Budget trajectory

The program's 3 summary figures for FY24 to FY26, plotted in fiscal-year order: 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	$33.6M
FY25	$33.9M
FY26	$17.4M

All series figures: R-1 TOA · 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

9 fiscal years of this program as published (FY2018–FY2026): 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	FY18	FY19	FY20	FY21	FY22	FY23	FY24	FY25	FY26
Actuals	$0	$0	$19.3M	$28.5M	$40.9M	$21.4M	$33.6M
Enacted	–	$0	$20.1M	$29.5M	$42.1M	$45.0M	$62.3M	$33.9M
Request	–	–	$22.0M	$33.8M	$42.1M	$45.0M	$62.3M	$33.9M	$17.4M

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

Asked vs spent: the PB2024 book requested $62.3M for FY2024; the PB2026 book reported $33.6M as actual total obligation authority — $28.7M below the request. 33.6 − 62.3 = -28.7 USD millions — the compact figures above are rounded for reading.

Description

Mission — MARINE CORPS GROUND COMBAT/SUPPORTING ARMS SYST

Organic Precision Fires (OPF) is a Service Force Design priority and will provide multiple echelons of the Fleet Marine Force with an organic, loitering, beyond-line-of-sight precision strike capability. OPF will be employed at the tactical level to allow Marines to rapidly engage the enemy beyond the range of direct fire weapons while minimizing collateral damage and exposure to enemy direct and indirect fires. OPF has demonstrated through extensive war-gaming and simulation, combined with experience gained in real world operations, that it will significantly improve the organic lethality of infantry and reconnaissance formations.

Mission — Combat Capability Development Transition

Organic Precision Fires (OPF) is a Marine Corps modernization priority and will provide multiple echelons of the Fleet Marine Force with an organic, loitering, beyond-line-of-sight precision strike capability. OPF will deliver precision effects as well as surveillance before and during target strike, while reducing the potential for collateral damage. Multiple materiel solutions are required to provide the envisioned capabilities to the Fleet Marine Force. OPF-Light will procure an existing, light-weight loitering munition for use by dismounted elements. It provides a dismounted, lightweight, man-packable, loitering munition that extends the capability of the infantry squad/platoon to engage targets to the maximum range of organic Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) assets at that level. OPF-Light will provide a counter-defilade, anti-personnel and anti-materiel capability. Primary target sets for this system will be enemy personnel, crew-served weapons, and Command and Control (C2) nodes. This will be principally a platoon/squad level asset. In FY 2025, the program completed Developmental Testing 1 (DT1) and initiated Developmental Testing 2 (DT2). In FY 2026, OPF-Light will complete DT2, conduct operational testing, and begin development and testing of OPF capability enhancements. OPF capability enhancements will provide greater lethality effects over the base capability including upgrades for target recognition and warhead performance.
