICADS] and to develop algorithms, codes, and tools necessary to enable detailed Subject Matter Expert analysis of SABRS data. This program element may include necessary civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver weapon system capability. The use of such programs 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 was expended for civilian pay expenses in this program element, and in FY24 $0 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.
Justification
Accomplishments & Planned Programs (1)
ABRS 2/3 Integration/ Offline Tools Development
Develop the algorithms, codes, and tools necessary to fully exploit the data collected by the SABRS-2 and SABRS-3 sensor suites located on geostationary hosts. This detection system records signals resulting from a nuclear detonations occurring in space. These event signature elements support weapon and event characterization analysis for the purposes of identifying the weapon classification, magnitude of the detonation [yield], and Reaction Time History [RTH] of the device. The unique signatures captured by these sensors provide undeniable evidence of NUDETs occurring in space.

No follow-the-dollar view — this program's awards haven't been crosswalked at high confidence (flows cover 17 of 1,741 programs). why coverage is partial? →
Awards
No awards are linked to this program element at high confidence — the budget→award crosswalk only asserts links it can defend, and this line has none yet.
Lobbying Mentions
No Senate LDA lobbying filing in the tracked data mentions this program element by code or alias.
Oversight
Department-level designation (not specific to this program)
GAO lists 5 high-risk areas for DOD as a whole. That designation covers the department, not National Technical Nuclear Forensics — no program-specific GAO finding for this line is in the ingested data. See the DOD oversight record.
No research dossier for this program — dossiers cover 50 of 1,741 programs, the largest fully J-book-detailed lines by FY2026 requested dollars. why no dossier here? →
