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 | $7.92MR-1 TOA · PB2026 |
| FY25 | $16.1MR-1 TOA · 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.

Asked vs spent: the PB2024 book requested $32.9M for FY2024; the PB2026 book reported $7.92M as actual total obligation authority — $25.0M below the request. 7.9 − 32.9 = -25.0 USD millions — the compact figures above are rounded for reading.

Description
Mission — Operational System Development - Hq USAF Only
This activity builds upon the deployment and connectivity of solutions being delivered under the DAF Advanced Battle Management System (ABMS) Program Element 64003F. The DAF executed Task Force Sentinel Stand (TFSS) to assess cyber command relations (COMREL) at the tactical edge. TFSS proved warfighters have a critical need to take their endpoint devices to austere locations and still access needed classified data without High Assurance IP Encryptor devices. Connectivity will allow relevant mission data requirements to the edge and through space with diverse access paths to deter adversary intrusions. This will include the SD-WAN (Software-Defined Wide Area Network) routing layer to transport content across nodes through both government and commercial communication paths. Through this effort the DAF will deploy, connect, and test SD-WAN solutions in direct support of USAFE, Air Force Forces Generation (AFFORGEN), and Agile Combat Employment (ACE) initiatives, to allow Combat Air Forces to connect, move and maneuver, and recover safely, reducing risk to mission and life. DAF CIO's vision is to provide resilient, software-defined, transport and portable end points that create efficiencies and resiliency in transport by creating a "Black Fabric" that allows multiple providers to transport multiple classifications, rather than the historic and vulnerable approach of 1 fiber, 1 network, 1 classification. In FY2024, funding was allocated for activities to support deployment, connection and testing of an Operational EIT SD-WAN network in an "operational prototype" configuration, to demonstrate distributed edge intelligence and C2 "on-the-move" focusing on the PACAF region. Funding initiated deployment of network capability that could be scaled for employment across any DAF (or DoD) installation or weapon system. In FY2025 funds were allocated to further Operational SD-WAN activities to design, install, and configure hardware/software solutions focusing on the USAFE region. This is to provide Global Teleport (voice) services and alternate connectivity capabilities. 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 FY2024 $0.000M was expended for civilian pay expenses in this program element, and in FY2025 $0.000M 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)
EIT CONNECT
To ensure the efficient use of DAF investment in the tactical communications at the edge to execute ACE design and validate broader DAF level requirements that provide resilient, distributed, and secure connectivity—including mobile computing and multiple communications pathways (government and commercial space, cellular, wireless, fiber)—to mitigate adversary threats to our critical Enterprise Information Technology infrastructure during both normal/peacetime operations and in wartime operations. Initial deployments support PACAF/INDOPACOM and USAFE.

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 EIT CONNECT — 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? →
