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. 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.

Decade view

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.

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 — Future UAS Family
The Future Uncrewed Aircraft System (FUAS) is a critical system in the cross-domain capabilities concept that will employ multi-domain operation (MDO) capabilities at all echelons and allow ground-based forces to project power from land into other domains to defeat highly capable enemies, secure terrain, and consolidate gains. FUAS encompasses an array of capabilities from platoon Soldiers to Division Commanders. The Army Requirements Oversight Council (AROC) approved the FUAS Initial Capabilities Document (ICD) on 6 Mar 2019. Future Tactical Uncrewed Aircraft System (FTUAS) provides the Brigade Combat Teams (BCT) with transformational capabilities. FTUAS provides the BCT commander a runway independent, expeditionary reconnaissance, surveillance, and target acquisition (RSTA) capability through vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) and on the move (OTM) command and control. FTUAS enhances survivability in a MDO environment through assured position, navigation, and timing (APNT) solutions; Type-1 encrypted datalinks; and a modular open systems approach (MOSA) that facilitates system upgrades at the pace of technology. FTUAS mitigates operation and support costs through organic sustainment capability, specifically through Soldiers conducting field level maintenance without contractor field service representatives. Additionally, FTUAS provides enhanced transportability, rapid deployability, expeditionary maneuver, and mobility for adaptive and agile operations. The AROC validation was completed on 17 May 2024, and AROC-Memorandum was signed on 8 July 2024 approving the updated A-CDD. One FTUAS system consists of 6 air vehicles and payloads, 6 control stations, and ancillary equipment. The aircraft subsystem includes the airframe, propulsion, avionics, communications, navigation, and software systems; aircraft-specific ground support equipment including power generation, transportation, or command and control equipment; aircraft software. Launched Effects (LE) extends the speed, range, lethality and survivability of maneuver formations through the integration of air vehicles, mission systems, payloads, and behaviors. LE will provides Army formations with the ability to expedite and strengthening the kill web, facilitate the penetration and dis-integration the enemy's Anti-Access Area Denial (A2AD) environment and extend the maneuver force's reach, lethality, and survivability. LE efforts are based on requirements from an AROC approved Abbreviated-Capability Development Document (A-CDD) approved 08 July 2024. FY 2026 funding was transferred from Budget Activity (BA) 2, A00510 Future UAS Family to BA 6, I48000 FUTURE UNMANNED AERIAL SYSTEMS (UAS) FAMILY 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 Future UAS Family. 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? →
