Budget figures
$8.02M discretionary + $144.0M one-time reconciliation. Discretionary change vs FY2025 enacted: -0.5%.
Two official figures, one label— reconciled below
Fiscal Receipts uses P-1/R-1 workbook total obligation authority (TOA) as the headline figure sitewide. The workbook TOA includes budget rows that the R-2/P-40 J-book program line excludes — advance procurement in an ordinary year, and in FY2026 the one-time reconciliation appropriation as well. Each row below names the one it is. How the two bases relate →
FY26 Request · $152.0M TOA − $8.02M J-book line = 144.0M (152.0 − 8.0 = 144.0) — $144.0M of one-time FY2026 reconciliation money accounts for this gap — not advance procurement
Figures in the sentence are rounded for reading; the parenthesised arithmetic is the same subtraction in USD millions, at the precision where it closes.
FY2026 award data is a partial year — USAspending reports awards on a rolling basis, and this corpus runs through 2026-09-04. 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 PB2021 book requested $7.99M for FY2021; the PB2023 book reported $0 as actual total obligation authority — $7.99M below the request. 0.0 − 8.0 = -8.0 USD millions — the compact figures above are rounded for reading.

Description
Mission — Future Interceptor
This funding line is directly aligned to the Army Air and Missile Defense Modernization Priority. The Future Interceptor will defend against current and emerging air, missile, and hypersonic threats in the lower tier of the ballistic missile defense battlespace. The Future Interceptor increases Air and Missile Defense (AMD) capability through improved velocity, altitude, and maneuverability characteristics. Requested funding continues Virtual Missile Model (VMM) development to support and establish concept definitions. Products from the Future Interceptor concept definitions phase supports advanced technology efforts for maturation that may be implemented in the Future Interceptor. The FY 2026 request for Future Interceptor includes $8,019 thousand of discretionary and $144,000 thousand of mandatory (reconciliation) for a total of $152,019 thousand. The mandatory funds execute competitive contracts with industry to begin capability maturation to achieve a Total Effector Rapid Prototyping to deliver to the Warfighter in the shortest time possible. Number of competitive contracts will be determined by responses received to RFI for interest in Future Interceptor development. Further information for this reconciliation request is provided in Section 20003 of the Reconciliation Exhibit. The FY 2026 request for Future Interceptor includes $8,019 thousand of discretionary and $144,000 thousand of mandatory (reconciliation) for a total of $152,019 thousand.

Further information for this reconciliation request is provided in Section 20003 (Missile Defense) of the Reconciliation Exhibit. The FY 2026 request was reduced by $0.015 million for Advisory and Assistance Services to promote efficiencies and advance the policies of the Administration in alignment with Executive Order 14222, "Implementing the President's Department of Government Efficiency Cost Efficiency Initiative."

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 Future Interceptor. 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? →
