Budget Trajectory
The program's 2 summary figures for FY25 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.

One fiscal year of this program as published: 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 is too short to show a direction. 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.

Description

Mission Biotechnology for Materials - Dem/Val

This Project will create a pipeline to down-select promising biotechnology capabilities towards fielded novel solutions for warfighter needs by enabling prototyping at an efficiency and speed greater than is currently possible, through integration of "cutting-edge" instrumentation and robotics in laboratory and armament/warfare centers/depots testing & evaluation systems. T-BRSC will deliver biotechnology advanced evaluations that exhibit Defense supply chain resiliency by providing alternative means of sourcing critical materials (e.g. jet fuel precursors, energetic precursors, lubricants, epoxies, anti-fouling compounds, recovery of rare earth elements) for transition into service acquisition programs. T-BRSC's comprehensive DoD investment strategy will develop the necessary biotechnology pipeline from demonstration and prototyping to manufacture and fielding, to reduce the risk of technological overmatch by adversaries and enable U.S. military and national security objectives for the future. This will provide Supply Chain Resiliency to the U.S. military, while enabling U.S. industry to support military and national security objectives, as well as de-risking cross-cutting and dual-use technologies necessary to drive commercialization and promote the U.S. Bioeconomy to compete with adversaries. Work in this Project complements PE 0603386A (Biotechnology for Materials - Advanced Research) / CP7 (Biotechnology Demonstration and Evaluation). The cited work is consistent with the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering priority focus areas and the Army Modernization Strategy. Work in this Project is performed by Assistant Secretary of the Army for Acquisition, Logistics and Technology and the Army Research, Development, Test and Evaluation (RDT&E) Enterprise.

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 Biotechnology for Materials - Dem/Val — 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? →
