Programreceipts.com · Independent public-record research
What was promised. What was funded. What followed.
Defense programs span decades. Their original commitments should remain visible when the schedule, budget or definition of success changes.
Program Receipts is a free collection of finished, source-backed program histories. Each record follows the promise through revisions, selected funding and contracts, testing, delivery and the gaps the public evidence cannot settle.
Collection edition · September 12, 2026. Two complete records. Each has its own evidence cutoff; no live status feed, account or subscription.
Record 001 · Edition 1.0
MQ-25 Stingray
The operational forecast moved. The original promise stays visible.
IOC: August 2024 original objective → February 2029 forecast. Fleet-representative first flight in April 2026 is a distinct result.

KC-46A Pegasus
Delivered aircraft. An unfinished capability commitment.

Read the distinctions, not a score
01 / Commitments
The baseline stays visible
Original objectives, revised baselines, current forecasts and actual events have different labels. A new forecast does not erase an earlier commitment.
02 / Money
Funding is not one number
A request, appropriation, obligation, contract ceiling and outlay are different financial stages. Scope and dollar basis travel with the figure.
03 / Results
Delivery is not full capability
A built aircraft, accepted aircraft, test, operational declaration and demonstrated performance each need their own receipt.

A small collection, deliberately complete
These are dated, semi-static research editions—not a comprehensive defense database or a ranking of programs. Source access and reporting gaps are stated in each record. No missing value is turned into zero, and no unverified future milestone is presented as achieved.
There is no paid tier and no automatic monitoring or publication schedule.
