(a)Certification on Directive of IAMD Responsibilities and Authorities Not later than 90 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Defense shall, in coordination with the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the Secretaries of the military departments, certify that Department of Defense Directive 5100.01 is current and accurate with respect to integrated air and missile defense
(IAMD)responsibilities and authorities in support of joint and combined land, sea, air, space and special forces operations, and in obtaining and maintaining air superiority or supremacy as required. ###
(b)IAMD Assessment by Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff ####
(1)In general The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff shall, in coordination with the Secretaries of the military departments and the Director of the Missile Defense Agency, conduct a comprehensive classified assessment of threats to, and capabilities and capacities of, current and planned integrated air and missile defense technologies and force structure to meet the requirements of the combatant commands in support of the National Defense Strategy. ####
(2)Elements The assessment required by paragraph
(1)shall include the following: #####
(A)Characterization and analysis of current and emerging threats, including the following: ######
(i)Cruise, hypersonic, and ballistic missiles. ######
(ii)Unmanned aerial systems. ######
(iii)Rockets and other indirect fire. ######
(iv)Specific and meaningfully varied examples within each of clauses
(i)through (iii). #####
(B)Analysis of current and planned integrated air and missile defense capabilities to counter the threats characterized and analyzed under subparagraph (A), including the following: ######
(i)Projected timelines for development, procurement, and fielding of needed capabilities to defend against current and anticipated threats, based on intelligence assessments of such threats. ######
(ii)Projected capability and capacity gaps in addressing the threats characterized and assessed under subparagraph (A), including a delineation of unfulfilled integrated air and missile defense requirements by combatant command. ######
(iii)Risk assessment of projected capability and capacity gaps addressing integrated air and missile defense requirements of the combatant commands and the National Defense Strategy. ######
(iv)Opportunities for acceleration or need for incorporation of interim capabilities to address current and projected gaps. ######
(v)Opportunities to leverage allied contributions for integrated air and missile defense capabilities and capacities to meet requirements of the combatant commands. #####
(C)Assessment of the integrated air and missile defense command, control, and intelligence systems and architecture, including the following: ######
(i)A description of the integrated air and missile defense architecture, and the component counter unmanned aerial system (C-UAS) sub-architecture of such architecture. ######
(ii)Identification of the critical command and control
(C2)systems. ######
(iii)Integration or interoperability of the command and control systems. ######
(iv)Integration, interoperability, or compatibility of the command and control systems with planned Joint All Domain Command and Control (JADC2) architecture. ####
(3)Characterization #####
(A)In general In carrying out the assessment required by paragraph (1), the Chairman shall clearly, on a technical and operational basis, distinguish between distinctly different threats in the same general class. #####
(B)Example The Chairman shall, for example, ensure that the assessment is not limited to a broad characterization, such as “cruise missiles”, since such characterization does not sufficiently distinguish between current cruise missiles and emerging hypersonic cruise missiles, which may require different capabilities to counter them. ####
(4)Interim briefing and report #####
(A)Interim briefing Not later than 60 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, the Chairman shall brief the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives on the assessment under paragraph (1). #####

(2)Elements Each briefing under paragraph
(1)shall include, for the military department covered by such briefing, the following: #####
(A)Analysis of current and planned integrated air and missile defense capabilities to counter the threats characterized and analyzed under subsection (b)(2)(A), including the following: ######
(i)Projected timelines and costs for development, procurement, and fielding of planned integrated air and missile defense capabilities. ######
(ii)Projected capability gaps and an assessment of associated risk. ######
(iii)Opportunities for acceleration or need for incorporation of interim capabilities to address current and projected gaps. #####
(B)Analysis of current and planned capacity to meet major contingency plan requirements and ongoing global operations of the combatant commands, including the following: ######
(i)Current and planned numbers of integrated air and missile defense systems and formations, including associated munitions. ######
(ii)Capacity gaps, and an assessment of associated risk, in addressing combatant command requirements. ######
(iii)Operations tempo stress on integrated air and missile defense formations and personnel. ######
(iv)Plans to sustain or to increase integrated air and missile defense personnel and formations. #####
(C)Assessment of proponency and the distribution of responsibility and authority for policy and program planning, budgeting, and execution within the military department for integrated air and missile defense and counter-unmanned aerial systems, including the following: ######
(i)A description of the current proponency structure. ######
(ii)An assessment of the adequacy of the current proponency structure to facilitate integrated air and missile defense and counter unmanned aerial systems functions for the Department of Defense. #####
(D)Assessment of the feasibility and advisability of establishing one or more centers of excellence for integrated air and missile defense, counter unmanned aerial systems, or both for purposes of planing, organizing, and managing the military department and joint force efforts to achieve a functional capability and capacity to meet the requirements of the combatant commands.
