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 PB2021 book requested $36.7M for FY2021; the PB2023 book reported $36.7M as actual total obligation authority — $67.0K below the request. 36.66 − 36.73 = -0.07 USD millions — the compact figures above are rounded for reading.

Description
Mission — NATO AGS
This program funds the U.S. support to the Alliance Ground Surveillance (AGS) system, a North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) program. AGS is an airborne ground surveillance capability that provides continuous, wide area surveillance in all weather conditions. It provides NATO decision makers with near real time information and situational awareness concerning friendly, neutral and opposing ground and maritime forces to support mission planning and execution, including force protection and targeting. All NATO nations have access to AGS collection data, creating opportunities for burden sharing with the processing and exploitation of Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) data. The AGS program includes both air and ground segments. The air segment consists of five (5) air vehicles based on unique exportable configurations of the United States Air Force Global Hawk air frame, Navy Triton command and control architecture and the U.S. Multi-Platform Radar Technology Insertion Program (MP-RTIP) radar. The U.S. integrated a new Maritime Moving Target and Inverse Synthetic Aperture Radar capability into the MP-RTIP radar for NATO AGS. The ground segment consists of fixed site and transportable/mobile ground stations for air vehicle Command and Control (C2), data exploitation and distribution. Operations and continuing In-Service Support is funded through the NATO Military Commanders' Capability Package within the NATO Security Investment Program (NSIP). This program element may include necessary civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver NATO AGS. 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 FY2025 $0.0M was expended for civilian pay expenses in this program element, and in FY2026 $0.0M 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.

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 NATO AGS. 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? →
