Budget Figures
$15.0M one-time reconciliation. Discretionary change vs FY2025 enacted: -100.0%.
Two official figures, one label— reconciled below
Fiscal Receipts uses P-1/R-1 workbook total obligation authority (TOA) as the headline figure sitewide. The workbook TOA includes budget rows (such as advance procurement) that the R-2/P-40 J-book program line excludes. How the two bases relate →
FY26 Request · $15.0M TOA − $1.40M J-book line = 13.6M (15.0 − 1.4 = 13.6)
Figures in the sentence are rounded for reading; the parenthesised arithmetic is the same subtraction in USD millions, at the precision where it closes.
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 | $14.6M |
| FY25 | $572.7M |
| FY26 | $15.0M |
All series figures: R-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.
| Series | FY22 | FY23 | FY24 | FY25 | FY26 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Actuals | $0 | – | $14.6M | ||
| Enacted | – | $0 | $15.1M | $572.7M | |
| Request | – | – | $15.1M | $15.0M | $15.0M |
blank = series not published for this year; – = absent from that edition.
Asked vs spent: the PB2024 book requested $15.1M for FY2024; the PB2026 book reported $14.6M as actual total obligation authority — $442.0K below the request. 14.64 − 15.08 = -0.44 USD millions — the compact figures above are rounded for reading.

Description
Mission — National Security Innovation Capital
This program supports the Department's initiatives to Build Sustainable and Long-Term Advantage and Build a Resilient Joint Force Defense Ecosystem. This effort also supports Title 10 USC, Section 4811, requiring the Secretary of Defense to develop a national security strategy for the National Technology and Industrial Base (NTIB) that “reflects a prioritized assessment of the risks and challenges to the defense supply chain.” The mission of National Security Innovation Capital (NSIC) is to accelerate the development of dual-use hardware technologies critical to our national security and economic competitiveness. It is an initiative that enables dual-use hardware startups to advance key milestones in their product development by addressing the shortfall of private investment from trusted sources. NSIC's support enables companies to develop their technologies and products more rapidly. The resulting reductions in technical risk, along with the signaling of DoD interest in such dual-use companies, attracts trusted private investment that might otherwise sit on the sidelines. The overall result is more rapid and robust development of hardware in the U.S., the expansion of the defense industrial base and reduction of technology flow to adversaries. Areas of focus are autonomy, communications, power, sensors, and space.

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 National Security Innovation Capital — 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? →
