File Description [top]

PEDS: Defense Program Summaries database is a collection of "justification" documents that correlate to each defense program element. Literally meaning Program Element Descriptive Summaries, PEDS provide detailed descriptions of specific programs and their costs. There is a separate group of PEDS for each branch of the service.

Contributing service branches (SV=) include:

Air Force
Army
Navy

In addition, PEDS authored by Defense Agencies cover programs that cross several service organizations.
