What it is

Offensive small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (sUAS) (0208201F) is an Air Force research & development line funded in the Research, Development, Test and Evaluation, Air Force account. Its J-book detail breaks the line into 1 project.

What changed

No FY25→26 comparison — endpoints unavailable or on different bases.

Who gets it

No company is linked to this line. Award records do not carry the program element, so the crosswalk is silent here — why.

Budget trajectory

The program's 3 summary figures for FY24 to FY26, plotted in fiscal-year order: this line ends higher than it starts. The points are the summary cards above, not a separate derivation; the table beside the chart carries each figure with its own citation.

Budget trajectory: one row per fiscal year, carrying the summary figure the sparkline plots. Every figure opens its own citation.

Decade view

P-1/R-1 workbook TOA basis, shown compact in $B/$M (the workbook records USD thousands); each figure cites its own President's Budget edition

One fiscal year of this program as published: a line through the actuals (filled dots), with the enacted (hollow circles) and request (diamonds) markers each edition reported. Read it for direction, not for precision — this program's actuals line is too short to show a direction. The grid below is the same data as text, one cited figure per cell.

● actuals (line) · ○ enacted · ◇ request — gaps are editions the program is absent from, never interpolated.

Decade series values by fiscal year and President's Budget edition: one row per series (actuals, enacted, request), one column per fiscal year. Every figure opens its own citation.
Series	FY26
Request	$4.99M

blank = series not published for this year; – = absent from that edition.

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 — St System Developement

(U) The Offensive sUAS (O-sUAS) effort identifies requirements addressing capability gaps in the AF ability to rapidly generate a family of sUAS capable of executing Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR), Electronic Warfare, and precision strike in permissive, contested, and denied environments. Funding supports operationalizing the AF UAS Strategy and force-present emerging systems, including exquisite, attributable, and expendable platforms, for collaborative operations within permissive, contested, and denied environments. O-sUAS funding also supports innovation activities to include studies, analyses, requirements definition, and quick-reaction capability prototypes/demonstrations to accelerate planning for technology transition, technology insertion and future acquisition programs such as but not limited to Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs. 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, and 0606398F. In FY 2025 0.000 million was expended for civilian pay expenses in this program element, and in FY 2026 0.276 million is forecast for civilian pay expenses in this program element. Items requested in FY26 are representative but not limited to the system development and program support. Items developed during execution may change based on critical equipment needed to support current Air Force mission requirements. Due to the rapidly changing threat environment, the acquisition program manager has the authority to redirect funding as necessary to meet current slated and emerging requirements for operational units. O-sUAS funding also supports innovation activities to include studies, analyses, requirements definition, intelligence and data management activities, and quick-reaction capability prototypes/demonstrations to accelerate planning for technology transition, technology insertion and future acquisition programs. This program is in Budget Activity 6, RDT&E Management Support because this budget activity includes research, development, test and evaluation efforts and funds to sustain and/or modernize the installations or operations required for general research, development, test and evaluation.
