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 PB2023 book requested $3.56M for FY2023; the PB2025 book reported $3.86M as actual total obligation authority — $300.0K above the request. 3.9 − 3.6 = 0.3 USD millions — the compact figures above are rounded for reading.

Description
Mission — Tactical Airborne Reconnaissance
This program element funds efforts to develop common technical and interoperability standards for current and future unmanned platforms, sensors, communications, and networking capabilities to achieve the required integration and interoperability of Unmanned Systems (UxS) represented in approved Naval Concept of Operations (CONOPS) in support of the Navy's Unmanned Campaign Framework. This program is funded under ADVANCED COMPONENT DEVELOPMENT AND PROTOTYPES because it includes all efforts necessary to evaluate integrated technologies and representative models or prototype systems in a high fidelity and realistic operating environment.
Mission — UxS Common Standards, Interoperability and Integration
The Naval Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) strategy employs a family of UAS to perform various missions in support of naval and joint service missions from forward bases/platforms and naval ships. In support of the Navy and Marine Corps' overall UAS strategy, this program develops common technical and interoperability standards for current and future unmanned platforms, sensors, communications, and networking capabilities to achieve the integration and interoperability of UAS represented in approved Naval Concept of Operations (CONOPS) in support of the Navy's Unmanned Campaign Framework. Leveraging fleet input based on current operations and informed by future operational plans, these efforts ensure the desired interoperability and integration of Unmanned Systems (UxS) throughout the battlespace is achieved. This program also establishes the common architecture, including command & control, for all unmanned systems to support and inform future CONOPS development. This effort provides for a cross program view of naval unmanned systems and is the entry point for DoN and other services to address commonality and interoperability opportunities. Specifically: - Provides studies and demonstrations in support of Naval UAS Family of Systems (FoS) CONOPS development. - Horizontally integrates across the Naval UAS FoS through the development of Naval Interoperability Profiles to achieve required unmanned capabilities and interoperability. - Provides support for development of common and interoperable UAS standards for use throughout the Department of Defense (DoD) and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). - Conducts CONOPS studies, demonstrations, advanced development/prototyping, exercises for vehicle control, targeting, and weapons, sensor and payload employment.
Justification
Accomplishments & Planned Programs (2)
Studies and Demonstrations
Studies and demonstrations to support CONOPS development from an interoperability perspective for effective integration of UAS. Develop a UAS architecture environment to allow for effective modeling and simulation of common UAS components in representative battlespace architectures.
Naval Interoperability & Standardization
Develop UAS common technical standards implementations to achieve desired capabilities and interoperability between manned/unmanned systems.

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 Tactical Airborne Reconnaissance. 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? →
