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 26% overall, which can hide much larger swings below.
Operations Security OPSEC
OPSEC is funded on 3 lines across 2 appropriations
This page shows $2.4M of OPSEC, 5.1% of the program's $47.4M FY2027 request. The rest is appropriated elsewhere.
| Also funded here | Type | Component | FY2027 $M |
|---|---|---|---|
| Operations Security (OPSEC) | RDT&E | Air Force | 45.0 |
| Defense Operations Security Initiative | RDT&E | Defense-Wide | — |
| OPSEC total | Air Force, Defense-Wide | 47.4 |
Lines whose title names the program. 5 further lines only mention OPSEC in their justification text — those fund something else and are deliberately excluded from the total.
Congressional marks
Committee marks on the FY2027 request. Adds and cuts are reconciled in conference before they become law.
Mission & acquisition strategy
This RDT&E program supports the 2025 National Security Strategy (NSS) and the 2026 National Defense Strategy (NDS). Funding will develop the capabilities to defend the homeland; deter China in the Indo-Pacific; increase burden-sharing with U.S. Allies and Partners; and supercharge the Defense Industrial Base. Funding advances global Defense Intelligence Enterprise (DIE) and Defense Security Enterprise (DSE) initiatives that address emerging trends in data & AI architecture, technology oversight, and technology acceleration. Initiatives will establish an enterprise-wide, agentic data federation; architect solutions with industry and the interagency; and synchronize technical requirements.

FY2027 planned work - Identify future opportunities to expand the DISE enterprise data architecture to include industry initiatives. - Improve technology oversight capabilities, allowing for greater efficiencies. - Expand opportunities for experimentation. - Expand AI capabilities to support ISR to non-traditional sources, further enabling active oversight and promoting operational efficiency. - Initiate new research projects on technical collection, data transport and integration, analytical tradecraft, and policy, and produce outputs that inform senior decision-makers and warfighters. - Promote studies that realize efficiencies of a wide range of classified ISR operational capabilities that directly support…
FY2026 to FY2027 change The increase from FY 2026 to FY 2027 is due to a realignment of ARLIS and CTPIC from DCSA to OUSW(I&S) which will provide a base of support for contracting efforts applicable to the DoW IC. This funding provides basic services for ARLIS to provide world-class academic research in support of operational customers.
FY2026 plans — current year - Fully integrate data/AI capabilities throughout the DISE by creating a unified data architecture. - Improve technology oversight capabilities, allowing for greater efficiencies. - Identify ways to accelerate the creation of prototypes and their subsequent deployment. - Expand AI capabilities to support ISR to non-traditional sources, further enabling active oversight and promoting operational efficiency. - Initiate new research projects on technical collection, data transport and integration, analytical tradecraft, and policy, and produce outputs that inform senior decision-makers and warfighters. - Promote studies that realize efficiencies of a wide range of classified ISR operational…
FY2025 accomplishments - Security Activities will provide technology development and concept evaluation for applications in support of Personnel Vetting, Physical Security, Industrial Security, Critical Technology Protection, and Law Enforcement. - New research projects are being initiated to support research into the DISE implications and applications of classified cloud computing and cloud-based technologies and the use of DoD grant data to support research protection efforts. - Provide expert engineering and technical assessments on a wide range of classified ISR operational capabilities that directly support NDS priorities. Funds will support senior-level education and understanding to inform decisions on ISR…
What project 200 buys
Intelligence Activities require expert engineering and technical assessments on a wide range of classified operational capabilities that directly support the 2026 NDS and DPG priorities. This program: 1) Provides personnel to fully integrate data/AI capabilities throughout the DISE; 2) Improve oversight; 3) Deploy/Sustain capabilities that accelerate technology (ARLIS, CTPIC); 4) Transition an AI capability that monitors ISR activities throughout the military services and Department of War Agencies on a near-real-time basis, and promotes active oversight to improve their operational efficiency; 5) Conducts studies of strategic ISR capabilities to ascertain strategic sufficiency and alignment to the 2026 NDS and DPG priorities; and 5) Conducts Research and Development of high-impact, intelligence-focused technologies related to OUSW(R&E) Critical Technology Areas (CTA) (examples: AAI; Q-BID).

FY2026 to FY2027 change The Defense Operations Security program funding was realigned from DCSA to the General Support to OUSW(I&S) RDT&E portfolio to better align resources and programs.
What project 345 buys
The Department recognizes that next-generation Operations Security (OPSEC) efforts could best be achieved through a combination of Mission Assurance programs from with the Defense Security Enterprise. Therefore, this funding is being included in the other projects within the "General Support to OUSW(Intelligence and Security) PE."
