It is the sense of Congress that— procurement of resilient waveform and datalink capabilities is crucial to fielding operationally relevant and interoperable architectures; and the Secretary of Defense should take such actions as are necessary to ensure that all covered communications and datalink waveforms purchased or authorized for use in, from, or to Space, effectively operate on at least two different hardware network architectures, including field programable gate arrays and central processing units.
Not later than 60 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, the Chief of Space Operations and the Assistant Secretary of the Air Force for Space Acquisition and Integration shall jointly provide to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives a briefing on a plan to resource and enable an architecture to connect, with operationally relevant interoperability, the following: Communication architectures of the Space Force, including the Space Development Agency Proliferated Warfighter Space Architecture and the United States Space Force Satellite Control Network.
Protected tactical enterprise services of the United States. Evolved strategic satellite communications. Narrowband satellite communications. Wideband satellite communications. Such other systems as the Chief and Assistant Secretary determine appropriate.
