It is the sense of Congress that— Hawaii should have discrimination radar coverage against intercontinental ballistic missiles that is equivalent to such coverage provided to the contiguous United States and Alaska once the long range discrimination radar achieves operational capability at Clear Air Force Base, Alaska; and to achieve such equivalent discrimination radar coverage, the Secretary of Defense, acting through the Director of the Missile Defense Agency, should— restore the discrimination radar for homeland defense planned to be located in Hawaii; and request adequate funding for the radar in the future-years defense program submitted to Congress under section 221 of title 10, United States Code, for the radar to achieve operational capability by not later than December 31, 2028, when the next generation interceptor is anticipated to achieve initial operating capability.
As a part of the defense budget materials (as defined in section 239 of title 10, United States Code) for fiscal year 2023, the Director of the Missile Defense Agency shall certify to the congressional defense committees that— the future-years defense program submitted to Congress under section 221 of title 10, United States Code, in 2022 includes adequate amounts of estimated funding to develop, construct, test, and integrate into the missile defense system the discrimination radar for homeland defense planned to be located in Hawaii; and such radar and associated in-flight interceptor communications system data terminal will be operational by not later than December 31, 2028.
