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.

Asked vs spent: the PB2023 book requested $21.8M for FY2023; the PB2025 book reported $32.7M as actual total obligation authority — $10.8M above the request. 32.683 − 21.848 = 10.835 USD millions — the compact figures above are rounded for reading.

Description
Mission — Counterspace Systems
Acquisition Decision Memorandum (ADM), April 24th 2009, directed all capabilities identified in the October 4th 2006, CCS Block 20, Joint Requirements Oversight Council (JROC) approved Capability Development Document (CDD) shall be accomplished as Pre-planned Product Improvement Program (P3I) upgrades to the CCS Block 10. On April 11th 2016, Air Force Space Command (AFSPC) updated the ADM adding additional responsibility for CCS Block 10.3 Meadowlands. CCS provides expeditionary, deployable, reversible offensive space control (OCS) effects applicable across the full spectrum of conflict. It prevents adversary Satellite Communications (SATCOM) in Area of Responsibility (AOR) including Command & Control (C2), Early Warning, and Propaganda; and hosts Rapid Reaction Capabilities in response to Urgent Operational Needs. This program effort includes architecture engineering and studies, system hardware design and development, software design and integration, and testing and demonstration of capabilities to provide disruption of satellite communications signals. Electromagnetic Warfare Threat Integration Program (EWTIP) is the new name changed from the CCS Emerging Threat Integration Program (CETIP),and is NOT a new start. EWTIP is a software agile program that develops, tests, and integrates new software capabilities, cyber techniques, and minor hardware solutions to ensure the Electromagnetic Warfare (EW) enterprise can maintain effectiveness against emerging threats and adversary capabilities. This program element may include necessary civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver CCS weapon system capability. The use of such program funds would be in addition to the civilian pay expenses budgeted in program elements 1206392SF and 1206398SF. Bounty Hunter (BH) is a ground-based, deployable, tactical space Electronic Warfare Support system (ES) that provides satellite communication (SATCOM), geolocation and interference detection capabilities to support the Defensive Space Control of United States (US) systems in a specific area of responsibility (AOR). BH provides the capability to monitor, detect, characterize and geolocate friendly and unfriendly electro-magnetic interference (EMI) across multiple radio frequency bands in support of Command, Control, Communications, Computers, and Intelligence (C4I) systems by US Joint Forces. Continuing annual agile development is needed to meet new user needs in an ever-changing threat environment. In FY2025, the program management office of BOUNTY HUNTER will be realigned from the United States Air Force to the United States Space Force. This program element may include civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver Bounty Hunter weapon system capability. The use of such program funds would be in addition to the civilian pay expenses budgeted in program element 0605829S. This program is in Budget Activity 5, System Development and Demonstration (SDD) because it has passed Milestone B approval and is conducting engineering and manufacturing development tasks aimed at meeting validated requirements prior to full rate production.
Mission — Counter Satellite Communications System
Acquisition Decision Memorandum (ADM), April 24th 2009, directed all capabilities identified in the Oct 4th 2006 Counter Satellite Communications System (CCS) Block 20, Joint Requirements Oversight Council (JROC) approved Capability Development Document (CDD) shall be accomplished as Pre-planned Product Improvement Program (P3I) upgrades to the CCS Block 10. On April 11th 2016, Air Force Space Command (AFSPC) signed and updated the ADM adding additional responsibility for CCS Block 10.3 Meadowlands.
Mission — BOUNTY HUNTER
Bounty Hunter (BH) is a ground-based, deployable, tactical space Electronic Warfare System (EWS) that provides satellite communication (SATCOM), geolocation and interference detection capabilities to support the Defensive Space Control of United States (US) systems in a specific Area of Responsibility (AOR). BH provides the capability to monitor, detect, characterize and geolocate friendly and unfriendly electro-magnetic interference (EMI) across multiple radio frequency bands in support of Command, Control, Communications, Computers, and Intelligence (C4I) systems by US Joint Forces. Continuing annual agile development is needed to meet new user needs in an ever-changing threat environment. In FY2025, the program management office of BOUNTY HUNTER will be realigned from the United States Air Force to the United States Space Force. This program element may include necessary civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver Bounty Hunter for emergent or unanticipated weapon system capability. The use of such program funds would be in addition to the civilian pay expenses budgeted in program element 0605829F. In PY 2024 0.148 million was expended for civilian pay expenses in this program element, and in CY 2025 0.154 million forecasted for civilian pay expenses in this program element.
Justification
Accomplishments & Planned Programs (3)
CCS Pre-planned Product Improvement (P3I) Program
Develop, integrate, test and field the CCS P3I program. This is an incremental approach to deliver Block 20 CCS capabilities.
Electromagnetic Warfare Threat Integration Program (EWTIP) changed from the CCS Emerging Threat Integration Program (CETIP)
In FY 2024, "Counter Satellite Communications System Emerging Threat Integration Program (CETIP)" effort title was changed to "Electromagnetic Warfare Threat Integration Program (EWTIP)” to capture overall mission and activities. This is NOT a new start. The software agile program provides time relevant and intelligence informed software capabilities, cyber techniques, and minor hardware solutions against new and emerging threats. Updates and transitions existing mission techniques and establishes new mission techniques to ensure the Electromagnetic Warfare (EW) enterprise maintains effectiveness against evolving adversary capabilities.
Bounty Hunter (BH)
Develop new capabilities for the BH program to meet and maintain pace with the operational threat environment. Specific accomplishments are classified.

No follow-the-dollar view — this program's awards haven't been crosswalked at high confidence (flows cover 312 of 1,938 programs). why coverage is partial? →
Awards
No awards are linked to this program element at high or medium 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 Counterspace Systems. No program-specific GAO finding for this line is in the ingested data. See the DOD oversight record.
Program dossier
No research dossier for this program — dossiers cover 50 of 1,938 programs, the largest fully J-book-detailed lines by FY2026 requested dollars. why no dossier here? →
