The U.S. Navy\u2019s fiscal 2025 budget request for Project Overmatch, its effort to digitally link people, ships and sensors over vast distances, is too sensitive to make public, according to the service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Asked for potential spending details, a Naval Information Warfare Systems Command spokesperson said the budget is considered controlled unclassified information<\/a>, or CUI, \u201cand as such, we are unable to provide the requested information at this time.\u201d The Navy sought at least $192 million in FY24 and secured $226 million in FY23.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Project Overmatch represents the service\u2019s contribution to the Defense Department\u2019s multibillion-dollar connectivity campaign known as Combined Joint All-Domain Command and Control. Military leaders have shared few specifics about its maturation since inception in 2020, citing Russian and Chinese monitoring. It was not clear why information could be distributed in past fiscal years but not the upcoming one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rear Adm. Ben Reynolds, the Navy\u2019s deputy assistant secretary for the budget, previously told reporters at the Pentagon that Project Overmatch<\/a> funding would be applied to software development and \u201csome hardware that goes on our ships, goes into our numbered fleets, and then provides them the capability to operate distributed.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\t
