Decade view

2 fiscal years of this program as published (FY2025–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 is too short to show a direction. 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.

Description

Mission — Ground Moving Target Indicator

The space-based Ground Moving Target Indicator (GMTI) project provides resources to acquire the next generation radar satellite system, providing resilient day-night, all weather detection, tracking, and imagery of ground and maritime targets. The GMTI project focuses on improving target detection, custody, and sensor-to-shooter timelines necessary for dynamic targeting and long-range strike within highly contested and non-permissive environments. The Space Force is working collaboratively with the military services, Combatant Commands, and the Intelligence Community to deliver and field the GMTI project. Additional details can be provided under separate cover. Note: this effort was previously completed under 1203154SF. This program is in Budget Activity 7, Operational System Development because this budget activity includes development efforts to upgrade systems that have been fielded or have received approval for full rate production and anticipate production funding in the current or subsequent fiscal year.
