Budget Figures
FY2026 award data is a partial year — USASpending awards are reported on a rolling basis and the fiscal year does not close until September 30. why partial FY2026 data? →

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 $7.20M for FY2024; the PB2026 book reported $5.92M as actual total obligation authority — $1.28M below the request. 5.9 − 7.2 = -1.3 USD millions — the compact figures above are rounded for reading.

Description
Description — U-28
This P-1 Line Item is part of the Military Intelligence Program (MIP). The mission of the U-28 is to provide a crewed fixed wing capability for improved tactical airborne Intelligence, Surveillance, Reconnaissance and targeting in support of Theater Special Operations Forces. This program element funds Special Operations-peculiar modifications to rapidly field U-28 aircraft, Simulator Block Upgrades for U-28 training devices, low-cost modifications for the Mission Training Device, and support equipment to meet evolving mission requirements. There is no associated Research, Development, Test, and Evaluation funding.
Justification
Justification — U-28
1. Mission Systems: Provides SO-peculiar modifications to include avionics, communication systems, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance systems, mission workstations, and mission software. FY 2025 to FY 2026 decrease of $5.259 million removes aircraft Low Cost Modifications. 2. Simulator Block Upgrades (SBUD): The SBUD program addresses obsolescence and procures concurrency modifications for the U-28 Mission Training Devices (MTD) and full flight simulators (FFS) to sustain and improve training capabilities. The U-28 portfolio of training devices reduces mission risk, overall costs, and safety stresses of live training required to attain aircraft and mission proficiency. FY 2025 to FY 2026 funding increase of $2.031 million completes aircraft simulator modifications and supports required qualification training for pilots. Simulator modifications are required to align system upgrade representative of operational aircraft which were previously modified. Additionally, simulator modifications are required to support continued training throughput for required aircrews.

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 U-28 — 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? →
