Congress finds that the budget submitted by the President under section 1105(a) of title 31, United States Code, for fiscal year 2021 does not fully fund an operational capability for the hypersonic and ballistic missile tracking space sensor within the tracking layer of the persistent space-based sensor architecture of the Space Development Agency, despite such space sensor being a requirement by the combatant commanders and being highlighted as a needed capability against both hypersonic and ballistic threats in the Missile Defense Review published in 2019.
It is the sense of Congress that the Missile Defense Agency hypersonic and ballistic missile tracking space sensor must be prioritized within the persistent space-based sensor architecture of the Space Development Agency to ensure the delivery of capabilities to the warfighter as soon as possible. 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 1653, is further amended by adding at the end the following new paragraph: On an annual basis until the date on which the hypersonic and ballistic tracking space sensor payload achieves full operational capability, the Secretary of Defense, without delegation, shall submit to the appropriate congressional committees a certification that— the most recent future-years defense program submitted under section 221 of title 10, United States Code, includes estimated expenditures and proposed appropriations in amounts necessary to ensure the development and deployment of such space sensor payload as a component of the sensor architecture developed under subsection (a); and the Commander of the United States Space Command has validated both the ballistic and hypersonic tracking requirements of, and the timeline to deploy, such space sensor payload. .
