Increased DoD budget good news for COTS suppliers - Story
March 19, 2018
The latest Department of Defense (DoD) fiscal year (FY) 2019 budget request is $686.1 billion, an increase of about five percent over the FY 2018 request. This is outstanding news for the warfighters, as they will get more support from a technology standpoint than during recent years where budget cuts and sequestration were the rule. Embedded commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) electronics suppliers will find it pleasing too, as the budget request provides funding for avionics; intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR); electronic warfare (EW); and radar applications.
