0502 UNIFORM BUDGET AND FISCAL ACCOUNTING CLASSIFICATION

050201 RDT&E Budget Activities

The RDT&E budget activities are broad categories reflecting different types of RDT&E efforts. The

definitions are provided below.

Budget Activity 1, Basic Research. Basic research is systematic study directed toward greater knowledge or

understanding of the fundamental aspects of phenomena and of observable facts without specific applications

towards processes or products in mind. It includes all scientific study and experimentation directed toward

increasing fundamental knowledge and understanding in those fields of the physical, engineering, environmental,

and life sciences related to long-term national security needs. It is farsighted high payoff research that provides the

basis for technological progress. Basic research may lead to: (a) subsequent applied research and advanced

technology developments in Defense-related technologies, and (b) new and improved military functional

capabilities in areas such as communications, detection, tracking, surveillance, propulsion, mobility, guidance and

control, navigation, energy conversion, materials and structures, and personnel support. Program elements in this

category involve pre-Milestone A efforts.

Budget Activity 2, Applied Research. Applied research is systematic study to understand the means to meet

a recognized and specific need. It is a systematic expansion and application of knowledge to develop useful

materials, devices, and systems or methods. It may be oriented, ultimately, toward the design, development, and

improvement of prototypes and new processes to meet general mission area requirements. Applied research may

translate promising basic research into solutions for broadly defined military needs, short of system development.

This type of effort may vary from systematic mission-directed research beyond that in Budget Activity 1 to

sophisticated breadboard hardware, study, programming and planning efforts that establish the initial feasibility and

practicality of proposed solutions to technological challenges. It includes studies, investigations, and non-system

specific technology efforts. The dominant characteristic is that applied research is directed toward general military

needs with a view toward developing and evaluating the feasibility and practicality of proposed solutions and

determining their parameters. Applied Research precedes system specific technology investigations or

development. Program control of the Applied Research program element is normally exercised by general level of

effort. Program elements in this category involve pre-Milestone B efforts, also known as Concept and Technology

Development phase tasks, such as concept exploration efforts and paper studies of alternative concepts for meeting

a mission need.

Budget Activity 3, Advanced Technology Development (ATD). This budget activity includes development

of subsystems and components and efforts to integrate subsystems and components into system prototypes for field

experiments and/or tests in a simulated environment. ATD includes concept and technology demonstrations of

components and subsystems or system models. The models may be form, fit and function prototypes or scaled

models that serve the same demonstration purpose. The results of this type of effort are proof of technological

feasibility and assessment of subsystem and component operability and producibility rather than the development of

hardware for service use. Projects in this category have a direct relevance to identified military needs. Advanced

Technology Development demonstrates the general military utility or cost reduction potential of technology when

applied to different types of military equipment or techniques. Program elements in this category involve pre-

Milestone B efforts, such as system concept demonstration, joint and Service-specific experiments or Technology

Demonstrations and generally have Technology Readiness Levels of 4, 5, or 6. Projects in this category do not

necessarily lead to subsequent development or procurement phases, but should have the goal of moving out of

Science and Technology (S&T) and into the acquisition process within the future years defense program (FYDP).

Upon successful completion of projects that have military utility, the technology should be available for transition.

Budget Activity 4, Advanced Component Development and Prototypes (ACD&P). Efforts necessary to

evaluate integrated technologies, representative modes or prototype systems in a high fidelity and realistic operating

environment are funded in this budget activity. The ACD&P phase includes system specific efforts that help

expedite technology transition from the laboratory to operational use. Emphasis is on proving component and

5-2

+June 2004

subsystem maturity prior to integration in major and complex systems and may involve risk reduction initiatives.

Program elements in this category involve efforts prior to Milestone B and are referred to as advanced component

development activities and include technology demonstrations. Completion of Technology Readiness Levels 6 and

7 should be achieved for major programs. Program control is exercised at the program and project level. A logical

progression of program phases and development and/or production funding must be evident in the FYDP.

Budget Activity 5, System Development and Demonstration (SDD). SDD programs have passed Milestone

B approval and are conducting engineering and manufacturing development tasks aimed at meeting validated

requirements prior to full-rate production. This budget activity is characterized by major line item projects and

program control is exercised by review of individual programs and projects. Prototype performance is near or at

planned operational system levels. Characteristics of this budget activity involve mature system development,

integration and demonstration to support Milestone C decisions, and conducting live fire test and evaluation

(LFT&E) and initial operational test and evaluation (IOT&E) of production representative articles. A logical

progression of program phases and development and production funding must be evident in the FYDP consistent

with the Department’s full funding policy.

