Cada año, el Departamento de Defensa de los EEUU (DOD) eleva un informe al Congreso de ese país sobre el estado de diversos programas de adquisición de armamentos (SAR), detallando la situación, planes, cantidades de compras y financiamiento requerido para cada Programa Principal de Adquisición para la Defensa (MDAP). En el presupuesto de 2018, EEUU proyecta 3,1 mil millones para adquisiciones y más de 517 millones de dólares para I+D, evaluación y ensayos (RDT&E).
Each year, the Department of Defense (DoD) submits Selected Acquisition Reports (SARs) to Congress detailing the status, plans, procurement quantities, and funding requirements for each Major Defense Acquisition Program (MDAP).1 MDAPs are programs where total projected expenditures exceed $517.24 million in Fiscal Year (FY) 2018 dollars for research, development, and test and evaluation (RDT&E) or $3.10 billion in FY 2018 dollars for procurement.2 The most recent unclassified SARs, which were submitted in December 2016 and are consistent with the President’s FY 2018 budget request, include 87 programs, some of which extend more than 20 years into the future. The SARs project that these programs, in then-year dollars, will require roughly $334 billion in funding over the Future Years Defense Program (FYDP) spanning FY 2018 to FY 2022 and an additional $451 billion in FY 2023 and beyond. The public SARs included in this report represent 32 percent of the total modernization budget in the FY 2018 FYDP.3 The remaining 68 percent of funding is used for programs that are too small or too early in their development to have their own SARs.
