Inside the program element

3 projects roll up into PE 0603766A

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 -16% overall, which can hide much larger swings below.

The whole program

TENCAP is funded on 4 lines across 3 appropriations

This page shows $92.8M of TENCAP, 53% of the program's $174.6M FY2027 request. The rest is appropriated elsewhere.

Program detail

Mission & acquisition strategy

Tactical Exploitation of National Capabilities (TENCAP) exploits national intelligence capabilities to pace evolving threats in support of operations during conflict and competition. TENCAP systems and technologies provide deep sensing to support commanders' situational understanding (patterns of life, threat intentions, etc.), indications & warnings (detection of enemy mobilization and hostile activity), and intelligence support to targeting (order of battle, electronic target folders, target detection, Battle Damage Assessment, etc.). TENCAP systems and technologies support Theater-level fires and effects.