Budget Activity 6, RDT&E Management Support. This budget activity includes research, development, test

and evaluation efforts and funds to sustain and/or modernize the installations or operations required for general

research, development, test and evaluation. Test ranges, military construction, maintenance support of laboratories,

operation and maintenance of test aircraft and ships, and studies and analyses in support of the RDT&E program are

funded in this budget activity. Costs of laboratory personnel, either in-house or contractor operated, would be

assigned to appropriate projects or as a line item in the Basic Research, Applied Research, or Advanced Technology

Development program areas, as appropriate. Military construction costs directly related to major development

programs are included.

Budget Activity 7, Operational System Development. This budget activity includes development efforts to

upgrade systems that have been fielded or have received approval for full rate production and anticipate production

funding in the current or subsequent fiscal year. All items are major line item projects that appear as RDT&E Costs

of Weapon System Elements in other programs. Program control is exercised by review of individual projects.

Programs in this category involve systems that have received Milestone C approval. A logical progression of

program phases and development and production funding must be evident in the FYDP, consistent with the

Department’s full funding policy.

050202 Establishing RDT&E Program Elements

A. The program element is the primary data element in the Future Years Defense Program (FYDP) and is

the major aggregation, at which RDT&E efforts are organized, budgeted and reviewed. All funding associated with

a major system new start should be identified in a unique program element. Requests to establish program elements

should be forwarded to OSD Program Analysis and Evaluation for coordination and approval. Instructions are

contained in DoD 7045.7-H, “The FYDP Program Structure Handbook.”

B. In general, the coding symbology identifies the RDT&E budget activity for the program element.

Program elements in RDT&E budget activities 1 through 6 will have “06” in the first two positions; “06”indicates it

is part of Major Force Program 6, Research and Development. The third and fourth position will identify the

specific budget activity (e.g., 0602 is an RDT&E budget activity 2 program element). Program elements in RDT&E

budget activity 7 reflect the Major Program of the fielded system in the first two positions (e.g., “01” indicates a

strategic system).

Instructions - Exhibit R-3, RDT&E Project Cost Analysis

General: The R-3 exhibit is required only for projects with funding greater than $1 million in budget year 1 or

budget year 2 for programs funded in budget activities 4, 5, and 7 only. A separate R-3 exhibit shall be prepared for

each project in an applicable R-1 line item. These exhibits shall be printed on 8 1/2 by 11 inch paper in landscape

format. If a program element is not divided into projects, then the program element itself is defined as a project for

purposes of submitting an R-3 exhibit and the R-3 exhibit and instructions apply to the entire program element.

Classified material shall be submitted separately.

Date: Identify the month and year of submission of the exhibit. If an Amended Budget is submitted, identify the

date of the revised submission.

Appropriation/Budget Activity. Identify the appropriation and budget activity. The budget activity must match the

RDT&E service annex and data base lock position.

Project Cost Categories. Cost information shall be provided for each project with funding greater than $1 million in

budget year 1 or budget year 2, with project costs broken down into cost categories. Sample cost categories shown

are typical of various types of defense research and development efforts. Costs shall be distributed among

categories in accordance with the project work breakdown structure (WBS) or other categories used by the project

office in project execution. The illustrated sample cost categories may be used if these correspond to the project's

structure; however, there is no requirement to use cost categories other than those used by the project office in

project execution. Sample cost categories not used in project execution need not be included in the exhibit for that

project. If the program office tracks efforts by major contract, then display the information accordingly. The cost

categories shall be separated into 4 information categories as follows:

Product Development. Efforts associated with the delivery of a fully integrated system that are in direct

support of the system and essential to the development, training, operation, and maintenance of the system. Include

all efforts directly supporting system development and delivery to include primary contracts, major component

contracts, contracted services, in-house support, and government furnished property. Contracts or government

efforts greater than $1 million in any displayed budget year shall be reported individually.

Support Costs. Efforts not directly associated with the delivery of the primary product, including technical

engineering services, research studies, and technical support not related directly to product development or to

testing and evaluation. Contracts or government efforts greater than $1 million in any displayed budget year shall

be reported individually.

Test and Evaluation. Efforts (other than those included within contracts or government efforts included

above) associated with engineering or support activities to determine the acceptability of a system, subsystem, or

component. Contracts or government efforts greater than $1 million in any displayed budget year shall be reported

individually.

Management Services. Efforts associated with services provided in support of program office management

and administration processes such as: program oversight, resource justification, budget and programming,

milestone and schedule tracking. Federally Funded Research and Development Centers (FFRDCs) are in this

category. Contracts or government efforts greater than $1 million in any displayed budget year shall be reported

individually.
