The White House's proposed budget for the US Missile Defense Agency (MDA) reverses a downward trend for the agency, and in fiscal year (FY) 2023 could grow to USD9.628 billion.

MDA's funding had reached a nadir of USD8.917 billion requested in FY 2022, which was down from USD9.187 billion in FY 2021, USD9.431 billion in FY 2020, and USD10.491 billion in FY 2019.

In FY 2023, the Pentagon said its overall request had a total of USD12.3 billion for wider missile defence programmes “including efforts to support the ballistic missile defense system and in other missile defense activities funded by other DoD components, including dual use technologies and programs that serve to mitigate the ballistic missile threat beyond those funded by [MDA]”.
