What Is A New Start?
A new start is a budget line introduced this fiscal year with no prior-year funding and is not a renamed, transferred, or restructured version of an existing line. New starts include new lines of effort, new platforms and technologies, research activities transitioning to procurement for the first time, and other noteworthy additions to the budget each year.
Note: Totals by service are sums from the R-1, P-1, and O-1 budget exhibits filtered by service. These are not inclusive of Military Personnel, Military Construction, or other appropriation types. These are subject to change as more budget materials are released.
