Sec. 801—Ensuring Best Value in Procurement This section would codify two sections of Public Law that limit the use of lowest price technically acceptable source selection processes to situations where minimum requirements are clear and paying more would provide little additional benefit (section 813 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 114-328) and section 880 of the John S. McCain National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019 (Public Law 115-232)). This section would also amend section 152 of title 41, United States Code, to ensure that executive agencies do not make contracting decisions based solely on the lowest price when higher-quality or more capable proposals could provide better long-term value under full and open competition procedures. Sec. 802—Limitation on Certain Contract Clauses for Commercial Products or Commercial Services This section would make a clarifying amendment to section 3452 of title 10, United States Code, to clarify that clauses under Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 15 (Contracting by Negotiation) do not apply to contracts governed by FAR Part 12 (Acquisition of Commercial Products and Services) when a FAR Part 12 clause already addresses the same matter. Sec. 803—Limitation on Suspension of Progress Payments This section would amend section 3804 of title 10, United States Code, to restrict the Secretary of Defense from reducing or suspending a progress payment to a contractor without finding substantial evidence justifying the suspension or reduction of payment under Federal Acquisition Regulation clause 52.232-16.

Sec. 804—Uniform Requirements for Electronic Contract Writing Systems and Acquisition Management Systems This section would add a new section 4755 to title 10, United States Code, to clarify and codify existing requirements for the Secretary of Defense to maintain uniform data standards, internal control requirements, and independent verification and validation requirements for processing procurement requests, contracts, receipts, and invoices within the Department of Defense. This section would also require the Secretary to develop a phased implementation strategy to transition the Department to systems that are compliant with any new requirements developed as a result of section 4755. In addition, this section would add a new section 1132 to title 41, United States Code, to codify requirements for electronic contract writing systems and acquisition management systems for executive agencies other than the Department of Defense.

This section would also make adjustments to several contracting thresholds established by title 10 and title 41, United States Code, including the simplified acquisition threshold and the micro-purchase threshold. Sec. 812—Use of Accrued Interest by Certain Consortium Managers This section would amend section 4021 of title 10, United States Code, to establish guidelines for how interest accrued on advance payments by the Department of Defense to a consortium management organization can be used. 11
Sec. 813—Amendment to Other Transaction Authority This section would amend section 4022 of title 10, United States Code, to authorize an official responsible for entering into other transactions for prototype projects to assess demonstrated performance, speed of delivery, and the alignment of a capability with the needs of the Department of Defense as the primary factors in determining the financial structure of an award.

Sec. 814—Requirement for Modular Open System Approach and Modifications to Rights in Technical Data This section would amend section 4401 of title 10, United States Code, to clarify that a modular open system approach should be tailored to the characteristics, intended use, planned service life, and other relevant factors of a system in order to support broader adoption of modular and interoperable designs. Accordingly, this section would also make conforming repeals of sections 4402 and 4403 of title 10, and section 804 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2021 (Public Law 116-283).

This section would also amend section 4873 of title 10, United States Code, to revise the exception for purchases of covered printed circuit boards to apply to amounts below $10,000, adjusted for inflation every 5 years, instead of tying the exception to the micro-purchase threshold. Sec. 816—Codification of Program for Negotiation of Comprehensive Small Business Subcontracting Plans This section would establish a new section in title 10, United States Code, to codify the requirement for the Secretary of Defense to maintain a program under which service acquisition executives and heads of a Defense Agency are authorized to negotiate and administer comprehensive subcontracting plans. Sec. 817—Consumption-Based Procurements and Associated Payments This section would amend section 3324 of title 31, United States Code, to authorize agency heads to make advance payments for commercially available content and certain information and communications technology subscriptions, reservations, or tenancy arrangements, including cloud environments, where the 12
procuring agency establishes appropriate access and security standards. This section would also add a new section 2314 to title 41, United States Code, to authorize agencies to acquire services through consumption-based solutions that are billed based on actual usage. In addition, this section would modify and extend the pilot program for consumption-based solutions authorized under section 809 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2024 (Public Law 118-31). Sec. 818—Transfer Authority for Rapid Transition of Other Transaction Authority Prototypes This section would authorize a Portfolio Acquisition Executive (PAE) within the Department of Defense to transfer not more than 10 percent of authorized amounts made available for research, development, test, and evaluation programs, projects, or activities within the PAE's portfolio.

This section would also direct the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment to use commercially available tools to the maximum extent practicable when developing and maintaining this capability. Sec. 832—Chief Acquisition Talent Officer This section would amend chapter 87 of title 10, United States Code, to establish a Chief Acquisition Talent Officer of the Department of Defense to serve as the principal staff assistant to the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment on Department-wide acquisition workforce strategy and talent management. This section would also require the Chief Acquisition Talent Officer to submit an annual report to the congressional defense committees assessing workforce capacity and capability, identifying critical gaps, and providing recommendations to strengthen the acquisition workforce. Sec. 833—Codification of Acquisition Workforce Key Performance Objectives 13
This section would amend section 1722b of title 10, United States Code, to require the Secretary of Defense to implement mandatory key performance objectives for civilian members of the acquisition workforce, codifying requirements previously established under section 826 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2026 (Public Law 119-60). Sec. 834—Demonstrated Proficiency Requirements for Critical Acquisition Positions This section would amend section 1731 of title 10, United States Code, to require that individuals serving in civilian critical acquisition positions demonstrate proficiency in achieving the key performance objectives that would be established under section 1722b(d) of this title in a provision elsewhere in this Act, including through the effective use of new acquisition authorities and approaches provided by Congress. This section would also require the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment to establish a Department-wide framework to assess demonstrated proficiency with those key performance objectives.

This section would also insert a new section 3792a to establish a mediation process through which the Department of Defense and contractors may seek to resolve intellectual property disputes before resorting to litigation. This section would further authorize the Secretary of Defense, under certain conditions, to approve a binding recommendation requiring a covered contractor to provide non- deliverable access to disputed intellectual property. Finally, this section would require the Secretary of Defense to implement sections 3792 and 3792a not later than 180 days after the date of enactment of this Act.

