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 $155.1M for FY2023; the PB2025 book reported $192.0M as actual total obligation authority — $36.9M above the request. 192.0 − 155.1 = 36.9 USD millions — the compact figures above are rounded for reading.

Description
Mission — SSA/BMC2
The FY 2018 National Defense Authorization Act (Sections 873/874) directed the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) to streamline software development. The Space Domain Awareness (SDA)/Planning/Tasking software program is an OSD pilot initiative in which all lifecycle funding is tracked under Budget Activity 08 (BA 08), Software and Digital Technology Pilot Programs, beginning in FY 2021. Pilot programs enable the execution of modern software development practices encompassing development, procurement, sustainment, modification, and maintenance activities within a single Research, Development, Test and Evaluation (RDT&E) appropriation in this Program Element (PE). The Space Force is developing SDA/Planning/Tasking functions for the United States Space Force (USSF) and U.S. Indo-Pacific Command (USINDOPACOM). Capabilities will initially be delivered to Space Operations Command (SpOC) and U.S. Space Forces - Space (S4S). The SDA/Planning/Tasking software program provides a collaborative environment that will enhance and modernize SDA and Battle Management Command and Control (BMC2) capabilities; create decision-relevant views of the space and multi-domain environment; rapidly detect, track, and characterize objects of interest; identify/exploit traditional and non-traditional sources; perform space threat analysis; and enable efficient distribution of data across the Space Surveillance Network (SSN). The program maintains enterprise infrastructure, platform, and data services, and develops mission applications to enable responsive, resilient operational-level SDA/Planning/Tasking capabilities for the National Space Defense Center (NSDC), Combined Space Operations Center (CSpOC), Mission Delta 2 (MD 2) and other Command and Control (C2) centers. Employing an agile-based Rapid Delivery Framework (RDF) with a 90-day Program Increment (PI) construct, fosters a collaborative and integrated environment for the community to effectively plan and deliver C2 capabilities. The enterprise-wide system provides a common government infrastructure and processes to allow C2 capabilities at USSF operational Deltas to rapidly address the evolving and dynamic threat. The program also identifies shared/common platform, infrastructure, and data layer solutions to support open frameworks and architectures across the enterprise ground portfolio. Funding includes technical studies, development, experimentation, integration, and related support costs. This program element may include necessary civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver 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. This program is in Budget Activity 8, Software and Digital Technology Pilot Program because this budget activity includes funding provided for expenses necessary for agile development, test and evaluation, procurement, production and modification, and the operation and maintenance of these programs.
Justification
Accomplishments & Planned Programs (2)
SDA/Planning/Tasking Development
This program delivers a robust and responsive Space Domain Awareness (SDA) and Battle Management Command and Control (BMC2) capability to meet emerging threats. The program will deliver capability for decision makers trying to prevent a conflict from extending to space or winning it if it does. Capabilities and associated infrastructure include, but are not limited to, the following: SDA processing and exploitation, Indications & Warning (I&W), Planning & Tasking, Theater & Coalition Support, Transmit/Receive, Space Control, Tactical Operations and Common Data Management Layer, Platforms and Infrastructure; and Cyber and Threat Warning. The program maintains foundational Development, Security, and Operations (DevSecOps) enablers such as, but not limited to, Data as a Service, Zero Trust Architecture, Platform Support, Continuous Improvement/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) toolchain, and infrastructure and inherent sustainment efforts that are an integral part of the agile software development process. Other activities include dedicated Systems Engineering & Integration (SE&I), Test & Evaluation (T&E), Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) and prototype Validation & Verification to support these efforts.
SDA/Planning/Tasking Sustainment
The program maintains existing capability for the National Space Defense Center (NSDC), Combined Space Operations Center (CSpOC) and other C2 centers. These tasks include maintaining the Commercial Off The Shelf (COTS) software database, removing, and canceling decommissioned systems and unused tools, adding new tools required for ongoing support of the system, maintaining data support systems, and maintaining day-to-day software operations which continuously ensures and optimizes reliability, security, resiliency, availability, flexibility and scalability of the warfighter tools.

Follow the dollar
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 Space Domain Awareness/Planning/Tasking SW. 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? →
