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.

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 PB2018 book requested $204.3M for FY2018; the PB2020 book reported $167.5M as actual total obligation authority — $36.8M below the request. 167.5 − 204.3 = -36.8 USD millions — the compact figures above are rounded for reading.

Description

Mission — Improved Turbine Engine Program

This funding line is a key enabler of the Army Modernization Priorities in support of the Improved Turbine Engine Program (ITEP). ITEP develops, tests, qualifies, and integrates the next generation turboshaft engine on Black Hawk and Apache aircraft. The Improved Turbine Engine (ITE) replaces the existing T700 engine design originated in the 1970s and meets the operational requirement of 6,000 feet pressure altitude and 95 degrees (6K/95). The ITE will fit inside the existing engine bays of the Black Hawk and Apache Helicopters and provides a significant power enhancement of up to fifty percent (total of 3,000 class shaft horsepower) with increased fuel efficiency. Additional benefits include improved design life, enhanced reliability, lower maintenance cost and restored capability lost due to aircraft weight growth without an increase to the logistics footprint. The program consists of systems engineering and program management, detailed design engineering, design assurance, hardware manufacturing and testing, component and module level development and testing, system level testing and qualification, and platform integration and qualification. Improved Turbine Engine Program is part of the Army Transformation Initiative. The FY 2026 request was reduced by $0.18 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."

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 Improved Turbine Engine Program — 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? →