TITLE II—RESEARCH, DEVELOPMENT, TEST, AND EVALUATION R ESEARCH , D EVELOPMENT , T EST , AND E VALUATION , D EFENSE -W IDE Items of Special Interest Design for Robotic Assembly in Weapon System Development The committee recognizes that many current weapon systems were designed for low-rate, manual production by skilled workers using bespoke tooling. Additionally, the committee is aware that advances in artificial intelligence, robotics, and autonomous manufacturing could enable robotic assembly at rates and levels of consistency not achievable through predominantly manual production methods. The committee believes that incorporating Design for Robotic Assembly (DFRA) principles during the engineering and development phase of new weapon systems could help improve manufacturability, scalability, and surge production capacity in the event of a high-intensity conflict. Therefore, the committee directs the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment, in coordination with the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering, to submit a report to the congressional defense committees not later than March 1, 2027, on how DFRA principles are being incorporated into the engineering, development, and manufacturing of new weapon systems. The report shall also include an overview of how the Department will reduce reliance on robotics and automation systems manufactured or assembled by entities domiciled in or subject to the control of China, Russia, Iran, or North Korea. O PERATIONAL T EST AND E VALUATION , D EFENSE Items of Special Interest Support for Multi-Service Advanced Capability Hypersonic Test Bed The committee supports ongoing Department of Defense efforts to create a capable and versatile Multi-Service Advanced Capability Hypersonic Test Bed (MACH-TB), and notes the growing demand for MACH-TB flights from Department stakeholders. The committee is aware that such demand extends to strategic nuclear programs, as such systems may operate in similar flight regimes due to their extreme speeds, demanding trajectories, and aerodynamic heating challenges. The committee recognizes that MACH-TB can therefore be a cost-effective test platform capable of serving both the hypersonic and strategic weapons communities. The committee applauds the Department’s efforts to merge these common testing priorities and execute them within the MACH-TB program. The committee believes these activities are vital to programs with essential national 470
security implications and notes the importance of robust funding to meet the growing demand for testing. The committee is encouraged that the President's budget request for fiscal year 2027 included over $1.00 billion for the MACH-TB program. The committee directs the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services not later than March 1, 2027, containing the current flight test plan manifest for MACH-TB, including the programs and activities being supported and an assessment of how MACH-TB could be best leveraged to advance strategic nuclear programs and homeland defense capabilities. TITLE VIII—ACQUISITION POLICY, ACQUISITION MANAGEMENT, AND RELATED MATTERS ITEMS OF SPECIAL INTEREST Acquisition Workforce Data and Analytics The committee notes that the Department of Defense currently relies on multiple, fragmented systems and external analysis to manage acquisition workforce data, limiting enterprise-wide visibility into workforce capacity and capability, and impeding effective and adaptive talent planning and management. The committee also notes that integrated workforce data and real-time analytics capabilities are standard practice across leading private sector organizations and are foundational to strategic talent management. Therefore, the committee directs the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services not later than March 1, 2027, on the implementation of the acquisition workforce data transparency capability established elsewhere in this Act. The briefing should include: (1) progress toward achieving full operational capability not later than 1 year after the date of enactment of this Act; (2) identification of the data systems, sources, and tools being used to integrate acquisition workforce data across the Department of Defense in support of such capability, including any data analytics or visualization tools; (3) an explanation of the extent to which commercially available workforce analytics, talent management, and data visualization tools are being used; (4) an assessment of actions taken to standardize data definitions and reporting requirements across the military departments, defense agencies, and other Department of Defense components to support the capability; (5) identification of any challenges associated with integrating existing data sources, including challenges related to data access, standardization, or the provision of data by the military departments, Defense Agencies, and other 471
Department of Defense components, and the steps being taken to address such challenges; and (6) a description of how the capability is being used to support acquisition workforce planning, assessments of acquisition workforce capacity and capability, and acquisition decision-making by the Department. Compliance with Commercial Preference Requirements in the Acquisition of Simulation Capabilities Subtitle C of title 18 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2026 (Public Law 119-60) is comprised of numerous provisions that clarify congressional intent and strengthen the longstanding federal contracting framework that requires the use of commercial preference in acquisition practices to the maximum extent practicable. The committee is concerned that the military services are not fully implementing such laws when it comes to requirements related to the acquisition of simulation and training capabilities. Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services not later than April 1, 2027, on the acquisition of simulation capabilities, including those that enhance the ability to develop image-generated mission scenarios; plan and manage complex missions across a range of capabilities, such as radar jamming, electronic warfare, and adversarial actions; employ firearms in complex and often dangerous scenarios; and perform real-time aircraft threat evasion and response. The briefing should include the following: (1) an assessment of current compliance with commercial preference requirements under section 3453 of title 10, United States Code, for simulation capabilities; (2) an accounting of all sole-source contracts awarded for design or development of simulation capabilities during fiscal years 2023, 2024, 2025, and 2026, including the justification provided for such awards; and (3) a description of specific steps the Department is taking to ensure future compliance with commercial preference requirements in the acquisition of simulation capabilities, including a discussion of any updates or clarifications to policy being made or planned; a summary of training programs for contracting officers and program managers in the application of commercial preference in defense acquisitions; and an analysis of barriers to commercial competition in the training and simulation market, including any recommendations for legislative or regulatory changes to further enhance competition and commercial participation. Defense Civilian Training Corps Integration into Acquisition Workforce Planning The committee continues to support the Defense Civilian Training Corps (DCTC), established by section 860 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2020 (Public Law 116-92). The committee notes that DCTC builds 472
critical skills among students in postsecondary education and better prepares them to contribute to the acquisition workforce upon entering civilian service. The committee further notes that the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2026 (Public Law 119-60) expanded DCTC by providing direct hiring authority for program graduates. However, the committee notes that the Department has not fully integrated the program into acquisition workforce planning and hiring strategies in the same way it has incorporated other structured talent pipelines, such as the Reserve Officers’ Training Corps. Accordingly, the committee directs the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment, in coordination with the Director of the Acquisition Innovation Research Center and the Service Acquisition Executives, to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services not later than March 1, 2027, on the Department's strategy for integrating and scaling DCTC as part of the acquisition workforce pipeline. The briefing should include the following: (1) the Department's plan to integrate DCTC into acquisition workforce planning, including planning and budgeting for hiring DCTC graduates into permanent acquisition workforce positions; (2) lessons learned from the DCTC talent development program regarding experiential learning for the future civilian acquisition workforce; and (3) recommendations for potential legislative or policy changes required to expand existing DCTC program authority to include opportunities for DCTC graduates to gain experience with industry partners. Demonstrated Proficiency for Critical Acquisition Positions The committee believes that individuals serving in critical acquisition positions, as defined in section 1731 of title 10, United States Code, should be able to demonstrate proficiency in achieving the key performance objectives established for the acquisition workforce, including through the use of the expanded acquisition authorities, pathways, and methods Congress has provided to the Department of Defense. Accordingly, elsewhere in this Act, section 1731 would be amended to require demonstrated proficiency for individuals serving in such positions. Therefore, the committee directs the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services not later than March 1, 2027, on the Department’s plan to implement demonstrated proficiency requirements for individuals in critical acquisition positions. The briefing should include: (1) how the Department will establish and implement the framework to assess demonstrated proficiency requirements beyond the completion of training or certification requirements; (2) how such demonstrated proficiency requirements will be incorporated into workforce development, career progression, and assignment decisions; 473
