Budget figures
No FY2026 R-1/P-1 request line for this program element. The FY2026 President's Budget request workbook carries no FY2026 line for it; its last workbook figure is FY2025. The PB2026 J-book detail below does carry an FY2026 row for this line, recorded as zero. A workbook blank and a documented zero are different records, and this page shows both. An absent line is not by itself an ending — PB2026 renumbered program elements at scale across the services and defense agencies, so this work may continue under a different number. No successor is linked for this line: this site's program-lineage layer holds no keyed edge pointing forward from here. That is an absence in this site's lineage layer, not a finding about the program: if the J-book narrative on this page describes a realignment, it is quoted below in the document's own words, and this note does not restate it.

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.
| Series | FY22 | FY23 | FY24 | FY25 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Actuals | $0 | – | $11.2M | |
| Enacted | – | $0 | $13.6M | $16.3M |
| Request | – | – | $13.6M | $16.3M |
blank = series not published for this year; – = absent from that edition.
Asked vs spent: the PB2024 book requested $13.6M for FY2024; the PB2026 book reported $11.2M as actual total obligation authority — $2.40M below the request. 11.2 − 13.6 = -2.4 USD millions — the compact figures above are rounded for reading.
Program lineage
No predecessor/successor lineage was recorded for this program element — no FY-to-FY transfer into or out of this line was stated in the ingested J-books, and none was inferred from the program structure.
Description
Description — Unmanned Expeditionary Systems
Prior to FY 2024, Tactical Resupply Unmanned Aircraft System (TRUAS) was funded in Budget Line Item (BLI) 6518 Amphibious Support Equipment. Unmanned Expeditionary Systems (UES) directly supports the complex, high threat, and diverse environments in the Indo-Pacific area of operations encountered by Marine Air Ground Task Force (MAGTF) and Marine Littoral Regiments (MLRs). UES consists of the ULS-A Small (Tactical Resupply Unmanned Aircraft System (TRUAS) and the ULS-A Medium (Medium Aerial Resupply Vehicle-Expeditionary Logistics (MARV-EL)). As system technology advances in future years, UES will also include emerging technologies to include autonomous distribution capabilities for elements across the MAGTF and MLR, enabling more diversified distribution and the sustainment of Marine Corps forces across future operating environments. The TRUAS provides an autonomous unmanned organic battlefield logistics capability primarily in distribution of critical supplies in Expeditionary Advanced Base Operations (EABO) safely within the Surface to Air Missile (SAM) Weapon Engagement Zone (WEZ), where the risk to manned aircraft would deny manned aviation resupply operations. TRUAS will have the capability to carry 120-pound payloads at a distance of 12 kilometers at a cruise speed of 50 knots.
Justification
Justification — Unmanned Expeditionary Systems
The decrease from FY 2025 to FY 2026 reflects no planned TRUAS procurement quantities in FY 2026.

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 Unmanned Expeditionary 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? →
