What project 0377 buys
This Program Element (PE) Project (0377) provides funding for the Joint EOD community in the modernization of EOD tools, equipment, and systems to address identified capability gaps. This research, development, test, and evaluation funding provides design, capability development, risk mitigation, issue resolution, integrations, test, test equipment, simulations and technology insertion of specialized equipment, tools and assessment of accessories that expand range of military operations required to support DoD's only Joint Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) programs. EOD exclusively executes world-wide missions for detection/location, identification, render-safe, recovery, field and laboratory evaluation, and disposal of hazards and unexploded ordnance (UXO) that is a threat to military operations, installations, personnel, or material. UXO includes foreign and domestic, both conventional and non-conventional, including Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) and devices using radiological and biological means with or without explosives. As defined in DOD Directive 5160.62E, assigns the Secretary of the Navy (SECNAV) the responsibility of Executive Agent for Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) Technology and Training (T&T) to include the Joint Service Explosive Ordnance Disposal Research and Development Program. EOD programs are designed to reduce the EOD operator's exposure to explosive hazards or limit the risk to an acceptable level. EOD operations range from hand entry of explosive devices by EOD technicians to robotic actions and sensing capabilities that provide a safe distance of the explosive hazard at a greatly reduced cost to trained and experienced EOD operators.

Project 0377 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 | 16.0 |
| FY2026 | Enacted | 10.6 |
| FY2027 | Request | 11.2 |
| FY2028 | Outyear | 11.4 |
| FY2029 | Outyear | 11.3 |
| FY2030 | Outyear | 11.3 |
| FY2031 | Outyear | 11.5 |
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.
In FY2027, the program will accelerate iterative development and testing of Automated Target Recognition (ATR) algorithms for Rapid Area Detection (RAD). Key priorities include maturing the Machine Learning Operations (MLOps) pipeline for production readiness, enhancing algorithm workflow capabilities at the tactical edge, integrating…

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.
