Not later than 180 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics, in consultation with the Secretary of the Army, shall present to the congressional defense committees a briefing on the acquisition strategy for the Ground Mobility Vehicle for use with the Global Response Force. The briefing under subsection
(a)shall include an assessment of— whether the Ground Mobility Vehicle is a suitable candidate for solutions that would utilize militarized commercial off-the-shelf platforms leveraging existing global automotive supply chains to satisfy requirements and reduce the life-cycle cost of the program; whether the acquisition strategy meets the focus areas specified in the Better Buying Power initiative of the Secretary of Defense; and whether including an active safety system like electronic stability control in the Ground Mobility Vehicle, as such system is used on the Joint Light Tactical Vehicle, is expected to reduce the risk of vehicle rollover.
