Budget figures
$125.0M one-time reconciliation. Discretionary change vs FY2025 enacted: -100.0%.
Two official figures, one label— reconciled below
Fiscal Receipts uses P-1/R-1 workbook total obligation authority (TOA) as the headline figure sitewide. The workbook TOA includes budget rows that the R-2/P-40 J-book program line excludes — advance procurement in an ordinary year, and in FY2026 the one-time reconciliation appropriation as well. Each row below names the one it is. How the two bases relate →
FY26 Request · $125.0M TOA − $0 J-book line (a zero-dollar XML line) = 125.0M (125.0 − 0.0 = 125.0) — $125.0M of one-time FY2026 reconciliation money accounts for this gap — not advance procurement
Figures in the sentence are rounded for reading; the parenthesised arithmetic is the same subtraction in USD millions, at the precision where it closes.
FY2026 award data is a partial year — USAspending reports awards on a rolling basis, and this corpus runs through 2026-09-04. 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.
● actuals (line) · ○ enacted · ◇ request — gaps are editions the program is absent from, never interpolated.

Description
Description — Expeditionary Loitering Munitions
The Expeditionary Loitering Munitions Portfolio consists of two Navy loitering munition programs (air and surface) designed to meet an urgent Geographic Combatant Command Requirement. Air and Surface Expeditionary Loitering Munitions will leverage and continue prior development efforts including an Office of Naval Research (ONR) Innovative Naval Prototype (INP). The Navy is pursuing commercial-off-the-shelf solutions with autonomous government-provided software and auxiliary systems. The systems will be expeditionary and deployable by small teams to support operations in various environments. The air system has transitioned from Low-Rate Initial Production to Full-Rate Production with the initial vendor solutions and is now expanding the industrial base for this capability by integrating government-owned technology with other vendor platform solutions. The surface system has transitioned from the ONR INP and is now in Low-Rate Initial Production.

Oversight
Department-level designation (not specific to this program)
