Budget figures
$637.5M discretionary + $618.0M one-time reconciliation. Discretionary change vs FY2025 enacted: +64.5%.
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 · $1.26B TOA − $637.5M J-book line = 618.0M (1,255.5 − 637.5 = 618.0) — $618.0M 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.

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 PB2024 book requested $6.63M for FY2024; the PB2026 book reported $149.6M as actual total obligation authority — $143.0M above the request. 149.6 − 6.6 = 143.0 USD millions — the compact figures above are rounded for reading.

Description
Description — Lower Tier Air and Missile Defense (AMD) Sensor
The FY2026 request for LTAMDS includes $637,473 thousand of discretionary and $618,000 thousand of mandatory (reconciliation) dollars for a total of $1,255,473 thousand. The mandatory funds procure 4 LRIP Sensors and ancillary equipment in FY2026. Further information for this reconciliation request is provided in Section 20003 (Missile Defense) of the Reconciliation Exhibit. This funding line is directly aligned to the Army Air and Missile Defense Modernization priority and supports the Air and Missile Defense Cross Functional Team (AMD CFT). Lower Tier Air Missile Defense Sensor (LTAMDS) program will provide the required sensing capabilities, surveillance and fire control quality data in the lower tier portion of the Army Integrated Air and Missile Defense (AIAMD) of the ballistic missile defense battlespace. The LTAMDS capability increases sensor/radar performance to maximize the inherent PATRIOT Advanced Capability (PAC-3) Missile Segment Enhanced (MSE) Interceptor capabilities to engage threats. .
