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.

Description
Description — Space Development Agency Launch
The Space Development Agency (SDA), established in 2019, has a mission that begins and ends with the war-fighter. SDA orchestrates the development, fielding, and operation of the Department of Defense's (DoD's) future threat-driven Proliferated Warfighter Space Architecture (PWSA) and uses novel approaches to accelerate the delivery of military space capabilities necessary to ensure U.S. technological and military advantage in space for national defense. SDA will deliver capabilities to joint war-fighting forces in two-year tranches. SDA began to procure launch services for the PWSA starting in Fiscal Year (FY) 2022 for data transport and resilient missile warning/ missile tracking (MW/MT) capabilities provided by Tranche 1 and beyond.
Justification
Justification — Space Development Agency Launch
FY 2026 funding will procure launch services for seven launches under the USSF NSSL program for delivery of the Space Development Agency (SDA) space vehicles (SVs). This supports launch missions for Tranche 2 Transport Layer (T2TL), Tranche 2 Tracking Layer (T2TRK), and Fire-control On Orbit-support-to-the-war Fighter (FOO Fighter). SDA aims to provide responsive and resilient space capabilities in support of the Joint Force and as part of Joint All Domain Command and Control (JADC2), thus increasing our warfighters' lethality, maneuverability, and survivability. In addition to launch services, this line may fund mission unique requirements such as launch vehicle hardware, procurement of flight representative interface hardware for pre-launch integration and test, early integration studies to document Space Vehicle-Launch Vehicle (SV-LV) interface controls and provide the predicted launch vehicle environments to the SV providers, final integration analysis and interface control documents, special studies, encapsulation and payload attach fitting mate operations of the SV integrated payload stack, and conduct launch and orbit insertion operations. The FY 2026 request was reduced by 0.300 million for Advisory and Assistance Services to promote efficiencies and advance the policies of the Administration in alignment with Executive Order 14222, "Implementing the President's Department of Government Efficiency Cost Efficiency Initiative."
