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.

Asked vs spent: the PB2024 book requested $64.9M for FY2024; the PB2026 book reported $62.8M as actual total obligation authority — $2.14M below the request. 62.8 − 64.9 = -2.1 USD millions — the compact figures above are rounded for reading.

Description
Mission — Strategic Mission Planning & Execution System (SMPES)
This budget line funds the SMPES PE. Legacy PEs 0101324F ISPAN and 0301112F NPES and NLCC DSS have been consolidated into one SMPES PE 0304100F. The SMPES PE is comprised of two Budget, Program, and Activity Codes (BPAC): the SMPES software acquisition program and the NLCC DSS software acquisition program. SMPES is an integrated enterprise solution software system providing the U.S. Air Force (USAF) and U.S. strategic nuclear forces' principal nuclear planning and analysis tools; including tools for consequence analysis and deliberate, adaptive, and crisis action planning for strategic deterrence. SMPES consolidates the following six independently managed programs into one system: 1) Mission Planning and Analysis System (MPAS); 2) Global Adaptive Planning Collaborative Information Environment (GAP-CIE); 3) NLCC DSS - Nuclear Command and Control (NC2) Conference Module; 4) NPES Recapitalization (NPES Recap); 5) Force Status Readiness (FSR); and 6) Force Survivability Analysis and Management (FSAM). MPAS provides comprehensive global strike, coordinated space and missile defense, and information operations capabilities to meet strategic deterrent and national security objectives. MPAS consists of multiple sub-applications, working together to provide senior leaders with a strategic planning capability to U.S. Strategic Command (USSTRATCOM) leadership and war planners. MPAS software is utilized to develop Joint Staff Level I - IV nuclear and conventional attack options for national and theater requirements, by conducting continuous agile software development for classified and unclassified networks. Located at USSTRATCOM, MPAS supports the Unified Command Plan and Nuclear Posture Review. GAP-CIE is a web-based, collaborative, joint operation planning (JOP) application that enables combatant commanders and strategic leaders to rapidly coordinate on course of action development. The GAP-CIE planning environment provides deliberative planning, crisis action planning, decision support tools, and the Global Situational Awareness Tool (GSAT) supporting combatant commanders' visualization of geospatial, temporal, and relational planning data. NLCC DSS develops and delivers software to directly support strategic leaders in time critical national events. NLCC DSS will improve situational awareness of threats to the U.S. and its Allies, aggregate strategic-level information, and provide response options in a common, resilient, and mobile visual display capability. Nuclear Planning and Execution System Recapitalization (NPES Recap) develops software to facilitate Nuclear Command and Control (NC2) adaptive planning and execution at fixed and mobile sites in real time. NPES Recap provides communication interfaces with software development, data management, software re-engineering, and operations to include requirements validation and training. Force Status Readiness (FSR) provides decision-makers and planners with real-time status of U.S. nuclear forces and stores information related to the U.S. Strategic Command (USSTRATCOM) NC2 mission enabling combatant commanders the ability to monitor the status of forces to include missiles, aircraft, submarines, and key personnel. Force Survivability Analysis and Management (FSAM) enables the Warning System Controller (WSC) to monitor the status of all USSTRATCOM assigned forces to include but not limited to: 1) tracking the location of hostile threat aircraft and missile systems; 2) processing and displaying potential U.S. force vulnerabilities; and 3) providing force management/force survival (FM/FS) analysis tools to USSTRATCOM senior leaders. This program element may include necessary civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver weapon systems capability. The use of such programs funds would be in addition to the civilian pay expenses budgeted in PE 0605833F. The FY2026 request was reduced by $0.073 million for Advisory and Assistance Services to promote efficiencies and advance the policies of the Administration in alignment with Executive Order 14222, "Implementing the President's Department of Government Efficiency Cost Efficiency Initiative.” 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.
Mission — NLCC Decision Support System
This budget line funds the National Leadership Command Capability (NLCC) Decision Support Service (DSS). NLCC DSS will develop and deliver software to directly support strategic leaders in time critical national events. NLCC DSS will improve situational awareness of threats to the U.S. and its Allies, aggregate strategic-level information, and provide response options in a common, resilient, and mobile visual display capability. NLCC DSS is developing conference modules that will directly support senior leaders with a common visual display to enhance national-level situational awareness and strategic-level decision making. The program includes the Nuclear Command and Control (NC2) Conference Module that will be integrated into the Strategic Mission Planning and Execution System (SMPES) enterprise architecture as well as at least two additional follow-on conference modules to support other mission areas and Combatant Commands. These additional conference modules are not expected to be a part of the SMPES enterprise architecture.
Mission — Strategic Mission Planning & Execution System
Strategic Mission Planning and Execution System (SMPES) will be the U.S. Air Force (USAF) and U.S. strategic nuclear forces' principal nuclear planning and analysis tool for accessing consequence analysis information and strategic deterrence. SMPES consolidates the following six independently managed programs into one system: 1) Mission Planning and Analysis System (MPAS); 2) Global Adaptive Planning Collaborative Information Environment (GAP-CIE); 3) Decision Support Service (DSS) - Nuclear Command and Control (NC2) Conference Module; 4) Nuclear Planning and Execution System Recapitalization (NPES Recap); 5) Force Status Readiness (FSR); and 6) Force Survivability Analysis and Management (FSAM).
