Army would report on efforts to build and maintain advanced drone systems and low-cost missile defenses

This bill would require the Secretary of the Army to send a detailed report to Congress by April 15, 2027. The report would explain how the Army is making, testing, and keeping up with advanced drone systems and low-cost interceptors. It would also cover efforts to strengthen domestic supply chains for drone parts.

What Would Change

Today, no specific law requires the Army Secretary to report on its work with advanced drones and low-cost interceptors by a set date. If this bill passes, the Army Secretary would have to send such a report to Congress's defense committees by April 15, 2027. This report would cover details about production, supply chains, and testing.
