Advanced Research
Abstract
The Advanced Research program conducts leading edge advanced research and development to create and enable future missile defense capabilities. The Missile Defense Agency (MDA) executes this mission by capitalizing on the creativity and innovation of the brightest minds in our Nation's universities; small and large businesses; national laboratories; and collaborative research partnerships between allied countries, academic institutions, and industry. In accordance with identified Agency requirements and Warfighter needs, the program assesses and demonstrates the utility of emerging component technologies. After successful maturation and demonstration activities, the program facilitates transition of the technologies to the Missile Defense System through a Commercialization and Transition Office and other MDA programs.

- Change Summary Explanation
- FY 2021 funding decrease reflects the reprogramming of a $5.0 million Congressional Plus-up to the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) for domestic supply of strategic metals. DLA was the intended recipient of the plus-up. Increase of $26.5 million in FY 2022 provides the Congressional Plus-up for high-speed flight experiment testing, 3D printed high temperature nickel based alloys for hypersonic applications, Benzoxazine for high-mach system thermal protection and laser weapons optics technical risk mitigation. FY 2023 funding increase reflects the fact that the FY 2022 President's Budget request did not include out-year funding.
