What project 667500 buys

This project's specific purpose is to support DAF Foreign Materiel Program requirements through the acquisition and analysis of foreign materiel. Due to the unique capabilities of the DAF FMP, both USAF and USSF work cooperatively to support DAF FMP requirements. Items considered for these Foreign Materiel Acquisition (FMA) funds are included in the prioritized Service's FMA Top 50 list established each year. Annually, the MAJCOM and Field Commands create integrated prioritized lists of their top 50 requirements. The requirements lists are integrated and prioritized into a classified Service requirement list. System analyses are based on and driven by acquisitions. The DAF FMP provides assessments and data for threat systems to all DoW components. This program is in Budget Activity 6, RDT&E Management Support because this budget activity includes research, development, test and evaluation efforts and funds to sustain and/or modernize the installations or operations required for general research, development, test and evaluation.

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.
