Department of Defense Research, Development, Test, and Evaluation (RDT and E): Appropriations Structure

Abstract

The Department of Defense (DOD) conducts research, development, testing, and evaluation (RDT and E) in support of its mission requirements. The work funded by these appropriations plays a central role in the nations security and an important role in U.S. global leadership in science and technology. DOD alone accounts for 41.4 of all federal R and D appropriations ($64.5 billion of $156.0 billion in FY 2020). In its annual congressional budget requests, DOD presents its RDT and E requests by organization and by its own unique taxonomy aligned to the character of the work to be performed.
