for MDAP* and Non-MDAP Programs
$ in Billions

The FY 2023 President’s Budget request for modernization in the RDT&E and Procurement titles
is comprised of 3,112 Program, Project, and Activity (PPA) line items. Within these lines, there
are 83 Major Defense Acquisition Programs (MDAPs), of which 80 are under the Military
Departments – 15 with the Army, 38 with the Navy, and 27 with the Air Force. The remaining 3
(F-35, Missile Defense, Chemical Demilitarization - Assembled Chemical Weapons Alternatives
(ACWA) programs are Joint or under the Office of the Secretary of Defense.
Not all MDAPs (Acquisition Category (ACAT) I) are represented in this book because they fall
below reporting criteria.
While non-MDAP individual programs are smaller in dollar value when compared to MDAPs,
these ACAT II and ACAT III programs account for 65 percent of the total Investment accounts
and are essential to development of future technologies and procuring a wide assortment of
equipment, munitions, vehicles, and weapons needed by combat forces. The MDAPs consume
approximately $98.8 billion, or 36 percent, of the FY 2023 modernization funding ($276.0 billion).
* An MDAP is an acquisition program that is designated by the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and
Sustainment (USD (A&S); or is estimated to require an eventual total expenditure for Research, Development, Test,
and Evaluation (RDT&E), including all planned increments, of more than $480 million in Fiscal Year (FY) 2014
constant dollars or, for Procurement, including all planned increments, of more than $2.79 billion in FY 2014 constant
dollars.

Aircraft and Related Systems

Aviation forces - including fighters, bombers, mobility (cargo/tanker), specialized support

aircrafts, and Unmanned Aerial Vehicles/Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAV/UAS) - provide a
versatile strike force capable of rapid deployment worldwide. These forces can quickly gain and
sustain air dominance over regional aggressors, permitting rapid attacks on enemy targets while
providing security to exploit the air for logistics, command and control, intelligence, and other
functions. Fighter/attack aircraft operate from both land bases and aircraft carriers to provide air
superiority to combat enemy fighters and attack ground and ship targets. Bombers provide an
intercontinental capability to rapidly strike surface targets. The specialized aircraft supporting
conventional operations perform functions such as intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance;
airborne warning and control; air battle management; suppression of enemy air defenses; and
combat search and rescue. In addition to these forces, the U.S. military operates a variety of air
mobility forces including cargo, aerial-refueling aircraft, helicopters, and support aircraft.

Continued in the FY 2023 request, is the Department’s Tactical Air (TACAIR) strategy to
supplement 5th generation fighters like the F-22 and F-35 with 4th generation capability, to more
economically address threats that do not require state-of-the-art 5th generation combat jets.

of future joint military operations to achieve full spectrum dominance. This overarching goal to
defeat any adversary or control any situation across the full range of military operations is achieved
through a broad array of capabilities enabled by an interconnected network of sensors, shooters,
command, control, and intelligence. Net-centricity transformed the way information is managed
to accelerate decision making, improve joint warfighting, and create intelligence advantages. U.S.
forces are heavily-networked and require reliable, secure, and trusted access to information and
depend on network-based interconnectivity for increased operational effectiveness. By enhancing
information sharing, dispersed forces are able to communicate, maneuver, share a common user-
defined operating picture, and successfully complete assigned missions more efficiently.

The FY 2023 budget request supports the net-centricity service-based architecture pattern for
information sharing. It is being implemented by the C4I community via building joint
architectures and roadmaps for integrating joint airborne networking capabilities with the evolving
ground, maritime, and space networks. It encompasses the development of technologies like
gateways, waveforms, network management, and information assurance.

Tactical Network Technology

The Tactical Network Technology (TNT)
Modernization in Service (MIS) provides
the Army’s operational formations with
modernized At-the-Halt and On-the-Move
satellite and line of sight network
connectivity through technological
improvement of the fielded tactical network
baseline. This capability keeps highly
mobile and dispersed forces connected to
one another from theater down to select
company roles. The TNT backbone allows
forces to leverage Army and Joint resources
through the Department of Defense
Information Network (DoDIN), providing tactical formations with reliable, secure, and seamless
video, data, imagery, and voice services, which enable multi-domain operations. The TNT MIS
also supports the Joint All Domain Command and Control (JADC2) by providing network
connectivity and transport for the ground domain to the DoDIN, which enables Army's
contribution to Joint Force Commanders.

The TNT MIS supports the near-term objectives of the Army Network Modernization Strategy by
replacing non-sustainable/end of life equipment (switches, routers, servers, etc.) with technology
that meets cyber and electronic warfare resiliency requirements of the expeditionary Army. This
modernization reduces life cycle costs by reducing size, weight, and power; consolidating
capabilities that previously resided on individual hardware components; and leveraging common
commercial information technology solutions across various programs.

