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 FY2024. 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.
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? →

Decade view
P-1/R-1 workbook TOA basis, shown compact in $B/$M (the workbook records USD thousands); each figure cites its own President's Budget edition
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 | $5.85M | $13.0M | |
| Enacted | – | $5.85M | $19.1M | – |
| Request | – | – | $19.1M | $16.0M |
blank = series not published for this year; – = absent from that edition.
Asked vs spent: the PB2024 book requested $19.1M for FY2024; the PB2026 book reported $13.0M as actual total obligation authority — $6.15M below the request. 13.0 − 19.1 = -6.1 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 — EHF SATELLITE COMMUNICATION
This funding line is directly aligned to the Army Network Modernization Priority and supports the Army of 2030 and 2040 initiatives. Protected Anti-Jam Tactical SATCOM (Protected SATCOM) provides the ability for the Army tactical terminals to be resilient in a contested environment and protect against catastrophic loss of situational awareness and command and control during critical battle movement with Anti-Jam capabilities. The Resilient Anti-Jam Modem (RAM) (previously referred to as Block II Small Form Factor (SFF)) will provide on the move and early entry satellite terminals with adaptive, anti-jam communications for the highest levels of protected communications in multi domain operations. Air Force/Army Anti-Jam Modem (A3M) will offer tactical Army protection against interference that is either intentional or unintentional. A3M is a Joint Effort between the Army and US Space Force (USSF). RAM is an Army only requirement, as USSF does not have a requirement for RAM. Protected SATCOM supports initial development, testing and certification of production representative Protected Tactical Waveform (PTW) modems, incorporating Army requirements, to support continued spiral development of critical protected communications capabilities to address resiliency in jamming environments. Protected SATCOM addresses evaluation of capabilities to mitigate emerging threat requirements. The Protected/Resilient SATCOM Abbreviated - Capabilities Development Document (CDD) was validated and approved 1 March 2024. This program is included in the OPA Budget Line Consolidation. In FY 2025, the EHF SATELLITE COMMUNICATION (BC4000) was consolidated into the SATELLITE COMMUNICATIONS (B56000) program.
Justification
Justification — EHF SATELLITE COMMUNICATION
In FY2025 funds transferred from project BC4000 / B34002 EHF/Satellite Communications/Protected Anti-Jam Tactical SATCOM to project B56333 Protected Anti-Jam Tactical SATCOM under a new Parent B56000 SATELLITE COMMUNICATIONS. This consolidation was proposed in FY 2025 and approved with FY 2025 full year continuing resolution. FY 2026 is the first year Army is presenting B56000 funding line with retroactive adjustments for FY 2025.

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 EHF SATELLITE COMMUNICATION. 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? →