(3) how the Department will ensure that such demonstrated proficiency requirements are applied appropriately across different acquisition career fields and roles; and (4) any challenges to implementation, including legal, policy, or practical limitations. Implementation of the Chief Acquisition Talent Officer The committee notes that sections 1701 and 1702 of title 10, United States Code, establish Department-wide responsibilities for the management and uniform implementation of acquisition workforce policy. However, the committee remains concerned about persistent fragmentation in acquisition workforce planning, development, and management across the Department, which limits capacity and complicates the Department's ability to achieve acquisition outcomes. The committee believes that the Department should adopt leading private sector management practices by designating a senior official responsible for integrating acquisition workforce strategy, planning, data, and performance management. Accordingly, the committee directs the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment, in coordination with the Service Acquisition Executives and the Component Acquisition Executives, to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services not later than February 1, 2027, on the Department’s plan to implement the role of Chief Acquisition Talent Officer, established elsewhere in this Act. The briefing should include: (1) a timeline and key milestones to achieve full operating capability for the Chief Acquisition Talent Officer not later than 1 year after enactment of this Act; (2) the delineation of roles and responsibilities among the Chief Acquisition Talent Officer, Service Chief Acquisition Talent Officers, Component Chief Acquisition Talent Officers, Service Acquisition Executives, Component Acquisition Executives, and Portfolio Acquisition Executives; (3) plans to develop and implement a Department-wide acquisition workforce strategy, planning processes, and data standards; (4) plans to effectively leverage the Department-wide acquisition workforce data analytics capability established elsewhere in this Act in workforce planning, assessments, and decision-making; and (5) any challenges to implementation, including resource, policy, or statutory limitations. The committee believes that establishment of the Chief Acquisition Talent Officer will support execution of the Department’s Acquisition Transformation Strategy, particularly with respect to strengthening acquisition workforce capacity, capability, and performance. Leveraging Subscription-Based Procurement Models The committee recognizes the important steps the Department of Defense has taken to modernize acquisition processes and establish more effective and 474
efficient pathways for delivering innovative capabilities to the warfighter, consistent with the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2026 (Public Law 119-60). The committee supports the Department’s continued efforts to reform acquisition practices to improve speed, resilience, and strategic alignment across the enterprise. As these reforms progress, the committee believes the Department should do more to leverage subscription-based procurement models for software, platforms, and mission support capabilities where appropriate. Such approaches have the potential to enhance adaptability, reduce lifecycle costs, and expand access to cutting-edge technologies. The committee notes that a standardized framework governing subscription-first procurement, including evaluation criteria, contracting mechanisms, and compliance measures, would support broader adoption across the Department. Therefore, the committee directs the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services not later than March 1, 2027, on subscription-based procurement and related acquisition modernization efforts. The briefing shall include: (1) education, training, and workforce development efforts to ensure the workforce is capable and confident in applying subscription-based procurement models; (2) rates of use of subscription-based procurement models across the Department of Defense; (3) lessons learned from the use of subscription-based procurements, and how those lessons learned are being shared across the workforce of the Department; (4) benefits obtained through subscription models, such as cost savings or other operational efficiencies; and (5) observed or anticipated modernization outcomes. Modernizing Acquisition Processes Through Model-Based Systems Engineering The committee concurs with the assessment by the Secretary of Defense that model-based systems engineering (MBSE) is foundational to modernizing acquisition processes, improving requirements development and traceability, and enhancing lifecycle system management and sustainment. The committee notes that inconsistent implementation, fragmented tool environments, and uneven workforce adoption continue to limit the Department’s ability to fully realize the benefits of MBSE. The committee further notes the importance of establishing enterprise-wide governance, standards, and measurable outcomes to ensure MBSE is effectively integrated into requirements generation, acquisition, testing, and sustainment activities. Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services not later than August 1, 2027, on the Department’s enterprise-level plan for implementing MBSE. The briefing should include: 475
(1) the strategic objectives for MBSE adoption aligned with Department- wide digital engineering directives and modernization priorities; (2) a description of governance structures, decision authorities, and accountability mechanisms guiding enterprise-wide MBSE implementation; (3) an identification of resource requirements, including digital workforce development, training, infrastructure, and sustainment needs; (4) milestones and measurable metrics for phased MBSE adoption across the Department; and (5) a plan for integrating MBSE into requirements development, acquisition decision-making, testing, and sustainment processes. Modernizing the Acquisition Education and Training Ecosystem The committee notes that the acquisition workforce increasingly requires specialized skills in areas such as software acquisition, digital engineering, artificial intelligence, data analytics, cloud computing, commercial acquisition pathways, and an understanding of commercial business models, private capital, and investment dynamics. The committee recognizes that the Department relies heavily on the Defense Acquisition University (DAU) as the primary provider of acquisition workforce training but is concerned that it may not be fully leveraging external training opportunities. While DAU provides foundational training, the committee believes the Department should ensure the workforce has access to high-quality learning opportunities from universities, industry practitioners, federally funded research and development centers, certification programs, and other non- Department providers to meet evolving mission needs. Accordingly, the committee directs the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services not later than March 1, 2027, on the Department’s strategy for acquisition workforce education and training with a focus on non-Department providers. The briefing should include: (1) an evaluation of whether the current acquisition workforce education and training structure adequately supports workforce needs in rapidly evolving technology areas and modern commercial acquisition and investment practices; (2) a description of the Department's use of experiential learning approaches, including training simulators, gaming, or other applied learning platforms, to accelerate the development of acquisition workforce skills; (3) a description of the Department’s use of external learning providers; (4) an assessment of DAU’s use of temporary staff from leading management and business schools or research institutions to supplement DAU faculty, broaden faculty expertise, and improve educational experiences; (5) an identification of any statutory, regulatory, policy, or funding barriers limiting the use of non-Department training providers; 476
(6) a description of how acquisition workforce development funding, including amounts from the Defense Acquisition Workforce Development Account, is allocated for training provided by DAU and external providers; (7) an assessment of whether acquisition workforce development funding mechanisms or other management practices provide sufficient flexibility to support training from external providers; and (8) recommendations to improve access to external expertise and modernize acquisition workforce education and training. TITLE X—GENERAL PROVISIONS ITEMS OF SPECIAL INTEREST Counter Small Uncrewed Aerial Systems at the Southern Border The committee notes, with concern, that transnational criminal organizations (TCOs) are known to use small, unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) along the U.S.–Mexico border for reconnaissance and smuggling purposes. The committee further notes that small UAS are increasingly resistant to traditional radio frequency (RF) detection and countermeasures. The committee also notes that mitigation of UAS over populated territory, including near the U.S.–Mexico border, brings unique challenges and safety concerns. The committee encourages the Department of Defense to pursue rapid acquisition and fielding of UAS capable of monitoring TCO activity and low collateral effects interceptors capable of safe, kinetic small UAS mitigation within the United States to forces deployed at or near the southern border. Accordingly, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense to submit a report to the congressional defense committees not later than December 1, 2026, on how the Department is using UAS and counter-UAS technology to disrupt TCOs operating near the U.S.–Mexico border and the small UAS capabilities of such TCOs. Enhancing American Commercial Remote Sensing Support to U.S. Border Operations The committee recognizes the proliferation of American commercial remote sensing companies and the potential for their integration into various Department of Defense mission sets. The committee notes that U.S. Northern Command benefits from commercial remote sensing capabilities to monitor illicit aerial, land-based, and maritime drug trafficking routes, migration, and topographical changes along U.S. borders. The committee directs the Commander, U.S. Northern Command, to provide a report to the congressional defense committees not later than March 1, 2027, on current practices, identified gaps, and planned enhancements to 477
