What project 624846 buys
This project develops advanced technologies that enhance spacecraft payload operations by improving materials/component, networking, analysis tools, and subsystem capabilities. This project focuses on identifying and developing technologies that enable new, or enhance existing, communication, positioning, navigation, and timing satellite capabilities, as well as developing technologies and models that support space based surveillance and space asset protection.
Project 624846 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.

|---|---|---|
| FY2025 | Actual | 47.4 |
| FY2026 | Enacted | 43.5 |
| FY2027 | Request | 40.2 |
| FY2028 | Outyear | 41.6 |
| FY2029 | Outyear | 41.8 |
| FY2030 | Outyear | 42.9 |
| FY2031 | Outyear | 43.8 |

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 describe FY2027 work in enough detail to have their own page; the rest are shown here in full. Coverage is partial across the corpus, so count activities, never total them.
