What project 624866 buys
This project conducts research advancing ground-based optical space domain awareness, techniques to counter laser threats to space craft, and laser applications towards ground-to-space quantum communication.
Project 624866 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 | 28.6 |
| FY2026 | Enacted | 36.6 |
| FY2027 | Request | 40.6 |
| FY2028 | Outyear | 39.6 |

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.