incorporate commercial remote sensing data into analysis, force protection, and mission planning while avoiding duplication of effort. The report should include: (1) information regarding existing use of commercial remote sensing capabilities at U.S. military bases and Department-led fusion centers along the northern and southern borders; (2) details on gaps or limitations in current information sharing related to commercial remote sensing data at these installations, including gaps arising from coordination, data access, or interoperability with the Department of Homeland Security; (3) possible areas for greater coordination and deconfliction with the Department of Homeland Security ahead of and during Department of Defense missions along the borders, including mechanisms to leverage Department of Homeland Security data holdings and analytic activities, as appropriate; and (4) an assessment of operational effectiveness and cost considerations of commercial remote sensing capabilities. Technological Capabilities to Improve Financial Management and Auditability The committee recognizes the Department of Defense's growing adoption of advanced software and artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities across various operational and administrative functions. The committee notes that the Department of the Navy, in particular, has demonstrated successful implementation of digital tools for shipbuilding, logistics, and program management. The committee believes these technological capabilities present a significant opportunity to improve the Department's financial management and auditability. Modern software platforms with AI-enabled analytics can process vast quantities of transactional data, identify anomalies, track assets in real-time, and provide continuous financial visibility. A real-time audit capability represents a fundamental improvement over current periodic audit methodologies. Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services not later than December 1, 2026, on plans to implement real-time audit capabilities using software and artificial intelligence. The briefing should include: (1) an assessment of current software and AI platforms already operational within the Department of Defense that could be expanded or adapted to provide continuous financial monitoring and audit capabilities across all military services and defense agencies; (2) a roadmap for implementing real-time audit capabilities that would enable continuous transaction validation, asset tracking, and financial reconciliation rather than relying solely on annual audit cycles; (3) an identification of integration requirements to connect disparate financial systems across the Department of Defense into unified platforms capable of providing enterprise-wide financial visibility; 478
(4) an evaluation of how real-time audit capabilities could support improved financial decision-making, fraud detection, waste reduction, and resource allocation; and (5) any policy, regulatory, or contractual barriers that may impede the deployment of commercial software platforms capable of delivering real-time audit functionality. TITLE XII—MATTERS RELATING TO FOREIGN NATIONS ITEMS OF SPECIAL INTEREST Baltic Integrated Air and Missile Defense The committee recognizes that strengthening integrated air and missile defense in the Baltic region is critical to reinforcing the North Atlantic Treaty Organization's (NATO) deterrence and defense posture and addressing persistent and evolving Russian air and missile threats along the Alliance’s eastern flank. The committee directs the Commander, U.S. European Command, to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services not later than March 1, 2027, assessing integrated air and missile defense (IAMD) in the Baltic region, including efforts undertaken to enhance Baltic IAMD in coordination with NATO allies and partners. The briefing shall include: (1) a description of the current and projected air and missile threats to the Baltic region, specifically those emanating from the Kaliningrad region and western Russia; (2) a summary of the equipment, services, and training provided to the Baltic states using section 333 and other title 10 authorities to enhance Baltic IAMD; (3) an evaluation of the requirements identified in NATO's regional plans and the Eastern Flank Deterrence Line as they relate to addressing current and projected air and missile threats to the Baltic region, including surveillance capabilities, interceptor capacity, command and control systems, and integration with NATO allies; (4) an identification of any capability gaps associated with the aforementioned requirements; (5) a summary of NATO's updated standing defense plan for integrated air and missile defense across the Alliance and an assessment of how such plan addresses current and projected air and missile threats to the Baltic region; and (6) a description of opportunities for cooperative acquisition programs and training among NATO allies to address current and projected air and missile threats to the Alliance, including efforts that promote standardization and interoperability. Baltic Training Ranges 479
The committee recognizes the importance of ensuring that U.S. and North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) forces train in the environments and conditions along the Alliance’s eastern flank to strengthen allied capability, deterrence, and defense against the Russian Federation. The committee further notes that training ranges in the Baltic States already provide unique capabilities for realistic operational training, while recognizing that enhancements to capacity and capability would further improve readiness and interoperability across the Alliance. The committee directs the Commander, U.S. European Command, to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services not later than March 1, 2027, on the feasibility and requirements for expanding training ranges and live- fire opportunities in Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania. The briefing should include: (1) an assessment of the suitability of training ranges in the Baltic States to support brigade-level maneuver; (2) an evaluation of U.S. and allied ability to conduct combined arms live- fire exercises on training ranges in the Baltic States; (3) an analysis of the feasibility of employing long-range fires on training ranges in the Baltic States; (4) an evaluation of the ability to test unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) and counter-UAS technologies on training ranges in the Baltic States; (5) an assessment of the infrastructure to support realistic contested electromagnetic spectrum operations on training ranges in the Baltic States; (6) an assessment of supporting infrastructure on training ranges in the Baltic States, including barracks, maintenance facilities, ammunition and fuel storage, and rail and road access; (7) a summary of any host-nation restrictions that impede NATO exercises on training ranges in the Baltic States; (8) an assessment of the prioritization of NATO allies for access to training ranges in the Baltic States; and (9) a plan to coordinate with NATO allies to implement any necessary improvements to training ranges in the Baltic States to improve multilateral exercises, readiness, and interoperability across the Alliance. Counterterrorism Posture and Requirements in West Africa The committee remains concerned by the rapidly deteriorating security environment in West Africa and the Sahel, driven by the continued expansion and increased operational tempo of violent extremist organizations, including Jama’at Nusrat al-Islam wal-Muslimin (JNIM), regional affiliates of the Islamic State, Boko Haram, and other aligned militant groups. The committee is aware of persistent intelligence and operational coverage gaps across large portions of the Sahel, including areas where terrorist organizations are actively expanding territorial control and operational reach. 480
The committee notes that effective counterterrorism operations in West Africa depend on timely, persistent, and multi-domain intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) capabilities, as well as sufficient force posture, access, and operational enablers. The committee is concerned by reductions in airborne ISR coverage despite increased threat activity and growing demand for ISR across the United States Africa Command area of responsibility. Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense, in coordination with the Commander, United States Africa Command, to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services by February 15, 2027, on U.S. counterterrorism requirements in West Africa. The briefing should include: (1) an assessment of current and projected threats posed by violent extremist organizations operating in West Africa and the Sahel, including the extent of territorial control, attack trends, and intelligence and operational coverage gaps that limit situational awareness and early warning; (2) identification of shortfalls in airborne and space-based ISR, including contracted and organic platforms, as well as associated processing, exploitation, and dissemination capabilities required to support timely counterterrorism operations and crisis response; and (3) an assessment of U.S. force posture, access, basing, mobility, and force protection in West Africa, including operational reach, response timelines, sustainment requirements, and risk to U.S. forces under current and projected ISR availability. Permanent Stationing of United States Armored Brigade Combat Teams in Poland The committee stresses that the rotational presence of two U.S. Army Armored Brigade Combat Teams (ABCTs) in the Republic of Poland provides a critical contribution to the deterrence and defense posture of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), and notes with great concern the recent decision by the Department to temporarily delay one of the rotational ABCT deployments. The committee further notes that the permanent stationing of such forces would enhance deterrence and reduce the long-term costs associated with persistent rotational deployments, particularly considering host nation support and infrastructure investments provided by the Government of Poland. The committee therefore directs the Commander, U.S. European Command, to submit a report to the congressional defense committees not later than October 1, 2026, that includes the following information: (1) an independent risk assessment of the Department’s decision to temporarily delay the rotational presence of one of the two rotational ABCTs in Poland; (2) an assessment of whether the permanent stationing of one or two U.S. ABCTs in Poland would enhance deterrence against the Russian Federation; 481
(3) identification and assessment of the logistics requirements, including force enablers, equipment, supplies, storage, maintenance, and sustainment necessary to support the permanent stationing of one or two ABCTs in Poland; (4) identification and assessment of infrastructure investments, including new construction or upgrades to existing facilities, required to support the permanent stationing of one or two ABCTs in Poland; (5) an assessment of the willingness and ability of Poland to provide host nation support, including Polish-provided infrastructure or operations, maintenance, and sustainment tasks, to support the permanent stationing of one or two ABCTs in Poland; (6) an assessment of the comparative costs of permanently stationing of one or two ABCTs in Poland relative to continued rotational deployments, including consideration of anticipated or likely host nation contributions; (7) an assessment of the effects of the permanent stationing of one or two ABCTs in Poland on servicemember and family quality of life as compared to continued rotational deployments; (8) an estimate of the timeline required to achieve the permanent stationing of one or two ABCTs in Poland if such a policy decision were taken; and (9) an assessment of whether episodic deployments of United States Army Multi-Domain Task Force long-range fires to Poland would enhance deterrence against the Russian Federation. Recent Force Posture Adjustments within the United States European Command The committee notes that the Department of Defense directed a realignment of the United States military footprint within the United States European Command area of responsibility on May 1, 2026, and that the realignment directed the redeployment of approximately 5,000 U.S. military personnel from the European theater, specifically forces stationed in or previously slated to deploy to the Federal Republic of Germany. The committee also notes that the Department canceled the rotational deployment of the 2nd Armored Brigade Combat Team, 1st Cavalry Division, to Poland. The committee underscores that, pursuant to section 1249 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2026 (Public Law 119-60), the Commander, United States European Command, and the Secretary of Defense are required to submit to the congressional defense committees a certification and assessment 60 days prior to implementing certain adjustments to force posture within the United States European Command area of responsibility. The committee directs the Commander, United States European Command to submit a report to the congressional defense committees not later than September 1, 2026, on whether the realignment directed on May 1, 2026, will result in any of the adjustments to force posture within the United States European Command area of responsibility that trigger the certification and assessment 482
