• The Army revised the acquisition strategy for an organic, unmanned, aerial system at division level that conducts reconnaissance,
surveillance and target attacks. (FY 2014, $-0.2 billion; FYDP, $-0.3 billion).

high-capacity voice, data and video communications on-the-move was delayed. (FY 2014, $-0 million; FYDP, $-24 million).
• Funding was eliminated for the Navy’s Organic Airborne and Surface Influence Sweep (OASIS) procurement in FY 2014 by
eliminating three minesweeping systems. MH-60S helicopter towing missions were also terminated. The OASIS was terminated
