Section 1605 of the Carl Levin and Howard P. Buck McKeon National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2015 ( Public Law 113–291 ; 10 U.S.C. 2208 note) is amended— by redesignating subsections
(c)and
(d)as subsections
(d)and (e), respectively; and by inserting after subsection
(b)the following new subsection: None of the funds authorized to be appropriated or otherwise made available to carry out the pilot program under subsection (a)(1) may be obligated or expended until the Secretary submits to the congressional defense committees a plan to demonstrate that the pilot program will achieve order-of-magnitude improvements in satellite communications capability, as required by subsection (b)(5). . It is the sense of Congress that it is disappointing that, despite numerous requests to the Air Force for its plan to meet the requirement of subsection (b)(5) of section 1605 of the Carl Levin and Howard P. Buck McKeon National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2015 ( Public Law 113–291 ; 10 U.S.C. 2208 note) in carrying out the pilot program under that section, the Air Force has not only failed to meet the statutorily imposed requirement to provide a briefing on that pilot program at the same time as the President submitted to Congress the budget for fiscal year 2017 pursuant to section 1105 of title 31, United States Code, but has also been nonresponsive to requests for information relating to that requirement.
