Congress makes the following findings: Section 2979b of title 10, United States Code, which was enacted as part of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2022 ( Public Law 117–81 ), establishes the Council on Oversight of the Department of Defense Positioning, Navigation, and Timing Enterprise to oversee all aspects of the positioning, navigation, and timing enterprise of the Department of Defense. The law requires the Council to be co-chaired by the Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the Under Secretary for Research and Engineering, and the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment, whose responsibilities are to coordinate on matters of positioning, navigation, and timing acquisitions to confirm that approved positioning, navigation, and timing policies are implemented in acquisition activities.
With respect to the implementation of military-code (in this section referred to as M-Code ) compliant Global Positioning Service (in this section referred to as GPS ) receivers through the Military GPS User Equipment program, the Comptroller General of the United States found that “Significant issues with data completeness and accuracy remain…. Poor data hinder the congressional defense committees’ ability to track the progress of M-code and support DOD decision-making. User equipment delays have also had ripple effects on DOD’s ability to plan for and develop M-code-capable receivers.
These delays have limited the military services’ ability to fully develop plans for operationally testing the M-code capability”. Not later than February 1, 2024, and quarterly thereafter until the date specified in paragraph (2), the Co-Chairs of the Council on Oversight of the Department of Defense Positioning, Navigation, and Timing Enterprise, shall provide to the congressional defense committees a briefing on the status of the implementation of M-Code compliant GPS receivers through the Military GPS User Equipment program, including the status of increments 1 and 2 of such program and details regarding expected dates of M-Code compliance for all sea-, air, and land-based terminals across the platforms of each of the Armed Forces.
No briefing shall be required under paragraph
(1)after the date on which the Secretary of Defense submits to the congressional defense committees certification that the increments 1 and 2 of the Military GPS User Equipment program have reached full operational capacity.
