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.

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.

Asked vs spent: the PB2024 book requested $8.33M for FY2024; the PB2026 book reported $8.12M as actual total obligation authority — $211.0K below the request. 8.18.3 = -0.2 USD millions — the compact figures above are rounded for reading.

Description

Mission CATAPULT INFORMATION SYSTEM

Catapult is a private cloud technology-based data analytics platform that provides a continuously augmented, real-time repository of data ingested from a variety of sources including government agencies, combatant commands, intelligence reports and open sources. The Catapult data lake and Attack the Network Tools Suite are adaptable to any National Defense Strategy mission problem set and provide national-level capabilities for data and information discovery, access, aggregation, correlation, visualization, analysis, sharing, and distribution for users from the strategic level to the tactical edge.

Mission CWMD CROSS-CUTTING TECHNICAL AND INFORMATION SCIENCES

This project enables the Defense Threat Reduction Agency's (DTRA’s) Catapult Information System Program to design, develop, test and deliver mission capabilities that support the ability to aggregate and analyze data on global emerging threats, threat actors and threat networks. Catapult allows DTRA to rapidly develop, engineer, test and deploy analytical tools, data science methodologies and software applications in support of the warfighter. Catapult and its associated Attack the Network Tool Suite (ANTS) integrates data sources that support the detection and identification of emerging threats, threat networks and actors, command and control, operations, and engagement for neutralizing, attacking and defeating both current and emerging counter weapons of mass destruction (CWMD) threats. Catapult uses its RDT&E funding to meet user needs using tools and services that reside in Catapult, a cloud technology-based data analytics platform developed and delivered by DTRA. Catapult provides an extensible continuously augmented, near real-time updated data analytic platform of information regarding threats and threat networks along with a set of discovery, access, aggregation, correlation, analysis and sharing tools and services. Catapult is fully operational and accredited on the Secret Internet Protocol Router Network (SIPRNet) and Joint Worldwide Intelligence Communications System (JWICS). The Catapult architecture pulls from more than 930 data sources on SIPRNet and more than 290 data sources on JWICS. Catapult uses ANTS tools and services to provide national-level capabilities for data and information capture, discovery, access, aggregation, correlation, visualization, analysis, sharing, and distribution for users from the strategic level to the tactical edge. This project achieves transformational mission capabilities and postures the Agency to meet emerging mission requirements through innovative technology solutions and service upgrades.

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 Catapult Information System — 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? →
