The Comptroller XML Exhibits was first implemented during the FY 2009 Budget Estimate Submission cycle for Research, Development, Test, and Evaluation (RDT&E) Budget Exhibits. The CXE application expanded to include all RDT&E Budget and
Procurement exhibits in 2012. The application has been used in 38 separate Program Objective Memorandum (POM), Budget Estimate Submission, President’s Budget request and Amended budget submission cycles and is an essential component within the
Department of Defense's (DoD) Budget Formulation process. It integrates 350 RDT&E and 150 Procurement budget exhibits created by all DoD components into 75 standard, well formatted, validated, and math checked Justification Books, suitable for submission to Congress. Mandated by policy, the Budget Estimate Submission is required to be submitted to the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense, Comptroller (OUSD(C) each September and mandated by law, the President’s Budget request must be delivered to Congress every year during the first week of February.
