This figure was parsed from Homeland Security's FY2027 Congressional Justification, not from a standard budget exhibit. It is approximate and it is not summable with other lines. It is published so you can check it: the citation below names the exact page it was read off. Where a dollar figure matters, verify it there before using it.

The FY2027 President's Budget requests for Detection Capability Development, within Homeland Security's Research and Development account.

The prior-year column is a CR annualized figure — the rate a continuing resolution funds at, not an enacted appropriation. The two are different numbers and are not interchangeable. Bases are separate columns and are never summed into one figure.

From the OMB Public Budget Database — clean, summable, and the figure to cite for an agency total. It is the whole of Homeland Security's discretionary request, not a total of the parsed lines above, and this page never adds the two together.

Extracted from 26 0403 ocfo budget cisa, p. 275. Verbatim; nothing here is paraphrased. This is a different document from the one the figures above were read off — the agency prints this line's dollars in a summary table and its justification elsewhere.
