It is the sense of Congress that— engaging the science and engineering communities, along with industry, through the development of a National Academies of Science, Engineering, and Medicine decadal survey in aeronautics research and development can provide a science and engineering community consensus on key research and development priorities in national civil aeronautics programs; a decadal survey— entails a comprehensive review of and strategy and priorities for civil national aeronautics research and development; and prioritizes such research and development for the next decade; and a decadal survey for civil aeronautics research and development can serve as a guiding framework for NASA’s and other relevant Federal agencies’ strategic planning and resource allocation in the field of civil aeronautics research and development for the coming decade.
Congress finds that— in title 51, United States Code, sections addressing NASA’s decadal surveys for aeronautics research include sections 20305 and 40703; and the most recent National Academies’ Decadal Survey of Civil Aeronautics was published in 2006. In accordance with section 20305 of title 51, United States Code, the Administrator, in consultation with the heads of other relevant Federal Government agencies, as appropriate, shall enter into an arrangement with the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine to conduct a decadal survey of civil aeronautics research for the 2026 through 2036 decade.
The survey shall recommend research and programmatic priorities to sustain United States leadership in civil aeronautics research and development and support a safe and sustainable future for aviation. The survey may also include recommendations for the following: Enabling innovation. Ensuring a world-class workforce for aeronautics research and development and related United States commercial industries and activities. The dissemination and transition of such research and development to the United States commercial aviation and aircraft industries.
Not later than two years after the date of the enactment of this Act, the Administrator shall submit to the appropriate committees of Congress the results of such survey, including any recommendations.
