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.

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 | FY21 | FY22 | FY23 | FY24 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Actuals | $9.79M | – | $21.7M | $20.8M |
| Enacted | – | $0 | – | – |

blank = series not published for this year; – = absent from that edition.
Asked vs spent: the PB2023 book requested $0 for FY2023; the PB2025 book reported $21.7M as actual total obligation authority — $21.7M above the request. 21.7 − 0.0 = 21.7 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 — AMBIT - Pre-Auctioned SRF
In accordance with 47 USC 928 and the Commercial Spectrum Enhancement Act (CSEA) Title, P.L. 108-494, dated December 23, 2004, established the Spectrum Relocation Fund (SRF) to provide Federal agencies a mechanism to recover the cost associated with relocating spectrum dependent systems from spectrum bands which were auctioned for commercial purposes. The activities described meet the CSEA and SRF requirements for funding to support spectrum relocation and the Americas Mid-band Initiative Team (AMBIT). The Department of Defense (DoD) PRE-AUCTION AMBIT Transition Plan supports the relocation and sharing costs associated with the reallocation of an electromagnetic spectrum (EMS) band (in this case, 3450-3550 MHz), as required by the Enhanced 911 Services Act, 2004 (PL 108-494) and as amended by the Middle-Class Tax Relief Act, 2012 (PL 112-96), and defines the necessary RDT&E efforts to share EMS access for governmental and commercial use of the AMBIT band. When the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) auctions EMS bands to the commercial sector, previously reserved for governmental or military use, the DoD incurs costs as it must relocate to a new EMS band or share the auctioned band with commercial entities. Funds from the SRF are made available for DoD to pay relocation or sharing costs related to auctioned EMS bands, such as the costs of any modification or replacement of equipment, spares, associated ancillary equipment, software, facilities, operating manuals, training, or compliance with regulations that are attributable to relocation or sharing; the costs of all engineering, equipment, software, site acquisition, and construction, as well as any legitimate and prudent transaction expenses, including term-limited Federal civil servant and contractor staff necessary to carry out the relocation or sharing activities of a Federal entity, and reasonable additional costs incurred by the Federal entity that are attributable to relocation or sharing, including increased recurring costs. The SRF is funded with proceeds from FCC conducted auctions of spectrum licenses. SRF funds have an indefinite obligation period and remain available until expended (X Year). The DoD Chief Information Officer (CIO) executes oversight of DoD spectrum relocation and sharing efforts. PE 0303767A / AMBIT - Pre-Auctioned SRF has no funding request in FY 2026.

Follow the dollar
No follow-the-dollar view — this program's awards haven't been crosswalked at high confidence (flows cover 312 of 1,938 programs). why coverage is partial? →
Awards
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.
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 AMBIT - Pre-Auctioned SRF. No program-specific GAO finding for this line is in the ingested data. See the DOD oversight record.
Program dossier
No research dossier for this program — dossiers cover 50 of 1,938 programs, the largest fully J-book-detailed lines by FY2026 requested dollars. why no dossier here? →
