The Senate Armed Services Committee (SASC) has approved its version of the 2026 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), which would add approximately $32 billion to President Trump’s planned military budget of $1.01 trillion.
The SASC’s NDAA would provide $924.7 billion in military spending, including $878.7 billion for the Pentagon, $35.2 billion for the Energy Department’s nuclear programs, and $10.8 billion for other military-related spending. The additional $32 billion would go toward shipbuilding, munitions, and investments in the F-35 fighter jet.
The White House requested a $896.2 billion NDAA and plans to supplement it with $113 billion from the recently passed budget reconciliation bill, which Trump dubbed the “Big Beautiful Bill,” bringing the total military budget for 2026 to $1.01 trillion. Adding the $32 billion from the Senate’s NDAA would bring the total to approximately $1.033 trillion.
So far, the House Armed Services Committee’s version of the NDAA reflects President Trump’s request. The committee will be marking up the bill this week, and once approved, the House and Senate will negotiate the final version of the military spending bill.
