Congress finds the following: Subsection
(d)of section 1683 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018 ( Public Law 115–91 ; 10 U.S.C. 2431 note), as amended by section 1683 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2020 ( Public Law 116–92 ), requires the Director of the Missile Defense Agency to develop a hypersonic and ballistic tracking space sensor payload to address missile defense tracking requirements. The budget of the President for fiscal year 2021 submitted under section 1105 of title 31, United States Code, did not provide any funding for the Missile Defense Agency to continue the development of such sensor payload. It is the sense of Congress that— regardless of the overall architecture for a missile defense tracking space layer, the Director of the Missile Defense Agency should remain the material developer for the hypersonic and ballistic tracking space sensor payload to ensure that— unique hypersonic and ballistic missile tracking requirements are met; and the system can be integrated into the existing missile defense system command and control, battle management, and communications system; and the Secretary of Defense should ensure transparency of funding for this effort to ensure proper oversight can be conducted on this critical capability. Subsection

Subsection
(a)of such section is amended by striking the Commander of the Air Force Space Command and and inserting the Chief of Space Operations, the Commander of the United States Space Command, the Commander of the United States Northern Command, and .
