What this funds

The FY 2027 NADR Request of $745 million will support a broad range of security-related programs that reduce threats posed by international terrorist activities; landmines, explosive remnants of war, and stockpiles of poorly secured conventional weapons and munitions; nuclear, radiological, chemical, and biological weapons of mass destruction (WMD); advanced and emerging technologies; and other destabilizing weapons and missiles, including Man-Portable Air-Defense Systems and their associated technologies. The request concentrates resources where they offer the most value and impact to U.S. national security priorities, consolidating the NADR account into three focus areas, as outlined below. Arms Control and Non-proliferation ($290 million): Funds will support efforts to prevent, disrupt, and roll back the spread of WMD, whether chemical (to include illicit fentanyl and its precursor chemicals), The request supports shifts of NADR resources to focus efforts to help partner countries prevent China's theft space-enabling infrastructure through engagement with international governments and industry to strengthen export controls, intellectual property protection, research security, investment screening, and cybersecurity. Shifts also focus on increases to facilitated deployment of Western civil nuclear energy technology, including Small Modular Reactors, across the globe and the delivery and development of counter Unmanned Aerial System technologies to key civilian partners in Central and South America and other high-risk regions where drone-enabled threats directly impact U.S. border security, aviation safety, and critical infrastructure. Funding also supports the delivery and deployment of programming to help foreign partner countries implement sanctions on Iran's nuclear weapons and ballistic missile programs; enforce sanctions on North Korea's WMD and ballistic missile programs; and disrupt proliferation networks tied to China, North Korea, and Russia. The request will also enable the U.S. to respond rapidly to global WMD and destabilizing weapons threats and nonproliferation emergencies or circumstances that other U.S. agencies cannot, due to Nonproliferation resources will be used for assistance programs that bolster U.S. leadership in global arms control and nonproliferation treaty forums, including the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty, the International Atomic Energy Agency, the Biological Weapons Convention, and the Chemical Weapons Convention through sustainment of U.S. contributions to the International Atomic Energy Agency; continuing the Accelerating Scientific Collaboration and Excellence in Nuclear Technology (ASCENT) that demonstrates U.S. commitment to the Non-Proliferation Treaty's pledge to non-nuclear weapons states to provide access to peaceful uses of nuclear technology; assist partner countries in the enforcement and implementation of the Chemical Weapons Convention; support the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons mission to ensure destruction of any remnant chemical weapons program in Syria; and strengthen the enforcement and implementation of the Biological Weapons Convention to advance the President's initiative to use modern tools to address modern biological threats. first-order terrorist threats to the United States. Funds directly strengthen the skills of foreign law enforcement and criminal justice sectors to detect, respond to, investigate, and prosecute terrorist activity. Funding supports the Terrorist Interdiction Program/Personal Identification, Secure Comparison, & Evaluation System (TIP/PISCES) border security management system and adjacent programming ($55 million) to enhance information sharing with foreign countries. PISCES prevents terrorist travel to the U.S. homeland by helping partner governments identify and interdict known and suspected terrorists and other malign actors. Funds will also be used for program support, administration, and monitoring and evaluation, 1) border security, including aviation security, watch listing, and screening, to extend U.S. borders further afield; 2) terrorism investigations, including information sharing, cyber, and forensics activities; 3) countering the financing of terrorism; and 4) tactical response to terrorist activity, including counter-IED and SWAT teams; as well as other Administration priorities such as countering narco-terrorists. This comprehensive approach ensures full accountability and rigorous oversight, allowing the flexibly for burden-shifting to achieve maximum impact and taxpayer value. Conventional Weapons Destruction ($215 million): Programs will continue to improve security through demining and weapons stockpile security. Demining programs locate and clear explosive hazards that close land to economic activity. Remediating these threats opens land for business interests and economic development opportunities, including for U.S. businesses, which fosters political stability and reduces partners' long-term reliance on other forms of foreign assistance. It opens access to agricultural land and natural resource extraction, clearing the way for infrastructure restoration, and denying terrorists access to explosive material. Additionally, many countries have large stockpiles of excess, obsolete, and unstable small arms, light weapons, and ammunition, which are frequently poorly secured and vulnerable to exploitation by drug traffickers, terrorists, and other non-state adversaries of the United States. Weapons stockpile security programs work with host-nation security forces to safely dispose of excess and unstable munitions while improving security and management of retained stockpiles. In Latin America and the Caribbean, programs disrupt the illicit flow of weapons, making it harder for narco-terrorists and human traffickers to threaten the security of the United States and our regional partners, supporting U.S. border security and shared hemispheric stability. In Southeast Asia and the Pacific, efforts address unexploded ordnance remaining from prior U.S. military operations and are foundational to countering Beijing's influence.
