The FY2027 President's Budget requests $1.5M for Operational Performance Improvements and Modeling, within Homeland Security's Research and Development account. That is down 9.6% on the FY2026 figure of $1.6M, which is a continuing-resolution annualized figure, not an enacted appropriation.
FY2025–FY2027
| Fiscal year | Basis | Amount |
|---|---|---|
| FY2025 | enacted | $1.6M |
| FY2026 | CR annualized | $1.6M |
| FY2027 | request | $1.5M |
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.
Homeland Security discretionary budget authority
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.
What this funds
This project develops modern technologies to identify highrisk cargo targeting, spacebased radiofrequency detection, and incorporation of new sensor inputs into the Search and Rescue Optimal Planning System. Additionally, these funds will support focused technical efforts in drugdetection technologies, directedenergy vesselstopping concepts, command center improvements, fire protection safety, communications system enhancements, sensor modeling, and analytic studies such as fleet mix modeling to inform optimal asset laydown.

Contracts funded by this line
81 linked contracts. These are obligations — lifetime awarded money — and they are not comparable to the request above and are never added to it. No total is shown: an award linked to several lines is counted in full on each, so the sum would not be a fact.

Linked contracts are a floor, not a census. Coverage is bounded by how distinctively a program is named and, for performer links, to RDT&E and Procurement — O&M and military construction publish no performers. Budget figures are FY2027 request dollars; contract figures are obligations. The two measure different things and must never be summed together.
