Budget Overview—Definitions

•This research service discusses the U.S. DoD 2013 budget request, which is the fourth budget of the Obama administration.

•Funding for RDT&E, procurement, O&M, military construction and family housing (C&H), revolving management funds (RMF), and OCO are included.

•The 2013 budget request is broken out by category, military-service component, funding type, and application segments. Further included in this budget analysis are some of the major changes and shifts in priorities, the primary competitive and technology trends, and the major market participants.

•The intent of this study is to indicate which segments of products and services the DoD has emphasized in the budget request so that firms can invest in these priority areas.

•This research service does not include classified programs and budgets. A substantial amount of DoD spending data is not accessible to the public.

•Official DoD budget data is rounded, therefore, some reported figures will not add exactly.

•Contract and industry-competitive data is based on the 2011 calendar year. Program funding and contract values do not always align year to year, which is a result of a combination of administration costs, multiyear contracts, and technology use across segments.

•Program and contract-funding forecasts for 2012 and are made at the analyst's discretion.
