What project CY50S1 buys

The Data and Sensors Portfolio develops and integrates advanced capabilities that enhance U.S. awareness, decision advantage, and operational readiness in support of Department of War (DoW) contingency plan execution, with a primary focus on the U.S. Indo Pacific Command (USINDOPACOM) area of responsibility. These efforts aim to maintain and restore the comparative U.S. military advantage by improving the collection, fusion, and exploitation of data across multiple domains, enabling timely, precise, and actionable insights for cyber and multi domain operations. Investments in this portfolio reduce operational risk, strengthen deterrence, and ensure the Joint Force can effectively counter emerging and advanced threats in the Indo Pacific region.

Project CY50S1 funding, FY2025–FY2031

Prior years are actuals, the budget year is the request, and the outyears are the FYDP plan. Estimate types are colored and never summed into one figure. Projects carry the full five-year plan; the activities inside them stop at the budget year.

Inside the project

1 accomplishment / planned program

The R-2A exhibit — the only level of the budget that describes work that has not happened yet. Activities carry the prior, current and budget year only, no five-year plan. Each describes FY2027 work in enough detail to have its own page; the rest are shown here in full. Coverage is partial across the corpus, so count activities, never total them.

Named performers on project CY50S1

Performers named in the R-3 exhibit under this project. Share is of the project's whole FY2027 R-3 total — the same denominator the program-element split uses, so the two read on one scale and will not sum to 100% when unnamed or government work is in the mix. Budget-justification contract funding, not obligations.
