It is the sense of the Senate that— the 2019 Missile Defense Review articulates a comprehensive approach to preventing and defeating the rapidly expanding offensive missile threat through a combination of deterrence, active and passive missile defense, and attack operations; to counter the expanding offense missile capabilities of potential adversaries and hedge against unanticipated missile threats, the Secretary of Defense should aggressively pursue new missile defense capabilities and examine concepts and technologies for advanced missile defense systems; the Secretary should fully implement the 2019 Missile Defense Review’s focus on increasing investments in and deploying new technologies and concepts; and the Secretary should work to ensure that all missile defense systems are more survivable, including through— more distributed air and missile defense operations; and improved camouflage, concealment, and deception, including emission control.
