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 $41.5M for FY2024; the PB2026 book reported $42.4M as actual total obligation authority — $936.0K above the request. 42.4 − 41.5 = 0.9 USD millions — the compact figures above are rounded for reading.

Description
Description — Air Launch Cruise Missile (ALCM)
The AGM-86B, Air Launched Cruise Missile (ALCM), is a subsonic, air-to-surface strategic nuclear missile, operational since 1982. Armed with a W80 warhead, it is designed to evade air and ground-based defenses in order to strike targets at any location within any enemy's territory. ALCM was designed for both B-52H internal and external carriage. Funding for this exhibit is contained in PE 0101122F. Change Summary: All modification programs have been adjusted to reflect the current calendar year program office estimates (POE). POEs are based on a combination of actuals, proposals, rough order of magnitude estimates from contractors, and subject matter expert inputs.
