Comparison of the FY2020 and FY2021 Precision-Guided Munitions Procurement Requests

Abstract

The Trump Administration has proposed significantly reducing funding for PGMs and associated programs in its FY2021 budget request, compared to its FY2020 budget request. As part of its FY2021 budget proposal to Congress, DOD requested approximately $4.1 billion for 41,337 munitions across 15 programs. The Administration, in its FY2020 request, anticipated it would spend approximately $4.4 billion for 34,454 munitions in FY2021. This represents a $381 million, or 8.5 percent, decrease from expected levels, however an increase of 6,800 weapons or a 20 percent increase in quantities. In particular, the FY2021 request reduces the number of long-range missiles while increasing the number of shorter-range guided bombs. The FY2021 request also reduces weapons procurement for 2021 and shifts procurement into later years of the future year defense program (FYDP).
