US Space Command Cites Sufficient Funding In Trump Budget Request

US Space Command (SPACECOM) has announced that it will not submit an Unfunded Priority List for fiscal 2027, citing the significant investment in space capabilities outlined in the Trump administration’s $1.5 trillion defense budget request. This decision follows a similar move by US Indo-Pacific Command (PACOM), and may indicate that SPACECOM’s highest priority requirements are being met. The command had previously requested $2.5 billion in mostly classified programs for FY26, while the Space Force had asked for $5.98 billion. The development was first reported by Breaking Defense.
