In developing a list under subsection (a), a Secretary of a military department shall consider matters relating to the following:
High connection density. Low latency. High capacity. Large geographic coverage. Enhanced and tailored security, including obscured data transport, within wireless network services. Base physical security and force protection requiring advanced processing of high-resolution distributed sensor feeds for perimeter monitoring, and detection and tracking of unmanned aerial systems (UAS), including through the potential use of a fifth generation information and communications network.
Efficient large-scale warehousing and logistics operations. The use of augmented or virtual reality technology for efficient maintenance and training. Large-scale and high-tempo flight line operations. The Secretary of the Air Force shall use the prioritized list the Secretary developed under subsection
(a)to inform task orders issued under the Enterprise Information Technology as a Service Base Infrastructure Modernization program. Task orders issued after the date of the enactment of this Act shall specify where Wi-Fi is fully adequate to meet requirements and where private fifth generation information and communications network performance is needed. In developing prioritized lists under subsection (a), each of the Secretaries of the military departments shall coordinate with the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering, the Chief Information Officer of the Department of Defense, and such combatant commanders and directors of defense agencies as the Secretaries each consider appropriate. Not later than March 1, 2026, the Secretary of Defense shall— consolidate the prioritized base lists developed by the Secretaries of the military departments under subsection (a), and determine an optimal investment, deployment, and spend plan for private fifth generation Open Radio Access Network
(ORAN)networks across the Department; and submit to the congressional defense committees a report on the lists consolidated under paragraph