requirements in section 1249 of Public Law 119-60. The report should include the following: (1) whether such realignment will result in the reduction of the total number of American servicemembers within the United States European Command area of responsibility below 76,000; (2) whether such realignment will result in divesting, consolidating, or otherwise returning to a host country any parcel of land or facility located on real property under the jurisdiction of United States European Command as of June 1, 2025; and (3) whether such realignment will result in divesting, redeploying, withdrawing, or otherwise permanently moving out of the area of responsibility of United States European Command any Department of Defense equipment or physical property with an initial purchase value of more than $500,000 and positioned in such area of responsibility as of June 1, 2025. Security Partnership with the Kingdom of Jordan The committee reaffirms the importance of the longstanding strategic partnership between the United States and the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan and recognizes Jordan as a critical security partner in promoting regional stability and advancing shared defense objectives. The committee notes with appreciation Jordan’s regional leadership in countering terrorism, narcotics, and the Iranian threat network, as well as its steadfast willingness to host U.S. forces and coalition operations. The committee commends the Department on its work to bolster this partnership and notes that security cooperation, joint exercises, and combined operations have increased Jordan’s capacity and that Jordan remains a highly capable partner interoperable with U.S. forces. The committee affirms that expansion of this partnership is in the mutual national security interest of both Jordan and the United States. Therefore, the committee directs the Under Secretary of Defense for Policy, in coordination with the Director of the Defense Security Cooperation Agency and the Director for Joint Force Development, to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services not later than December 1, 2026, on opportunities to expand defense cooperation, including on: (1) integrated air and missile defense to improve early warning, detection, command and control integration, and interoperability with United States and partner and allied systems; (2) border security to enhance surveillance and detection systems, command and control integration, and strengthen Jordan’s ability to secure its borders against evolving threats; (3) cybersecurity to increase the resilience of Jordan’s critical defense networks and capabilities; 483
(4) unmanned aerial systems production and operational use, including capabilities to counter adversary unmanned systems; and (5) any other matters the Under Secretary deems relevant. TITLE XV—CYBERSPACE-RELATED MATTERS ITEMS OF SPECIAL INTEREST Workflow Automation and Synchronization for Operational Planning The committee supports the evaluation and integration of workflow automation and synchronization capabilities designed to improve operational staff workflows supporting planning, wargaming, and deployment coordination. The committee believes such capabilities may improve the speed and effectiveness of these activities by reducing manual and sequential staff processes and enabling more timely collaboration. However, the committee understands that challenges may remain regarding integration with existing operational planning systems, interoperability across commands, and the rapid deployment of commercial capabilities into operational environments. Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense to provide a report to the congressional defense committees not later than March 1, 2027, on: (1) lessons learned from operational exercises or pilot efforts involving commercially available automation, synchronization, and planning capabilities; (2) challenges associated with integrating such capabilities into existing operational planning processes, command-and-control systems, and collaborative staff workflows; (3) barriers to the rapid procurement, deployment, and iterative improvement of commercially available capabilities for operational use; and (4) recommendations to accelerate the operational adoption and integration of such capabilities across the Department of Defense. TITLE XVI—SPACE ACTIVITIES, STRATEGIC PROGRAMS, AND INTELLIGENCE MATTERS ITEMS OF SPECIAL INTEREST SPACE A CTIVITIES Cislunar Capabilities The committee notes that activity in cislunar space is increasing, as countries expand their in-space presence and capabilities beyond geosynchronous orbit. The committee recognizes that assured positioning, navigation, and timing 484
capabilities in the cislunar regime are important to United States defense, civil, and commercial activities. Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of the Air Force, in coordination with the Commander of the Air Force Research Laboratory, to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services by March 1, 2027, on proposals to expand space situational awareness, command and control, and positioning, navigation, and timing capabilities within the Air Force Research Laboratory Oracle-P program. The briefing should include the following: (1) a description of the current Oracle-P program objectives, capabilities, and planned experimentation activities relevant to cislunar operations; (2) an assessment of how non-traditional acquisition approaches could be used to enable additional space vehicles and expanded experimentation, including planned acquisition pathways and decision points; (3) a description of potential additions in space vehicles, payload capabilities, and supporting ground and mission operations infrastructure, including planned timelines; (4) an assessment of estimated costs, planned funding sources, and any anticipated impacts to other Air Force Research Laboratory space programs; and (5) identification of technical, schedule, and programmatic risks, and associated risk mitigation strategies. Commercial Imagery Limits The committee notes the increased capability and capacity of commercial imagery providers to support national security requirements for both the intelligence community and Department of Defense, and is supportive of efforts of the Department to utilize commercial capability to augment responding to warfighter requirements. The committee further notes that recent conflicts have highlighted the need to establish a transparent process to ensure the dissemination of imagery is done in such a manner that takes into account national security. Therefore, not later than December 1, 2026, the Director of National Intelligence, in coordination with the Secretary of Defense, shall submit to the House Committee on Armed Services and the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence a report detailing a process and timeline to uniformly ensure U.S. commercial remote sensing providers, that have active contracts with the United States Government, operate in such a manner as to preserve the operational security of military personnel, civilians, and installations of the United States and partner nations. Commercial Space The committee notes that despite the highest overall budget request for the U.S. Space Force since its establishment, the Commercial Services request was half of the fiscal year 2026 request. Commercial Augmentation Space Reserve (CASR), initiated by this committee in the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal 485
Year 2025 (Public Law 118-159), the Tactical Surveillance, Reconnaissance, and Tracking pilot program, and several other lines of effort of high congressional interest are all funded out of this budget line item. The committee would like to highlight the Department of Defense and the U.S. Space Force have, in two separate strategy documents, stated the desire to better incorporate commercial- built space solutions to enhance national security. The committee is concerned that, despite these strategies and congressional direction, the service is not making the investments needed in these areas to make them a reality for the warfighter. Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of the Air Force to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services not later than February 1, 2027, on the overall strategy for procuring commercial space products. The briefing shall also include: (1) a plan to sustain and scale current Tactical Surveillance, Reconnaissance, and Tracking capabilities without disruption to combatant command support; (2) how the Tactical Surveillance, Reconnaissance, and Tracking pilot is in alignment with the United States Space Force Commercial Space Strategy, integration into joint all-domain command and control architectures, continued use of competitive commercial capabilities, and compliance with applicable intelligence oversight requirements; (3) the current operational status of the Joint Commercial Operations Cell for each mission area; (4) a detailed description of how the Joint Commercial Operations Cell is currently resourced, including funding sources, budgetary mechanisms, and staffing level; (5) plans to integrate CASR into additional mission areas; and (6) a funding and resource plan for all commercial services for the next 5 years that details the on-ramp opportunities for new vendors and phenomenologies as they mature, such as Synthetic Aperture Radar, Positioning, Navigation, and Timing, hyperspectral, and many others. Continuity of Operations Capability for Space Force Ground Infrastructure The committee recognizes that survivable and geographically distributed ground infrastructure is essential to delivering holistic resilience to future Space Force architectures that will support cross-service capabilities, such as Golden Dome. The committee believes that geographically distributed continuity of operations sites can directly contribute to the ground segment of the Advanced Fire Control Ground Infrastructure system and other proliferated constellations as they are delivered, including commercial based space domain awareness and custody missions to facilitate and augment Space Force operations. These sites will provide resilient and continuous ground operations and mission management capabilities necessary to ensure operational continuity for custody, targeting, and fire control 486
