What project PS1 buys
This Project (PS1) advances fundamental scientific knowledge in physical science areas that include chemistry, physics, materials science, environmental science, and nanotechnology that could potentially lead to transformational chemical and biological (CB) defensive capabilities enhancing warfighter performance and safety. This project is a key enabler supporting the Understand, Protect, and Mitigate portfolios.
Project PS1 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.
| Fiscal Year | Estimate Type | Amount ($M) |
|---|---|---|
| FY2025 | Actual | 16.5 |
| FY2026 | Enacted | 10.6 |
| FY2027 | Request | 11.3 |
| FY2028 | Outyear | 10.1 |
| FY2029 | Outyear | 10.0 |
| FY2030 | Outyear | 9.8 |
| FY2031 | Outyear | 9.8 |

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.
- Continue to identify and characterize innovative materials for next generation protection and detection proof-of-concept for chemical and biological defense. - Continue to employ artificial intelligence and machine learning approaches for material discovery and design parameters to synthesize new materials that destroy chemical and…
