Who gets it
No company is linked to this line. Award records do not carry the program element, so the crosswalk is silent here — why.

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. 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.

Data coverage

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? →

4 fiscal years of this program as published (FY2022–FY2025): a line through the actuals (filled dots), with the enacted (hollow circles) and request (diamonds) markers each edition reported. Read it for direction, not for precision — this program's actuals line rises across the span. The grid below is the same data as text, one cited figure per cell.

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.

Decade series values by fiscal year and President's Budget edition: one row per series (actuals, enacted, request), one column per fiscal year. Every figure opens its own citation.

blank = series not published for this year; – = absent from that edition.

Asked vs spent: the PB2024 book requested $85.5M for FY2024; the PB2026 book reported $197.2M as actual total obligation authority — $111.7M above the request. 197.2 − 85.5 = 111.7 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 — TERRESTRIAL LAYER SYSTEMS (TLS)

This funding line is a key enabler of the Army Modernization Priorities in support of multi domain operations and deep sensing. Terrestrial Layer System Brigade Combat Team (TLS BCT) is a functionally integrated Signals Intelligence (SIGINT) and Electromagnetic Warfare (EW) system that operates within the electromagnetic spectrum to provide Army maneuver forces a competitive advantage. The TLS BCT Manpack system is a tailorable, modular, Soldier portable capability that enables Signals Intelligence (SIGINT) and Electronic Warfare (EW) collection, processing, exploitation, reporting, and effects capabilities within the SIGINT Collection Team (SCT) and Electronic Warfare Team (EWT) elements. TLS BCT Mounted systems are composed of two complementary variants which together provide Indications and Warnings, Force Protection, and Situational Awareness to influence the commander's decision cycle, improve targeting timeliness and accuracy, and provide the maneuver commander with electronic attack options to degrade, deny, disrupt, or otherwise manipulate the targeted force. TLS BCT aligns to Army modernization priorities (Long Range Precision Fires, Network, and Soldier Lethality) to field technologically advanced capabilities to prevail in Multi-domain and Large-Scale Combat Operations (LSCO). Terrestrial Layer System Echelon Above Brigade (TLS EAB) is a family of systems composed of multiple variants which together provide integrated, distributed Signals Intelligence (SIGINT) and Electromagnetic Warfare (EW) cyber-enabled capabilities to Army Divisions, Corps and Multi-Domain Task Forces. TLS EAB provides indications and warnings to influence the commander's decision cycle, improves targeting quality, timeliness and accuracy, and provides electronic attack and offensive cyber warfare options to detect, deny, degrade, disrupt or otherwise manipulate the targeted force. TLS EAB supports Multi Domain Battle capability gaps and provide Force Protection, Situational Development, and Information Superiority to Army Divisions, Corps and Multi- Domain Task Forces. Enables integration, interoperability and force modernization with emerging capabilities in support of USAREUR-AF and USARPAC Operational Needs Statements, Transformation in Contact (TiC) initiatives, and Presidential Directives. FY 2026 was transferred from Budget Activity (BA) 2, B97600 TERRESTRIAL LAYER SYSTEMS (TLS) to BA 6, I32000 ELECTRONIC WARFARE AGILE in support of Agile Portfolio Management.

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 TERRESTRIAL LAYER SYSTEMS (TLS). 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? →
