(a)Requirements of Detection and Monitoring Systems The Secretary of Defense shall establish requirements for counter-drug detection and monitoring systems to be used by the Department of Defense in the performance of its mission under section 124(a) of title 10, United States Code, as lead agency of the Federal Government for the detection and monitoring of the transit of illegal drugs into the United States. Such requirements shall be designed— ####
(1)to minimize unnecessary redundancy between counter-drug detection and monitoring systems; ####
(2)to grant priority to assets and technologies of the Department of Defense that are already in existence or that would require little additional development to be available for use in the performance of such mission; ####
(3)to promote commonality and interoperability between counter-drug detection and monitoring systems in a cost-effective manner; and ####
(4)to maximize the potential of using counter-drug detection and monitoring systems for other defense missions whenever practicable. ###
(b)Evaluation of Systems The Secretary of Defense shall identify and evaluate existing and proposed counter-drug detection and monitoring systems in light of the requirements established under subsection (a). In carrying out such evaluation, the Secretary shall— ####
(1)assess the capabilities, strengths, and weaknesses of counter-drug detection and monitoring systems; and ####
(2)determine the optimal and most cost-effective combination of use of counter-drug detection and monitoring systems to carry out activities relating to the reconnaissance, detection, and monitoring of drug traffic. ###
(c)Systems Plan Based on the results of the evaluation under subsection (b), the Secretary of Defense shall prepare a plan for the development, acquisition, and use of improved counter-drug detection and monitoring systems by the Armed Forces. In developing the plan, the Secretary shall also make every effort to determine which counter-drug detection and monitoring systems should be eliminated from the counter-drug program based on the results of such evaluation. The plan shall include an estimate by the Secretary of the full cost to implement the plan, including the cost to develop, procure, operate, and maintain equipment used in counter-drug detection and monitoring activities performed under the plan and training and personnel costs associated with such activities. ###
(d)Report Not later than six months after the date of the enactment of this Act **[**Oct. 23, 1992**]**, the Secretary of Defense shall submit to Congress a report on the requirements established under subsection
(a)and the results of the evaluation conducted under subsection (b). The report shall include the plan prepared under subsection (c). ###
(e)Limitation on Obligation of Funds ####
(1)Except as provided in paragraph (2), none of the funds appropriated or otherwise made available for the Department of Defense for fiscal year 1993 pursuant to an authorization of appropriations in this Act may be obligated or expended for the procurement or upgrading of a counter-drug detection and monitoring system, for research and development with respect to such a system, or for the lease or rental of such a system until after the date on which the Secretary of Defense submits to Congress the report required under subsection (d). ####
(2)Paragraph
(1)shall not prohibit obligations or expenditures of funds for— #####
(A)any procurement, upgrading, research and development, or lease of a counter-drug detection and monitoring system that is necessary to carry out the evaluation required under subsection (b); or #####
(B)the operation and maintenance of counter-drug detection and monitoring systems used by the Department of Defense as of the date of the enactment of this Act. ###
(f)Definition For purposes of this section, the term “**counter-drug detection and monitoring systems**” means land-, air-, and sea-based detection and monitoring systems suitable for use by the Department of Defense in the performance of its mission— ####
(1)under section 124(a) of title 10, United States Code, as lead agency of the Federal Government for the detection and monitoring of the aerial and maritime transit of illegal drugs into the United States; and ####
(2)to provide support to law enforcement agencies in the detection, monitoring, and communication of the movement of traffic at, near, and outside the geographic boundaries of the United States.
