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 $89.6M for FY2024; the PB2026 book reported $86.1M as actual total obligation authority — $3.50M below the request. 86.1 − 89.6 = -3.5 USD millions — the compact figures above are rounded for reading.

Description
Description — Marine Group 5 UAS
The Medium Altitude Long Endurance (MALE) program of record originated from the Marine Air Ground Task Force (MAGTF) Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) Expeditionary (MUX) program to address capability requirements identified in the October 2016 MUX ICD and to meet the National Defense Strategy objectives through USMC Force Design Requirements by enabling operations inside of an adversary's weapons engagement zone. MALE, the first element of the MUX Family of Systems (FoS) employs a Block 5 MQ-9A airframe. The MQ-9A system is being re-purposed to provide persistent long-range stand-off multi-sensor reconnaissance, surveillance and targeting as well as airborne network extension and data relay of Command, Control, and Communications (C3) capabilities to MAGTF Stand-In-Forces (SIF) such as the Marine Littoral Regiment. Additionally, the MALE platform capabilities will enhance the multi-domain awareness and survivability of Joint Task Forces, consisting of distributed naval forces, and provide a critical node in area of operations kill webs during expeditionary, Joint and Combined Operations. The first production lot (FY22) was procured through a USAF contract for a QTY of (8), all Aircraft have been delivered. The remaining 10 Aircraft have been transferred from previously USAF procured production inventory.

Contractor concentration
No concentration index is published for this line. This line's high-confidence links do not clear the floor for a published concentration index — at least 3 awards across 2 contractor families holding positive obligations, with positive net linked dollars. An index below that floor is a fact about the sample, not about the market. Whatever further links this line carries are medium-confidence, and what each medium evidence path does and does not establish is set out in the methodology. Both bases are in the downloadable warehouse.
Lobbying mentions
No Senate LDA lobbying filing in the tracked data mentions this program element by code or alias.
