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 higher 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	$14.0M
FY25	$14.8M
FY26	$14.9M

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

12 fiscal years of this program as published (FY2015–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.

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

Asked vs spent: the PB2020 book requested $13.1M for FY2020; the PB2022 book reported $15.3M as actual total obligation authority — $2.23M above the request. 15.3 − 13.1 = 2.2 USD millions — the compact figures above are rounded for reading.

Description

Mission — COUNTER WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION SYSTEMS DEVELOPMENT

The Counter Weapons of Mass Destruction (CWMD) Systems Development program element supports the development and demonstration of technologies and systems for the CWMD mission, including modeling and simulation capabilities, verification and monitoring technologies, and decision support systems.

Mission — NUCLEAR TECHNOLOGIES AND CAPABILITIES DEVELOPMENT

This project supports the development of capabilities for the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) to counter proliferation and weapons of mass destruction (WMD) and to model the consequences of the use of nuclear weapons and integrate these capabilities for Combatant Command use. This project encompasses the following related areas. DTRA’s Enhanced Consequence Analysis (ECA) program performs research and development to improve the reliability and effectiveness of capabilities related to the consequence of execution of a nuclear weapon. This program delivers nuclear weapon effects (NWE) decision support tools for use during strategic and operational planning. The ECA program directly supports U.S. and allied warfighter planning requirements, including the Integrated Strategic Planning and Analysis Network Increment 5, an acquisition category 1A Major Automated Information System that supports developing nuclear and conventional force application plans. DTRA’s Nuclear Arms Control Technologies (NACT) program performs research and development to improve the sustainability, reliability, and effectiveness of capabilities related to its operational mission to install, operate, maintain, and sustain the waveform and radionuclide nuclear detonation detection stations and a radionuclide analysis laboratory comprising the majority of the U.S. portion of the International Monitoring System (IMS). This system delivers data continuously to the U.S. monitoring and verification community supporting warfighter and interagency nuclear-event response in support of the United States and Department of Defense (DoD). The NACT program directly supports U.S. and allied warfighter and national technical monitoring requirements and provides vital data used by the treaty monitoring community, warfighter planners, DoD, other U.S. Government agencies, and international agencies. The Nuclear Capabilities Services (NuCS) program performs RDT&E to improve capabilities to model nuclear weapon effects environments and simulate the response of systems and networks to these effects. Starting with NWE modeling and simulation (M&S) capabilities rooted in the DoD nuclear testing program, NuCS augments these legacy codes through integration of higher-fidelity reduced-order models built by DTRA applied research efforts that combine first-principle science & technology M&S and experimental research. Through technology updates to legacy codes and integration of new models, NuCS provide a standard source of NWE M&S capabilities for all DoD users. The ECA program integrates NuCS capabilities and these M&S capabilities with operational databases and systems and works with end-users to provide a user experience specifically designed for nuclear planning. Together, these programs support United States and allied planning and decision making in the event of nuclear weapon use.