integration under degraded or contested conditions in support of global combatant commanders' missions. Accordingly, the committee directs the Secretary of the Air Force, in coordination with the Assistant Secretary of the Air Force for Space Acquisition and Integration, to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services not later than March 1, 2027, on the Department’s plan to establish a geographically distributed continuity of operations architecture for ground infrastructure and systems. The briefing shall include: (1) the operational requirements necessary to maintain assured 24-hour per day, 7-day per week mission capability for commercial based space domain awareness and custody missions to facilitate and augment the Proliferated Warfighter Space Architecture and other operations; (2) the Department’s plan to incorporate mission management, command and control, custody, and targeting functions across geographically distributed operating locations; (3) an assessment of existing government-owned infrastructure, facilities, and operational nodes capable of supporting continuity of operations requirements; (4) an assessment of commercially available architecture that could provide additional augmentation for the missions required; (5) estimated resourcing requirements, acquisition strategy, and planned funding across the Future Years Defense Program; and (6) key milestones required to achieve initial and full operational capability, including an assessment of whether operational capability can be achieved by September 30, 2027. High Cadence Launch The committee notes that assured, responsive, and resilient access to space is in the national security interest of the United States. The committee further notes that the missions of the Space Force are growing, and the fiscal year 2027 budget request includes a significant increase to deliver capability on orbit in the next 2-to-10-year timeframe. To that end, the committee encourages the Space Force to continue investing in capability and capacity to enable high-cadence launch to ensure satellites can be placed into orbit as they are delivered in a cost-effective and flexible manner. The committee also encourages the use of nontraditional acquisition mechanisms, including other transaction authority under section 4021 of title 10, United States Code, to accelerate development and reduce barriers to participation by nontraditional defense contractors. Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of the Air Force to submit a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services on a High Cadence Launch Plan not later than March 1, 2027, that includes: (1) the projected launch cadence required to support national security space missions through 2035, including deployment, sustainment, and reconstitution scenarios; 487
(2) an assessment of existing and projected commercial and government launch capacity; (3) identification of non-traditional contractors that could contribute to high cadence launch activities; (4) estimated costs associated with achieving sustained high cadence launch capability; and (5) a description of contract vehicles and acquisition authorities that will be used to expand high cadence launch capacity. Narrowband Ultra High Frequency Satellite Communications The committee notes that narrowband Ultra High Frequency (UHF) satellite communications support worldwide, multi-service mobile and fixed-site terminal users with beyond line-of-sight satellite communications (SATCOM). The committee acknowledges that the current Mobile User Objective System (MUOS) provides performance and capacity in support of critical Combatant Command SATCOM priorities, and specifically to disadvantaged users. Due to the requirement to service distributed and disadvantaged users with UHF, the committee agrees that backwards compatibility for existing terminals drives the Space Force to pursue the MUOS service life extension program in the Fiscal Year 2027 budget request. In parallel, the committee is supportive of Space Force efforts to disaggregate the requirements of the existing MUOS system and determine how commercially available solutions with cutting edge technology can address UHF users globally as it contemplates a future, multi-orbit UHF architecture. Therefore, the committee directs the Assistant Secretary of the Air Force for Space Acquisition and Integration to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services not later than March 1, 2027 on how it plans to pursue new and innovate solutions for future narrowband communications needs. The briefing should include: (1) plans to disaggregate the requirements currently met by the MUOS system; (2) ability of commercial market to meet joint force secure, beyond line of sight, voice, and data services to include industrial base capacity; (3) a description of requirements for disadvantage users that cannot be met with commercial capabilities, including all-weather, dense urban and triple canopy applications; (4) identification of any early technology investments required to maintain service for legacy users; and, (5) estimated cost and schedule for the first phases of implementation of a new narrowband architecture. Space Access, Mobility, and Logistics 488
The committee notes the continued U.S. Space Command requirement for sustained space maneuver. The committee also notes that while the U.S. Space Force has established a program office for Space Access, Mobility, and Logistics (SAML), it has not been adequately resourced to transition from initial demonstrations to providing scalable capabilities for the warfighter. The committee believes that investment in this mission area would improve the mission assurance, resilience, and operational flexibility of existing and planned space architectures and would lower the overall cost of national security space programs over their planned lifetime. Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of the Air Force to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services on capabilities for SAML of unprepared satellites by May 1, 2027. The briefing should include the following: (1) cost, schedule, and performance milestones for a sustained on-orbit SAML capability for unprepared satellites achieving initial operating capability by fiscal year 2028; (2) an assessment of the risks and benefits associated with the development of a sustained on-orbit SAML capability; and (3) an integration plan for such capabilities to support future national security space architectures. Space Data Network The committee recognizes the importance of resilient and high-throughput, commercially derived space data networks that provide robust global capability to enable multi-domain operations and emerging space systems and sensors. The committee directs the Secretary of Defense to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services not later than March 1, 2027, on the strategic importance of establishing a global high-throughput, resilient Space Data Network. The briefing should include: (1) an assessment of current gaps in global space-based data transport capabilities and their implications for national security operations, including command and control, intelligence dissemination, and real-time warfighter support; (2) recommendations for leveraging existing government-owned, commercially derived satellite constellations that can achieve global operational capability on orbit by fiscal year 2028, ensuring alignment with timelines for delivery of on-orbit, terrestrial, airborne, and sea-based capabilities that will be operational or under test in that timeframe; (3) cost estimates, funding requirements, and a phased implementation plan to deploy the global network by fiscal year 2028; and (4) how the acquisition strategy will ensure opportunities for competition in the Space Data Network as new capability and capacity is delivered by industry. O THER M ATTERS Hypersonic Program Progression 489
The committee recognizes the imperative of maintaining United States leadership in advanced weapons capabilities and notes the substantial investments made by Congress to support innovation across the hypersonics industrial base. These investments reflect congressional intent to accelerate the maturation of this critical capability, expand and stabilize the industrial base, and ensure the Department of Defense can transition promising innovations into operational capabilities at scale. The committee emphasizes that hypersonic systems represent a priority area where congressional support has been directed toward enabling rapid development, robust testing, and a resilient domestic supply chain capable of meeting long-term national security requirements. However, the committee notes that the Department of Defense has not yet completed transition of hypersonic weapon technologies from science and technology, prototyping and middle-tier acquisition efforts into major acquisition capabilities. Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services not later than March 1, 2027, on the Department’s plan to transition hypersonic weapon technologies from science and technology, prototyping and middle-tier acquisition efforts into major acquisition capabilities. The briefing shall include, at a minimum: (1) the Department’s overarching strategy for hypersonic weapons development, fielding, and sustainment, including how current Service-specific and joint hypersonic efforts align with that strategy; (2) the anticipated acquisition pathway and timeline for transitioning existing hypersonic technologies, prototypes, or experiments into major acquisition capabilities; (3) the roles and responsibilities of the Military Departments, the Office of the Secretary of Defense, and any applicable defense agencies in managing and executing hypersonics programs; (4) projected funding requirements across the Future Years Defense Program, including research, development, test, and evaluation; procurement; and operations and sustainment; (5) the Department’s approach to mitigating technical, manufacturing, and supply chain risks, including those related to propulsion systems, energetics, materials, test infrastructure, and workforce capacity; (6) how the Department intends to ensure interoperability, commonality, and affordability across hypersonic systems where practicable; (7) how the Department intends to ensure that fielded hypersonic systems will be able to adapt to advancing adversary air defenses and other threats; and (8) any areas the Secretary deems necessary to include. Proliferated Ground-Based Surveillance Radar The committee is interested in the applicability of deploying proliferated Ground-Based Surveillance Radars to address critical gaps in domain awareness to 490
