2016 DOD budget for

 communications, electronics,

 and intelligence headed up

 after two flat years






WASHINGTON, 5 Feb. 2015. U.S. military electronics spending 
appears to be headed back up next after two years of modest funding
 levels. The U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) is asking Congress
 for $11 billion in fiscal 2016 for procurement and research in military
 communications, electronics, telecommunications, and intelligence 
(CET&I) technologies.
The Pentagon's 2016 CET&I request is up 13.4 percent from the 
$9.7 billion that Congress allocated for these accounts for this year. 
The Pentagon released its 2016 DOD budget request this week.
The $11 billion request for communications, electronics, 
telecommunications, and intelligence equipment and research is the 
highest in at least two years. These accounts contained $15.1 billion as
 recently as fiscal 2012.

The DOD request for CET&I procurement and research does not
 include military activities with substantial electronics content, such as
 aircraft avionics, vetronics, and missile guidance; when these are 
added, DOD spending levels for military electronics and defense 
electro-optics next year could approach $90 billion, industry 
analysts believe.
The DOD's CET&* budget request for fiscal 2016, which begins next 
October, includes $7.9 billion for procurement, which is up nearly 18
 percent from this year's congressional enacted level of %6.7 billion.
The proposed budget also requests $3.1 billion for CET&I research,
 development, test, and evaluation (RDT&E), which is up 3.5 percent
 from this year's enacted level of $2.97 billion.
Highlights of the Army's CET&I 2016 budget request include
 $783.1 million for the Warfighter Information Network-Tactical
 (WIN-T); $118.1 million for the Defense enterprise Wideband
 Satellite Communications Systems; $103 million for the Installation
 Information Infrastructure Modernization program; and
 $314.4 million for the Distributed Common Ground System - 
Army (DCGS-A).
Highlights of the Navy's CET&I request include $103.2 million for the
 AN/SQQ-89 surface anti-submarine warfare combat system;
 $214.8 million for attack submarine acoustics; $146.97 for the Fixed 
Surveillance System wide-area sonar; $148.2 million for shipboard 
information warfare exploitation; $279 million for the Consolidated
 Afloat Networks and Enterprise Services (CANES) program; 
and $118.1 million for the Navy Multiband Terminal (NMT).
