Not later than 90 days after finalizing the responsive space strategy, principles, and model architecture under subsection (a), the Chief of Space Operations and the Commander of the United States Space Command shall provide to the congressional defense committees a briefing on such responsive space strategy, principles, and model architecture. Not later than 90 days after the receipt by the Chief of Space Operations of an implementation plan transmitted under to subsection (d)(1), the Chief shall provide to the congressional defense committees a briefing on such implementation plan. During each annual briefing provided by the Chief of Space Operations to the congressional defense committees on the budget occurring during the period beginning February 1, 2023, and ending January 1, 2031, the Chief shall provide updates on the implementation of the responsive space strategy, principles, and architecture under subsection (a).
