What it is
- PILOT FISH (program element 0603525N) is a U.S. Navy research-and-development program funded in the Research, Development, Test and Evaluation, Navy account.
- The program is classified: its budget justification states that the details are classified per Executive Order 13526, Sec. 1.4(a), and are submitted annually to Congress in the classified budget justification book.
- Because the justification is classified, no public description of the program's specific mission, projects, or deliverables is available in the unclassified budget exhibits.
Why it matters
- The program's total funding rises from $982,324 thousand (about $982 million) in FY2025 to $1,218,486 thousand (about $1.22 billion) requested for FY2026.
- That is a year-over-year increase of $236,162 thousand (about $236 million) from FY2025 to FY2026.
- In FY2024 the program recorded actual spending of $877,003 thousand (about $877 million), so funding has grown steadily across the three years despite the classified nature of the work.
- The entire FY2026 request of $1,218,486 thousand is discretionary funding; the program element carries no reconciliation (mandatory) request for FY2026.
Key players
- The program is run by the U.S. Navy, with funding drawn from the Research, Development, Test and Evaluation, Navy appropriation.
- No external players, offices, or partners are named in the unclassified record because the program's justification is classified per Executive Order 13526.
