What project 162 buys

The Physical Security Enterprise and Analysis Program (PSEAP) pursues the development of nuclear and conventional physical security materiel solutions in response to the stated needs and requirements of the Combatant Commands and Military Services. This program leverages commonalities in physical security requirements in order to closely balance and integrate the needs of users. The PSEAP is responsible for avoiding duplication of effort, ensuring systems integration, and promoting interoperability and sustainability. The materiel solutions either (a) lead to a Program of Record, (b) become technology insertions into existing programs; or (c) advance to being a certified Commercial/Government off-the-shelf product.

Funding trajectory

Project 162 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.
