What it is

  • B-21 Raider (budget line B02100) is a U.S. Air Force procurement line funded in the Aircraft Procurement, Air Force account.
  • The line funds procurement of the B-21 Raider, the Air Force's next-generation strategic bomber, including aircraft flyaway costs, producibility improvements, support equipment, alternate mission equipment, training, spares, depot standup, and engineering change orders.
  • Funding may also address Diminishing Manufacturing Sources and Material Shortages (DMSMS) and obsolescence, through activities such as bridge buys, life-of-type buys, and buys to protect the production schedule.
  • The B-21 is a special-access program: it is reported to Congress in accordance with Title 10, United States Code, Section 119(a)(1) in the Special Access Program Annual Report, and detailed public justification is limited.

Why it matters

  • The line's total funding is $5,551,242 thousand (about $5.55 billion) requested for FY2026, up from $2,600,468 thousand enacted in FY2025.
  • In FY2024 the line recorded actual spending of $2,270,693 thousand (about $2.27 billion), so the FY2026 request roughly doubles the recent execution level.
  • The FY2026 request is split between a discretionary request of $3,452,116 thousand (about $3.45 billion) and a reconciliation (mandatory) request of $2,099,126 thousand (about $2.10 billion).
  • The mandatory (reconciliation) portion of the request is $2,099,126 thousand, a large share of the year's growth.
  • The program's own justification states that the enhancement portion of the FY2026 request funds expansion of production capacity for the B-21, with further detail provided in Section 20008 of the Reconciliation Exhibit.
  • The near-doubling of the line signals a ramp toward full production of a new nuclear-capable strategic bomber, one of the Air Force's largest procurement commitments.

Key players

  • The line is run by the U.S. Air Force, with funding drawn from the Aircraft Procurement, Air Force appropriation.
  • Because the B-21 is a special-access program, oversight and public reporting run through the Director of Special Programs in the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment (OUSD(A&S)/DSP).