support homeland defense. Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services not later than March 1, 2027, describing benefits and feasibility of proliferating Ground- Based Surveillance Radars to contribute to domain awareness for defense of the homeland. The briefing should include: (1) a description of how Ground-Based Surveillance radars could contribute to domain awareness to support future; and (2) anticipated funding and schedule profile to deploy a scalable architecture of Ground-Based Surveillance Radars. Solid Rocket Motor Second Source The committee remains committed to working with the Department of Defense to broaden the Defense Industrial Base, specifically with regards to solid rocket motors. To that end, the committee encourages the Secretary of Defense to obligate and expend funding that has been appropriated by Congress for this explicit effort. The committee also remains concerned with the use of equity investments into one of the existing SRM providers, and its impact on efforts of new entrants to develop, qualify, and expand the current production capacities across multiple munitions. In addition to obligating and expending the already appropriated funding, the committee notes there should be a whole of Department effort to establish a strategy and implementation plan for the qualification and fielding of second-source solid rocket motor providers to meet growing demand, increase production resilience, and mitigate supply-chain risk. In carrying out this effort, the Department should leverage existing authorities, including Defense Production Act authorities, multi-year procurement contracts, and other acquisition tools, to accelerate qualification timelines and reduce barriers to entry for additional providers. Further, the committee notes the continuing importance of hydroxyl- terminated polybutadiene (HTPB) to munitions and space launch systems. HTPB acts as a binding agent in solid rocket motors and is thus critical to the sustainment of the munitions industrial base. Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense to submit a report to the congressional defense committees not later than December 1, 2026, on future plans for the procurement of HTPB, including: (1) HTPB demand projections for the next 12-24 months, incorporating data available from the Munitions Acceleration Council; (2) an assessment of the current domestic production capabilities for HTPB, including announced private investments into HTPB production; (3) any end user requests for an updated specification for HTPB; and (4) an assessment of the business case for the establishment of a second source of HTPB using government funds and any technical risks that would need to be managed. 491
TITLE XVIII—REVITALIZATION OF THE DEFENSE INDUSTRIAL BASE ITEMS OF SPECIAL INTEREST An Enduring Acquisition Policy Experimentation Laboratory to Model, Simulate, and Analyze the Impact of Acquisition and Industrial Base Policies The committee notes that over the past decade, a series of policy test labs have been developed through engagement with diverse stakeholder groups, modeling and analyzing complex trade-offs in medical care infrastructure, transportation, higher education, and the defense budget to inform and improve decisions. Policy test labs can model, simulate, and analyze proposed acquisition and sustainment policies in a multi-domain environment to include consideration of financial implications, market reactions, supply chain availability, technological capabilities, and effects on national security. The committee believes these policy test labs would be a valuable tool to model the defense industrial base and experiment with policy proposals to evaluate what incentivizes contractors of the Department of Defense to maintain and invest in surge capabilities and capacities, as well as what policies influence a resilient, responsive defense industrial base. Therefore, the committee directs the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment, leveraging the Acquisition Innovation Research Center (AIRC) established under section 4142 of title 10, United States Code, to develop an initial but enduring Acquisition Policy Experimentation Laboratory (APEL) not later than January 15, 2027. The initial APEL efforts should seek to model, simulate, and analyze proposed acquisition policy options to: (1) create the right industrial structure; (2) incentivize contractors of the Department to maintain and invest in increasing the capability and capacity of the industrial base; and (3) remove barriers to entry, reduce burden on contractors, and increase defense industrial base capability and capacity. Furthermore, the committee directs the Under Secretary, leveraging the AIRC, to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services by December 1, 2026, on the progress in developing the APEL, to include: (1) designation of a research team; (2) initial policies or policy proposals to model; (3) timelines for the iterative development and enhancement of the APEL to evaluate proposed acquisition policies in a timely manner; and (4) estimated annual funding requirements to support the APEL. Comptroller General Review of Certain Contracts and Awards to Small Business Concerns 492
The committee is concerned by Department of Defense reporting that contracts awarded by the Department to non-small businesses accounted for more than a quarter of Department spending below the simplified acquisition threshold. Therefore, the committee directs the Comptroller General of the United States to conduct a review of Department contracts awarded with a value at or below the simplified acquisition threshold (as defined in section 3015 of title 10, United States Code) to determine if the Department is ensuring full consideration and application of requirements relating to small business concerns (as defined in section 3 of the Small Business Act (15 U.S.C. 632)). The review should include: (1) the total dollar amount of contracts awarded with a value at or below the simplified acquisition threshold during the 5-year period preceding the date of the report, including the percentage of such contracts and the aggregate dollar amount of such contracts awarded to small business concerns; (2) an overview of the types of contracts with a value at or below the simplified acquisition threshold, and a description of the products or services, that were not awarded to small business concerns; and (3) an overview of the reasons why a contract with a value at or below the simplified acquisition threshold may not be set aside for small business concerns. The committee further directs the Comptroller General to submit a report to the Senate Committee on Armed Services and the House Committee on Armed Services not later than April 1, 2027, on the following: (1) any trends, themes, or patterns of contracts with a value at or below the simplified acquisition threshold that were awarded to entities that are not small business concerns when such contracts should have been subject to a requirement to be set aside for small business concerns; and (2) any recommendations for changes to statute, regulation, policy, or guidance that would ensure full consideration and application of requirements to set aside contracts for small business concerns, particularly contracts with a value at or below the simplified acquisition threshold. Defense Industrial Base AI-Enabled Risk Response and Manufacturing Readiness The committee remains concerned that persistent manufacturing supply chain disruptions, single-point failures, and foreign vulnerabilities and dependencies continue to pose unacceptable risks to the national security of the United States. The committee notes that section 1841 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2026 (Public Law 119-60) requires the Secretary of Defense to develop recommendations for the establishment and operation of a Civil Reserve Manufacturing Network, including the creation of a National Manufacturing Registry to inventory the manufacturing capabilities of the United States, and the development of a Materiel Compatibility Index to identify where existing equipment, capabilities, and skill sets of commercial manufacturing could be converted to support requirements of the Department of Defense. 493
The committee believes that the use of available digital and artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities can aid the Department in implementing the requirements of section 1841. Therefore, the committee directs the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment, in coordination with the Chief Digital and Artificial Intelligence Officer, to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services not later than March 1, 2027, on the Department’s efforts establish and execute an AI-enabled manufacturing risk response capability. The briefing should include the following: (1) an update on progress made in identifying, prioritizing, and responding to manufacturing supply chain vulnerabilities, including improving discoverability of small and mid-sized domestic manufacturers; (2) an update on progress made in the assessment of critical readiness items of supply that could be produced by advanced manufacturing required by section 1842(a) of Public Law 119-60; (3) an assessment of commercially available digital marketplace platforms that improve discoverability of and access to U.S.-manufactured products; and (4) an assessment of existing AI-enabled platforms capable of assisting the Department's manufacturing risk response capability by mapping domestic manufacturing capacity, interpreting technical data packages and part schematics, and matching identified capability and capacity with Department needs. Domestic Network-Enabled Systems and Supply Chain Risk Assessment The committee recognizes that Department of Defense retail systems, including Nonappropriated Fund Instrumentalities such as the Army and Air Force Exchange Service, Navy Exchange Service Command, and Marine Corps Exchange, sell network-enabled consumer technology products to servicemembers and their families on U.S. military installations worldwide. The committee is concerned that certain consumer electronics products manufactured by entities headquartered in or subject to the jurisdiction, direction, or control of foreign adversaries may present cybersecurity, data exfiltration, supply chain, or counterintelligence risks, particularly when sold in proximity to U.S. military personnel and installations. Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense, in coordination with the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment and the Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence and Security, to submit a report to the congressional defense committees not later than May 1, 2027, on such risks. The report should include: (1) an identification of network-enabled consumer technology products sold through retail systems operated by the Department of Defense that are manufactured by entities headquartered in countries of concern; (2) an assessment of cybersecurity and data security risks associated with such products; 494