Mission: Modernizes the Tactical Network as one the Army’s top six modernization priorities for
multi-domain operations.

FY 2023 Program: Addresses Expeditionary Signal Battalion-Enhanced units and upgrades

within the Corps through Battalions across the Army, Army Reserve, and Army National Guard
by modernizing their network transport systems and regional hub nodes.

access to information. Nations deterred
from directly confronting U.S. military
strength are using cyberspace operations
in day-to-day competition to exploit a
perceived advantage and harm our
interests. China, Russia, Iran, North Korea, as well as cyber criminals, are engaging in persistent,
aggressive cyberspace campaigns that pose strategic, long-term risks to the Nation, our allies, and
partners. In response to the growing cybersecurity threats, the Department conducted a DoD Cyber
Posture Review that provided a comprehensive assessment of the Department’s ability to
successfully execute the Strategy and identifying key gaps.

Mission: Improve the cyber resiliency of the Joint Force and its supporting elements to ensure it
can execute its missions successfully in contested cyberspace environments, strengthen the Joint
Force by conducting cyberspace operations that enhance U.S. military advantages, harden weapon
systems through continuous cyber assessments and mitigation, defend U.S. critical infrastructure
from malicious cyber activity, secure DoD information and systems, including DoD information
on non-DoD owned networks, against malicious cyber activity, and expand DoD cyber
cooperation with interagency, industry, and international partners.

FY 2023 Program: The FY 2023 Cyberspace Activities program continues to build on the goals
laid out in the DoD Cyber Strategy; Innovate for Competitive Advantage, Optimize for
Efficiencies and Improve Capability, Evolve Cybersecurity for Agile and Resilient Defense
Posture, and Cultivate Talent for a Ready Digital Force. The FY 2023 program continues
investments in cybersecurity, cyberspace operations (including the Cyber Mission Force), and

Missile Defense Programs

This category includes development and procurement of weapon systems to counter adversary’s
offensive missile systems to include ballistic missiles, cruise missiles and hypersonic weapons.
The Missile Defense Agency is specifically tasked to lead the Department’s missile defense system
mission, however, the five Military Services have acquisition and operational roles in missile
defeat and defense. A missile defense system includes ground and sea-based interceptor missiles;
associated land, sea and space-based sensors; command, control, battle management, and
communications; and development of advanced technologies designed to meet emerging threats.
Other significant investments include construction, targets and countermeasures, and associated
testing activities. Encompassed in this category are all programs that are either critical to the
functionality of the ballistic missile defense system, tactical ballistic missile interceptor programs
or support missile defense as a primary mission. The funded program is consistent with the 2022
Missile Defense Review, which calls for the development and fielding of an integrated defense of
the homeland and forward-deployed forces.

The FY 2023 budget request continues funding for projects designed to increase the capability and
capacity of the United States to detect, disrupt/defeat (left-of-launch), and defend against use of
ballistic missiles against the United States, its deployed forces, allies, and partners, to include
current and projected threats to the U.S. Homeland, Guam, South Korea, and Japan. The FY 2023
budget request substantially increases tactical air and missile defense interceptor inventories for
the Patriot Advanced Capability-3 Missile Segment Enhancement. FY 2023 continues
investments in Standard Missile-3 variants, and Terminal High Altitude Area Defense programs.
In addition, the FY 2023 request includes funding for the defense of the Guam territory; continues
research of a space layer consisting of sensors; continues development of next generation
interceptors, and invests in development efforts against non-traditional missile threats such as
hypersonic and cruise missiles as well as unmanned aircraft.

Ground-based Midcourse Defense

The Ground-based Midcourse Defense (GMD) element is a Missile Defense
Agency program and a key component of the Missile Defense System,
providing Combatant Commanders with the capability to engage missiles in
the midcourse phase of flight. This phase, compared to boost or terminal,
allows significant time for sensor viewing from multiple platforms and
provides multiple engagement opportunities for hit-to-kill interceptors. The
Ground Based Interceptor (GBI) is made up of a three-stage, solid fuel
booster, and an exoatmospheric kill vehicle. When launched, the multi-
stage, solid fuel booster missile carries the kill vehicle toward the target’s
predicted location in space. Once released from the booster, the kill vehicle
uses data received in-flight from ground-based radars and its own on-board
sensors to defeat the incoming missile by ramming the warhead with a
closing speed of approximately 15,000 miles per hour. Interceptors are
currently emplaced at Fort Greely, Alaska and Vandenberg Air Force Base,
California. The GMD fire control centers are established in Colorado and
Alaska. Next Generation Interceptor (NGI) acquisition covers the
development, integration and testing of an All Up Round boost vehicle/ kill
vehicle system capable of surviving both the natural and hostile
environments while countering the evolving threats to the Homeland.

Mission: Provides the Combatant Commanders with capability to defend the United States,
including Hawaii and Alaska, against long-range ballistic missiles in the midcourse phase of flight.

