The Secretary of Defense, in coordination with the Chief Digital and Artificial Intelligence Officer, shall conduct a study to assess the feasibility and advisability of establishing a centralized platform for the development and testing of autonomy software. The study under subsection
(a)shall include, at a minimum, the following: An assessment of the status of efforts to resource and integrate autonomy software into systems of the Department of Defense, including systems in use by the Department as of the date of the study and systems that may be used in the future. Identification of systems of the Department of Defense which are, or can be, integrated with autonomy software to enable the continuous operational capability of such systems in GPS- or communications-denied environments, including those systems identified in the report required under section 246 of the William M.
(Mac)Thornberry National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2022 ( Public Law 116–283 ; 135 Stat. 1622). An assessment of any gaps in— program funding relating to the acquisition of autonomy software; acquisition processes, including the planning, programming, budgeting, and execution process for acquiring and integrating autonomy-enabling capabilities across relevant programs of record; training capabilities relating to autonomy software; capabilities for testing, evaluating, verifying, and validating autonomy software in all environments, including virtual and real-world environments; and efforts to test, resource, and scale commercially available autonomy software for use by the Department. A plan to address, to the extent practicable, the gaps assessed in paragraph (3), including— updated procedures to plan for the potential costs of autonomy software at the onset of the acquisition life cycle; plans to include, in greater detail, the projected costs of autonomy software for applicable programs of record in the future-years defense program submitted to Congress under section 221 of title 10, United States Code; and plans to standardize the acquisition of autonomy software for programs of record across the Armed Forces. Not later than one year after the date of the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Defense shall submit to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives a report on the results of the study conducted under subsection (a). In this section, the term Chief Digital and Artificial Intelligence Officer has the meaning given that term in section 846(b) of the James M. Inhofe National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2023 ( Public Law 117–263 ).
