Analysis Simplified
Real Time Defense is an advanced platform that provides efficient data access, comprehensive analysis tools, and a vast document archive – to streamline and improve decision-making in defense budgeting.
At its core is a feature called FYDP Analytics, a digital twin of the Pentagon's internal budget blueprint synched with tools to compare spending requests and forecasts for each line item.
In addition, Real Time Defense aggregates vast amounts of government procurement documents, policy data, and acquisition-related news to track the year-round process of shaping U.S. military spending.
Digital Crosscheck
Instantly compare multiple years of budget data. Eliminate the need for manual document review. Real Time Defense highlights key changes in P1 and R1 budget documents, quickly identifying shifts in DOD budget spending plans – highlighting potential program delays, missed milestones, project acceleration and more. Each budget line is linked to associated justification materials, significantly reducing time spent analyzing analog budget justification materials.
FYDP Analytics
The platform’s flagship feature allows users to perform detailed analysis of multiyear Defense Department budget allocations for all weapons systems and line items. Through this digital twin of the Pentagon’s FYDP, users can track spending patterns and immediately spot out-year funding swings – revealing policy shifts hidden within the numbers.
Document Archive
Real Time Defense has curated and archived tens of thousands of budget, legislative, statutory, oversight, and policy documents – all of which are easily accessible through advanced filtering and sorting tools including a Google-like search interface. This extensive collection provides defense budget analysts with essential context for understanding Pentagon acquisition plans.