(3) an evaluation of the applicability of existing federal restrictions, including the Commerce Entity List, the Department's Chinese Military Companies list, and the Federal Communications Commission's Covered Equipment list; and (4) recommendations on whether statutory prohibition or mitigation measures are necessary to protect servicemembers and installation security. Expanding the Defense Industrial Base through Balanced Compliance The committee remains concerned that compliance burdens are a significant barrier to entry for potential defense contractors, particularly small- and medium-sized businesses. Companies are increasingly forced to choose between investing in innovation and maintaining compliance, contributing to attrition from the defense industrial base and reduced resilience across defense supply chains. At the same time, the committee emphasizes that the expansion of the defense industrial base must not come at the expense of security, accountability, or oversight. The committee further notes that many compliance frameworks rely on episodic audits and point-in-time certifications that do not provide continuous insight into contractor readiness or supply chain risk. The committee encourages the Department to evaluate the use of qualified and trusted third-party commercial solutions to support continuous assessment and monitoring of contractor compliance, improve portfolio-level visibility into supply chain health, and enable more efficient attainment and maintenance of cybersecurity, workforce security, and cloud accreditation requirements. Accordingly, the committee directs the Principal Director, Defense Pricing, Contracting, and Acquisition Policy, to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services not later than December 1, 2026, on the Department’s approach to expanding and sustaining the defense industrial base while maintaining strong compliance and accountability standards. The briefing should include: (1) an assessment of how current compliance regimes impact innovation, sustainment, and the long-term viability of small- and medium-sized businesses, including an evaluation of the extent to which companies exit the defense ecosystem due to compliance requirements, security requirements, or other administrative burdens unique to participation in the defense industrial base; (2) a description of steps the Department is taking to encourage and sustain affordable compliance across prime contractors, subcontractors, and lower-tier suppliers; and (3) options for improving visibility into contractor and supply chain readiness without creating duplicative administrative burdens. Foreign-Made Small Arms and Light Weapons The committee directs the Secretary of Defense to submit a report to the congressional defense committees not later than March 15, 2027, on small arms and 495
light weapons that are used by members of the Armed Forces in performance of official duties. The report should include: (1) the prevalence of Government-issued small arms and light weapons that are used by members of the Armed Forces in performance of official duties, and parts for such small arms and light weapons that were manufactured outside of the United States; (2) the prevalence of Government-issued small arms and light weapons that are used by members of the Armed Forces in performance of official duties, and parts for such small arms and light weapons that were manufactured in the United States by a subsidiary of a foreign-owned entity; and (3) any recommendations the Secretary has to change policies related to domestic sourcing preferences for the procurement of Government-issued small arms and light weapons. Industrial Workforce for Composite Materials Manufacturing The committee recognizes the importance of the Department of Defense’s ongoing efforts to expand production capacity for precision-guided munitions and stresses that sustaining these efforts will require a sufficient pipeline of skilled industrial workers. The committee notes that advanced composite materials are a critical component of many precision-guided munition systems and is concerned that current workforce pipelines may not be producing enough technicians with the specialized skills required for modern composite fabrication. The committee further notes that the Department has undertaken workforce development efforts through existing authorities, including within the Industrial Base Analysis and Sustainment program, to strengthen critical manufacturing skills. The committee underscores that the joint explanatory material accompanying the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2025 (Committee Print No. 2) encouraged the Department to assess the advisability and feasibility of establishing advanced technology centers at community colleges to support training in critical skills, including advanced composite material layup. Accordingly, the committee directs the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Industrial Base Policy to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services not later than December 31, 2027, on the Department’s efforts to address workforce shortages in advanced composite materials manufacturing relevant to precision-guided munition production. The briefing shall include the following: (1) an assessment of current workforce gaps in advanced composite materials manufacturing relevant to precision-guided munition production; (2) a description of existing Department of Defense programs, partnerships, and authorities being used to address such gaps; (3) an assessment of the effectiveness of those efforts to date; and (4) any additional actions the Department considers necessary to strengthen the pipeline of qualified technicians needed to support production requirements. 496
Leveraging Regional STEM Ecosystems The committee recognizes that U.S. national security depends on a robust, clearable STEM workforce. Yet attracting and retaining qualified talent remains a challenge for both the Department of Defense and the defense industrial base. The committee is aware that regional STEM ecosystems exist across the United States and bring together education, industry, government, and community partners to develop talent pipelines aligned with regional workforce needs. The committee believes these ecosystems may provide a scalable model to support coordinated workforce development efforts aligned with defense industrial base requirements. Accordingly, the committee directs the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services not later than December 31, 2027, on a strategic approach to leveraging regional STEM ecosystems to support defense workforce needs. The briefing shall include: (1) an identification of regional STEM ecosystems that could be leveraged to support the Department of Defense and defense industrial base workforce requirements; (2) an assessment of how such regional STEM ecosystems could be leveraged to support the Department of Defense and defense industrial base workforce requirements; and (3) recommendations for a pilot effort to leverage and scale regional STEM ecosystems, including potential implementation approaches and resource considerations. Practical Application of Authorities Related to Certain Critical Minerals The committee commends investments by the Department of Defense in the mining and processing of critical minerals in order to diversify sourcing and shore up the availability of critical minerals for the defense industrial base. To help mitigate the impact of China’s current ban and restrictions on exports of critical minerals, the committee believes the Secretary of Defense must take additional steps to secure available heavy rare earth elements, particularly samarium. Through recent amendments to section 4872 of title 10, United States Code, Congress provided the Secretary the flexibility to grant waivers to certain statutory sourcing restrictions when necessary for the national security interest of the United States or to exercise an exception when satisfactory quality and quantity of a covered material are not available. With respect to samarium, the committee believes current circumstances and availability of the material from an allied nation justify either a waiver or that an exception be exercised to acquire samarium. Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services, not later than December 1, 2026, on the status of a national security waiver or the non-availability determination related to samarium. 497
Supply Chain Visibility for Industrial Surge Readiness The committee notes that Congress established the Manufacturing Technology Program (ManTech) in 1965 to advance American manufacturing technology. Revised and eventually codified in section 4841 of title 10, United States Code, ManTech's purpose today is "to further the national security objectives through the development and application of advanced manufacturing technologies and processes that will reduce the acquisition and supportability costs of defense weapon systems and reduce manufacturing and repair cycle times across the life cycles of such systems." The committee also notes that the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2026 (Public Law 119-60) included several provisions to further efforts to improve and expand manufacturing capabilities across all aspects of the defense industrial base (DIB), including section 1833, which requires the establishment of a Civil Reserve Manufacturing Network; section 1844, which requires the establishment of a collaborative forum to address challenges to and limitations of the DIB; section 1846, which makes improvements to several existing sections of public law related to advanced manufacturing; and section 1847, which requires analysis related to surge capacity in the DIB. The committee views the ManTech program as having an essential role in all these efforts. Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services not later than March 1, 2027, on ManTech program activities supporting the implementation of the sections of Public Law 119-60 related to supply chain visibility for industrial surge readiness. DIVISION C—DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY NATIONAL SECURITY AUTHORIZATIONS AND OTHER AUTHORIZATIONS TITLE XXXI—DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY NATIONAL SECURITY PROGRAMS ITEMS OF SPECIAL INTEREST National Nuclear Security Administration Operational Area at Rick Husband International Airport The committee notes that the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) and the City of Amarillo have had a successful partnership for the use of Rick Husband Amarillo International Airport (AMA) since 1967. The committee understands that changes in NNSA’s security posture and operational tempo continue to evolve and appreciates NNSA’s ongoing engagement with local officials to consider options to keep pace with these changes and further enhance the strong partnership between the Amarillo community and the Pantex Plant. 498
Therefore, the committee directs the Administrator for Nuclear Security to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services not later than November 1, 2026, on options to improve security and operational flexibility of NNSA activities at AMA, including the potential relocation of NNSA operations within the AMA boundary. The briefing shall also include an assessment of whether additional authorities, if any, are necessary in connection with the options under consideration, as well as a discussion of any interagency coordination or approval that may be required. 499
