Budget Trajectory

The program's 3 summary figures for FY24 to FY26, plotted in fiscal-year order so the direction of travel is readable at a glance: this line ends lower than it starts. The points are the summary cards above, not a separate derivation; the table beside the chart carries each figure with its own citation.

Budget trajectory: one row per fiscal year, carrying the summary figure the sparkline plots. Every figure opens its own citation.
Fiscal year	Amount
FY24	$1.14MR-1 TOA · PB2026
FY25	$1.19MR-1 TOA · PB2026
FY26	$0P-40 detail · PB2026

Decade view — P-1/R-1 workbook TOA basis, shown compact in $B/$M (the workbook records USD thousands); each figure cites its own President's Budget edition

11 fiscal years of this program as published (FY2015–FY2025): a line through the actuals (filled dots), with the enacted (hollow circles) and request (diamonds) markers each edition reported. Read it for direction, not for precision — this program's actuals line rises across the span. The grid below is the same data as text, one cited figure per cell.

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.

Decade series values by fiscal year and President's Budget edition: one row per series (actuals, enacted, request), one column per fiscal year. Every figure opens its own citation.
Series	FY15	FY16	FY17	FY18	FY19	FY20	FY21	FY22	FY23	FY24	FY25
Actuals	$1.02M	$1.06M	$1.04M	$1.09M	$1.08M	$1.10M	$1.11M	$1.10M	$1.13M	$1.14M
Enacted		$1.10M	$1.08M	$1.14M	$1.12M	$1.14M	$1.16M	$1.14M	$1.18M	$1.19M	$1.19M
Request			$1.08M	$1.14M	$1.12M	$1.14M	$1.16M	$1.14M	$1.18M	$1.19M	$1.19M

blank = series not published for this year; – = absent from that edition.

Asked vs spent: the PB2021 book requested $1.16M for FY2021; the PB2023 book reported $1.11M as actual total obligation authority — $48.0K below the request. 1.11 − 1.16 = -0.05 USD millions — the compact figures above are rounded for reading.

No predecessor/successor lineage was recorded for this program element — no FY-to-FY transfer into or out of this line was stated in the ingested J-books, and none was inferred from the program structure.

Description

Mission — Surface ASW

Effective FY 2026, Project 1704 moves from PE 0603553N to PE 0603561N as part of the PE/BLI consolidation effort in the DoD Implementation Plan from the Commission on Planning, Programming, Budgeting, and Execution (PPBE) Reform Final Report in an effort to rapidly increase Navy Lethality in the Submarine and Surface Fleet. The objective of this Program Element (PE) is to pursue the development of technologies with the goal of improving Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) effectiveness to the point of rendering the enemy submarine irrelevant against U.S. and coalition forces. U.S. adversaries continue to develop asymmetric capabilities and capacities to deter, disrupt, or delay the entry of U.S. and allied naval forces, and pose a constant challenge as we implement the Maritime Strategy. These trends increase the threats to U.S. surface combatants, thus requiring a focused effort to identify the most promising ASW technologies through a process of discovery, assessment, experimentation, and analysis. Studies, experiments, and/or technology developments under this PE will seek to improve the ability of surface combatants to detect, classify, localize, and track submerged contacts and detect and defend against modern torpedoes. To achieve these objectives, it is essential to develop new ASW technologies. The products from these efforts will be provided to the Advanced Capability Build (ACB) program supporting the continuing improvement of the AN/SQQ-89A(V)15 Surface Ship ASW Combat System.

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 Surface ASW — 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? →