FY 2023 Program: Strengthens Homeland Missile Defense by developing a new Improved

Homeland Defense Interceptor, the Next Generation Interceptor. Continues the design and
development activities for two competitive interceptor development contracts. NGI funding

Intercept of Target (PATRIOT) system is an
extremely capable, long-range air defense
guided missile system, which provides
protection of ground combat forces and high-
value assets. The PATRIOT air and missile
defense system, which includes the Advanced
Capability (PAC-3) missile and Lower Tier Air
and Missile Defense Sensor (LTAMDS),
provides defense against tactical ballistic
missiles, cruise missiles, and air-breathing
threats worldwide.

The PATRIOT system is deployed by a Fire Unit organized within a Battalion. Each Fire Unit
consists of the Engagement Control Station, a Radar Set, an Electric Power Plant, Launching
Stations, and the Battery Command Post and includes ancillary support equipment. Both the Fire
Unit and the Battalion have dedicated support, communications, and maintenance vehicles, with

PAC-3/Missile Segment Enhancement

The Missile Segment Enhancement (MSE) is a
performance improvement to the existing Phased
Array Tracking Radar to Intercept of Target
(PATRIOT) Advanced Capability-3 (PAC-3)
missile. The MSE’s improved capability is achieved
through a higher performance solid rocket motor,
modified lethality enhancer, more responsive control
surfaces, upgraded guidance software, and
insensitive munitions improvements.

The PAC-3 MSE employs kinetic energy to destroy

targets through a hit-to-kill capability and provides
the range, accuracy, and lethality to effectively
intercept and destroy tactical ballistic missiles, air-
breathing threats, cruise missiles, and unmanned
aerial systems. This missile engages maneuvering and advanced threats earlier, expanding
operational battlespace performance against complex threats. These improvements result in a more
agile, lethal interceptor missile with enhanced Insensitive Munitions compliance. The PAC-3
MSE is the latest generation interceptor fired from the PATRIOT system.

Mission: Provide the Combatant Commanders with a hit-to-kill, surface-to-air missile that can
intercept tactical ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, and air-breathing threats that have chemical,
biological, radiological, nuclear, and conventional high explosive warheads. The MSE extends
the PAC-3 range, filling a critical performance gap, and affords greater protection for deployed
U.S. and allied forces.

Missiles and Munitions

Munitions is a general term for ammunition and missiles. Ammunition consists of bombs,
grenades, rockets, mines, projectiles, and other similar devices. There are conventional and
nuclear missiles used for both tactical and strategic purposes. Many munitions are precision-
guided, enhancing the attack of a broader target set, with limited low-collateral damage. Some
programs include non-explosive articles that enhance the performance of other munitions. For
example, the Joint Direct Attack Munitions (JDAM) adds guidance capability when attached to a
gravity bomb, making it a “smart” precision-guided bomb.

In FY 2023, the Department focused on critical high performance, standoff, and precision strike
weapons to deliver munitions with greater penetration power. Improvements to these weapons
increase range and precision effects in contested environments against high-value land attack
targets. This requires munitions with farther standoff, multi-mode seekers, robust guidance
systems, and less time for target selection. The Long Range Anti-Ship Missile (LRASM) is the
next generation of anti-ship cruise missile with the ability to engage heavily defended maritime
targets at standoff ranges and increased survivability.

The Department has made investments to expand production capacity, procure munitions at
favorable economic rates, and strengthen the industrial base. Precision guided munitions are
manufactured on fully utilized production lines, so pricing economies are secured at economically
feasible rates. The Department is increasing investments in the next generation nuclear cruise
missile, the Long Range Stand-off weapon as well as the Ground Based Strategic Deterrent
ballistic missile system.

Space Based and Related Systems

Space assets support deployed U.S. forces by providing communications services, navigation
capabilities, and information collected by remote sensors such as weather satellites and intelligence
collection systems. Space forces contribute to the overall effectiveness of U.S. military forces by
acting as a force multiplier that enhances combat power. This investment addresses growing
threats, complicating an adversary’s ability to counter U.S. space superiority, while enhancing the
Department’s ability to identify, characterize, and attribute all threatening actions in space. The
capability to control space contributes to achieving information superiority and battle space
dominance. Procurement of launch vehicles and launch services are typically funded 2 years prior
to launch. Under existing budget policy, the first two satellites of a new system are financed with
Research, Development, Test and Evaluation (RDT&E) funding and the remainder follow-on
satellites are fully funded with Procurement funding.
The FY 2023 budget highlights include funding for development of the Next Generation Overhead
Persistent Infrared (NG OPIR) satellites; continues funding for the Evolved Strategic SATCOM
(ESS) and Enhanced Polar System-Recapitalization (EPS-R) hosted payloads; continues the Space
