Budget Figures
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? →

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.

blank = series not published for this year; – = absent from that edition.
Asked vs spent: the PB2024 book requested $9.88M for FY2024; the PB2026 book reported $5.67M as actual total obligation authority — $4.21M below the request. 5.7 − 9.9 = -4.2 USD millions — the compact figures above are rounded for reading.

Description
Mission — Rapid Prototyping Program
The RDER program accelerates Joint Warfighting Concept (JWC) experimentation. JS J-7 provides RDER leadership with independent JWC alignment and assessment, and integration into the overall JWC Experimentation Campaign. PE 0604331J, Rapid Prototyping Program is an essential JS J-7 component of an integrated RDER program. The JS contribution is complementary of OUSD R&E RDER field experimentation planning and execution, not duplicative. JS J-7 is designated by OUSD R&E to lead and manage the RDER JWC Working Group to accomplish the functions above, and to provide data management for the overall RDER effort. The JS support is integral and embedded. 1. The RDER program accelerates JWC experimentation. 2.

Mission — : Rapid Defense Experimentation Reserve
Rapid Defense Experimentation Reserve (RDER) facilitates rapid force modernization. The program was established to encourage multi-service experimentation through a campaign of learning. Services, Agencies, and other participating organizations identified “best of breed” existing capabilities developed among the DoD prototyping programs and executed approved projects through large-scale experiments to refine the Joint Warfighting Concept (JWC). The JS J-7 leads the RDER JWC Working Group for the overall program. The Working Group provided four functions for the overall effort: 1. Assess JWC alignment for RDER proposed experiments as part of triage and proposal approval process 2. Assess RDER prototyping and field experimentation during execution. 3. Provide verification of JWC alignment for completed RDER experiments and provide validation of RDER experimentation impact to concept key operational problems, tasks, and imperatives. 4. Throughout RDER experiment lifecycle, provide data management, analytics, and archiving for the RDER campaign of learning. The JS support is integral and embedded: 1. The RDER program accelerates JWC experimentation. 2. JS J-7 provides RDER leadership with independent JWC alignment and assessment, and integration into the overall JWC Experimentation Campaign. 3.

Rapid Defense Experimentation Reserve
Experimentation outcomes will be designed to validate required capabilities enabling the JWC by evaluating and integrating prototyped technologies in operationally relevant, multi-domain environments.

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 Rapid Prototyping Program — 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? →
