Inside the program element

2 projects roll up into PE 0603271N

Projects are the summable leaves — the PE total is their sum, never added to it. Program elements and projects carry the full five-year plan; activities stop at the budget year. This PE moves -40% overall, which can hide much larger swings below.

Program detail

Mission & acquisition strategy

The Navy and Marine Corps' sophisticated electronics systems place heavy demands on the electromagnetic spectrum to accommodate information flow, defensive and offensive detection, tracking, and weapon system engagement. In distributed maritime operations, each of these platforms provides a set of capabilities that can be further combined for progressively larger and more complex operations.
