Budget trajectory

The program's 3 summary figures for FY24 to FY26, plotted in fiscal-year order: 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.

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

10 fiscal years of this program as published (FY2017–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	FY17	FY18	FY19	FY20	FY21	FY22	FY23	FY24	FY25	FY26
Actuals	$0	$0	$16.0M	$13.4M	$12.7M	$345.0K	$364.0K	$378.0K
Enacted	–	$0	$16.6M	$18.4M	$12.7M	$356.0K	$371.0K	$384.0K	$20.7M
Request	–	–	$6.76M	$18.4M	$12.7M	$356.0K	$371.0K	$384.0K	$20.7M	$59.1M

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

Asked vs spent: the PB2019 book requested $6.76M for FY2019; the PB2021 book reported $16.0M as actual total obligation authority — $9.27M above the request. 16.03 − 6.76 = 9.27 USD millions — the compact figures above are rounded for reading.

Description

Mission — Joint Air-to-ground Missile (JAGM)

The Joint Air-to-Ground Missile (JAGM) is an air-launched missile system that utilizes dual-mode seeker technology thus providing advanced line-of-sight and beyond-line-of-sight capabilities, including precision point and fire-and-forget seeker targeting and increased lethality against soft, hardened, moving, stationary, land, maritime threats. JAGM provides robust capability in adverse weather, day or night and in obscured/countermeasure environments. The JAGM Increment 1 system replaces aviation-launched, tube-launched, optically-tracked, wire-guided (TOW), and Helicopter Launched Fire-&-Forget Missile (HELLFIRE) Systems. JAGM is an Army-led joint program that addresses rotary wing, fixed wing, and unmanned aerial vehicle requirements. Funding includes support of platform integration activities of the AH-1Z, the Department of Navy threshold platform for the JAGM integration. The JAGM system includes missiles, trainers, containers, support equipment and software modifications to the M-299 launcher. Future JAGM follow on efforts could include extending the weapon's range, developing a fixed wing variant, and developing potential follow on increments. The JAGM program is part of the Navy's Integrated Fire Control (IFC) approach to address advanced threat capabilities in the Anti-Access/Area-Denial (A2AD) environment. IFC solutions enable individual system capabilities to be leveraged across an effects chain, placing the full spectrum of tactical capability in the hands of the warfighter. IFC solutions that push engagement distances beyond the launch platform's radar horizon and allow the United States Navy to operate in, and control, contested battle space in littoral waters and A2/AD environments are increasingly critical as more and more scenarios require compressed and coordinated fire control timelines. Precision Attack Strike Munition (PASM) - PASM is the Program of Record follow-on to the Long Range Attack Munition (LRAM) Joint Capability Technology Demonstration (JCTD). The program was renamed from LRAM to PASM to reflect its shorter range compared to other DON weapons and to differentiate the Program of Record from JCTD activities. The PASM program develops a new network-enabled, longer range precision strike weapon capable of deterring and destroying maritime and land-based targets. PASM builds off of the subsystem maturation, integration, and demonstration efforts of the LRAM JCTD. PASM will provide asymmetric advantages in range, stand-off and lethality. PASM is designed with a Weapons Open System Architecture (WOSA) to form fit multiple types of payloads based on mission while using common rail mounting systems and launchers to simplify logistics requirements. PASM is initially designed to utilize mature, non-integrated capabilities for the fire control system. The FY 2026 cost of the PASM Middle Tier of Acquisition effort is $58.697 million, including RDT&E and procurement of prototype units. The Department will certify FYDP funding in a future budget submission. JUSTIFICATION FOR BUDGET ACTIVITY: This program is funded under system development and demonstration because it includes those projects that have passed Milestone B approval and are conducting engineering and manufacturing development tasks aimed at meeting validated requirement prior to full-rate production decision.
