Budget figures
$523.1M discretionary + $317.0M one-time reconciliation. Discretionary change vs FY2025 enacted: +111.8%.
Two official figures, one label— reconciled below
Fiscal Receipts uses P-1/R-1 workbook total obligation authority (TOA) as the headline figure sitewide. The workbook TOA includes budget rows that the R-2/P-40 J-book program line excludes — advance procurement in an ordinary year, and in FY2026 the one-time reconciliation appropriation as well. Each row below names the one it is. How the two bases relate →
FY26 Request · $840.1M TOA − $523.1M J-book line = 317.0M (840.1 − 523.1 = 317.0) — $317.0M of one-time FY2026 reconciliation money accounts for this gap — not advance procurement
Figures in the sentence are rounded for reading; the parenthesised arithmetic is the same subtraction in USD millions, at the precision where it closes.

Description
Description — THAAD
The fiscal year (FY) 2026 request for Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) Procurement includes $523.1 million of discretionary and $317.0 million of mandatory (reconciliation) for a total of $840.1 million. The total procurement quantity of 37 consists of: - 25 THAAD Interceptors funded with the discretionary funds. - 12 THAAD Interceptors funded with the mandatory (reconciliation) funds. The 37 THAAD Interceptors will be synergized with Lots 16 (FY 2024) and 17 (FY 2025) in a single contract award with an estimated unit cost of $12.4 million. Further information for this reconciliation request is provided in Section 20003 (Missile Defense) of the Reconciliation Exhibit. THAAD is an element of the Terminal Defense Segment (TDS) of the Missile Defense System. THAAD enhances the TDS by deepening, complementing, and extending the Missile Defense System battlespace and capability to engage ballistic targets in the late mid-course and terminal phases of their trajectory. THAAD Army Navy / Transportable Radar Surveillance and Control (AN/TPY-2) radar is a surveillance and targeting sensor providing data to the THAAD system to execute intercept missions. The THAAD system, in conjunction with the fielded Phased Array Tracking Radar to Intercept on Target system, provides the TDS for the Missile Defense Agency objective of enhancing the Missile Defense System capability. The THAAD system is comprised of five (5) major components: Interceptors, Launchers, AN/TPY-2 Radar, THAAD Fire Control and Communication Tactical Station Group, and Peculiar Support Equipment including Missile Round Pallet Transportable.
Justification
Justification — THAAD
The FY 2026 request for THAAD Procurement includes $523.1 million of discretionary and $317.0 million of mandatory (reconciliation) for a total of $840.1 million. The total procurement quantity of 37 consists of: - 25 THAAD Interceptors funded with the discretionary funds. - 12 THAAD Interceptors funded with the mandatory (reconciliation) funds. The 37 THAAD Interceptors will be synergized with Lots 16 (FY 2024) and 17 (FY 2025) in a single contract award with an estimated unit cost of $12.4 million. Further information for this reconciliation request is provided in Section 20003 (Missile Defense) of the Reconciliation Exhibit. Increase in discretionary from FY 2025 to FY 2026 provides additional THAAD Interceptors from quantity twelve (12) in FY 2025 to twenty-five (25) in FY 2026. Increase also provides critical Interceptor Obsolescence mitigation, THAAD Battery Ground Component Obsolescence modifications, and the Stockpile Reliability Program. MDA has successfully used a "synergy" lot buy approach to THAAD Interceptor procurement. This approach entailed awarding a contract that included an option for the following FY funding. By utilizing this approach, MDA achieved savings in material costs in multiple FYs. This resulted in a higher Interceptor quantity buy at a lower average unit price than if the lot buys were not combined. Interceptor unit costs are heavily dependent on the total quantity being procured in a specific buy and inflation rates. The THAAD Interceptor unit cost is driven by a combination of factors including the production of a small quantity of units; the current acquisition strategy to minimize supplier production gaps; and the absence of Foreign Military Sales Interceptor procurements to synergize and reduce unit cost. "Procurement Quantity" and "Flyaway Unit Cost" above represent interceptors only, but the "Net Procurement" cost above includes the costs of all hardware. Prior FYs funding included procurement of ground components, which affected the "Gross Weapon System Unit Cost".

Contractor concentration
No concentration index is published for this line. This line's high-confidence links do not clear the floor for a published concentration index — at least 3 awards across 2 contractor families holding positive obligations, with positive net linked dollars. An index below that floor is a fact about the sample, not about the market. Whatever further links this line carries are medium-confidence, and what each medium evidence path does and does not establish is set out in the methodology. Both bases are in the downloadable warehouse.
