Historically, continued rising costs have forced O&M budgets to grow faster than previously planned : Historically, continued rising costs have forced O&M budgets to grow faster than previously planned O&M Spending The Bush Administration has budgeted higher increases in O&M spending than have previous administrations
In the past few budget cycles, supplemental spending has provided significant O&M relief , masking true spending
CBO has reported O&M increases are driven by:
Continuing long-term trends of rising O&M costs per active-duty service member in the Army and Marine Corps ground forces
Increased O&M costs for aging weapon systems
New weapon systems that are more complex and have higher O&M costs than the systems they replace
Rising costs have refocused defense firms towards professional services and support work Trends Historic O&M Funding $80 $90 $100 $110 $120 $130 $140 $150 $160 $170 FY99 FY00 FY01 FY02 FY03 FY04 FY05 FY06 FY07 FY08 FY09 FY05-09 FYDP FY03-07 FYDP FY01-05 FYDP FY00-05 FYDP FY99-03 FYDP Current $ Billions FY04-09 FYDP* FY10 FY11 $180 $190 FY07-11 FYDP FY06-11 FYDP Source: DoD, Jane’s Analysis
The war in Iraq has impacted the Army’s budget the most, with funding pulled from other programs to pay for wartime needs : The war in Iraq has impacted the Army’s budget the most, with funding pulled from other programs to pay for wartime needs Future Technologies – Army Trends The war in Iraq has placed a significant strain on the Army’s budget
To fund the war, money has been diverted from other programs including FCS
Recapitalizing equipment from the war zone could drain money from programs into the future
FCS is behind schedule and the future of the program has been called into question
Support technologies that can be integrated with current forces, such as UAVs and sensors, have the highest likelihood of surviving without FCS
The vast bulk of the budget cuts, perhaps 80%, have fallen on FCS accounts in FY12 and FY13
Tactical wheeled vehicles are another area receiving significant funding at present
Joint Light Tactical Vehicle (JLTV) project to develop a more capable light TWV is underway
Efforts to improve survivability and mobility will continue to see funding into the future, regardless of the success of JLTV or other projects Army Funding FY05-FY11 Millions FY07$ Procurement RDT&E Source: DoD, Jane’s Analysis

Significant transformation is occurring in the USN investment budget
New surface combatants: DDG-1000, LCS, CG(X)
New strategic deployment: Sea-basing, LHA(R)
CBO estimates pending for TACAIR procurement at $3.9 billion a year from 2006-2024
FY08-FY11 spending will be highest due to simultaneous acquisition of F/A-18E/F, EA-18G, and F-35 systems
Under the President’s budget, the Navy’s planned annual shipbuilding would grow from four to 12 ships between 2006 and 2011

The B-3, a planned long-range bomber, appears delayed to at least 2020 or beyond
The USAF has started planning for a new medium-range bomber
DoD will end the production of C-17s at 180 aircraft without Congressional mandates
USAF would like to institute a SLEP (Service Life Extension Program) for the C-5s which include new engines
Analysis of Alternatives currently underway for new tankers
KC-767 still likely choice despite issues surrounding planned lease program

level for FY 07, for real growth of 8.6% $93.4B requested to cover operations in the Global War on Terror and is in addition to the $70B previously provided $10.4B for force protection and IED Defeat
Includes improved armour for personnel and vehicles
Includes $2.4 billion for the development and fielding of counter-IED measures
$3.8B to train and equip Iraqi Security Forces and $5.9B to train and equip Afghan Security Forces
$2.7B for military intelligence
$1.1B for critical military construction projects in direct support of deployed troops
$13.9B to repair or replace equipment lost or damaged in combat
$1.7B to support the permanent end strength increases for the Army and Marine Corps $3.7B projected for the Army’s Future Combat System
Major areas of investment include UAVs, manned and unmanned ground vehicles, NLOS systems, and battlefield C3 systems
$14.4B for shipbuilding, an increase of about $3.2B over FY07
$27.0B for air systems, an increase of about $4.1B over FY07 plans
20 F-22As, 18 EA-18Gs, 24 F/A-18 aircraft, 26 V-22 aircraft, UAVs, development and procurement of 12 F-35s, and upgrades to existing aircraft
$6B for continued space-based systems, an increase of about $1.2B over FY07
The FY08 budget continues development of the SBIRS – High, TSAT, the Advanced EHF, Environmental Satellites, and the next generation NAVSTAR GPS
Despite budget growth the buying power of DoD has declined significantly : Despite budget growth the buying power of DoD has declined significantly Conclusions The Administration’s FY08 defense budget request represents a continuation of the previously established priorities
Growth remains strong, with procurement continuing to show increases
Transformational programs transfer into procurement over the FYDP creating an out year bow wave which threatens investment accounts
The topline FY08 defense budget request is more than double that of the FY01 request
Outyear threats to the defense spending have been building since the Bush Administration came to power
A number of budgetary issues may undermine modernization spending with major weapons programs likely to see delays and cancellation (FCS, JSF, E-10A, etc.)
In 2001, the Defense Department reported 71 major weapon programs that cost $790M, by the end of 2005, there were 85 programs costing $1.6B
This has led to cannibalization of non-essential procurements to fund major programs
Given the outyear risks to investment budgets, industry is developing strategies to position themselves to take advantage of the demand for off the shelf systems, moving into foreign markets and moving into tangential (security, IT, etc.) markets
Despite rising budgets, operational demands, rise in procurement costs, and outsourcing of non-combatant roles will limit DoD’s buying power for new and non-essential materials and equipment
