# DOW Discloses FY26 Intelligence Funding

On November 2, 2026, the Department of War disclosed **$30.9 billion** in appropriated FY 2026 Military Intelligence Program funding, about 11% above FY 2025 but $2.7 billion below its request. The Office of the Director of National Intelligence separately reported **$78.1 billion** for the National Intelligence Program, nearly $5 billion above FY 2025 and $3.8 billion below its request. DOW has requested $50 billion for the MIP in FY 2027. Because program-level details remain classified, these figures are top-line funding signals—not identified contract opportunities—and do not represent all U.S. intelligence spending.

- Contractors can use the MIP and NIP totals as context for market planning, but the signals do not identify specific programs, requirements, solicitations, or awardees.
- The FY 2027 MIP request indicates a proposed increase in funding; companies should distinguish the request from enacted appropriations when assessing potential demand.
- Businesses pursuing intelligence work should base capture plans on specific solicitations and agency requirements as they become available, rather than treating aggregate budget figures as addressable contract funding.
