## SEC. 1648 REPORT ON AND LIMITATION ON AVAILABILITY OF FUNDS FOR LAYERED HOMELAND MISSILE DEFENSE SYSTEM ###
(a)Report ####
(1)Requirement Not later than March 1, 2021, the Secretary of Defense shall submit to the congressional defense committees a report on the proposal for a layered homeland missile defense architecture included in the budget justification materials submitted to Congress in support of the budget for the Department of Defense for fiscal year 2021 (as submitted with the budget of the President for such fiscal year under section 1105(a) of title 31, United States Code). ####
(2)Elements required The report under paragraph
(1)shall include the following: #####
(A)A description of the requirements for the proposed layered homeland missile defense architecture that are— ######
(i)based on an assessment by the intelligence community of threats to be addressed at the time of deployment of such a system; and ######
(ii)validated by the Joint Requirements Oversight Council. #####
(B)An assessment of how such requirements addressed by the proposed layered homeland missile defense architecture relate to those addressed by the existing ground-based midcourse defense system, including deployed ground-based interceptors and planned upgrades to such ground-based interceptors. #####
(C)An analysis of weapon system and interceptor solutions to meet such requirements, including the Aegis ballistic missile defense system, the standard missile-3 block IIA, and the terminal high altitude area defense system, with the number of locations required for deployment and the production numbers of such weapon systems and interceptors. #####
(D)A description of any improvements needed to the missile defense system command and control, battle management, and communications system to support the proposed layered homeland missile defense architecture. #####
(E)A description of the sensors required, with respect to both sensors organic to the weapon systems and the sensors needed for tracking and discrimination provided through the command and control, battle management, and communications system, for the proposed layered homeland missile defense architecture, including how the cancellation, or indefinite postponement, of the discrimination radar for homeland defense planned to be located in Hawaii will impact the ability of such architecture to defend against current and future missile threats to Hawaii, with respect to both the capacity and capability of such architecture. #####
(F)An assessment of the impact to the flights IIA and III fielding and posture plans of the Navy for Arleigh Burke class destroyers if at-sea standard missile-3 block IIA missiles are required for the proposed layered homeland missile defense architecture. #####
(G)A site-specific fielding plan that includes possible locations, the number and type of interceptors and radars in each location, and any associated environmental or permitting considerations, including an assessment of the locations evaluated pursuant to section 227(b) of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2013 (Public Law 112-239; 126 Stat. 1679) for inclusion in the proposed layered homeland missile defense architecture. #####
(H)Relevant policy considerations for deployment of such architecture for defense against intercontinental ballistic missiles in the continental United States. #####
(I)A life-cycle cost estimate and detailed development, testing, production, and deployment schedule for options involving a land-based standard missile-3 block IIA interceptor system and the terminal high altitude area defense system, including required environmental assessments. #####
(J)A feasibility assessment of the necessary modifications to the terminal high altitude area defense system to address such requirements. #####
(K)An assessment of the industrial base capacity to support additional production of either a land-based standard missile-3 block IIA interceptor system or the terminal high altitude area defense system. #####
(L)An assessment of the manning, training, and sustainment needed to operationally support the proposed layered homeland missile defense architecture. ####
(3)Consultation In preparing the report required under paragraph (1), the Secretary shall consult with each of the following: #####
(A)The Under Secretary of Defense for Policy. #####
(B)The Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment. #####
(C)The Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, as the Chair of the Joint Requirements Oversight Council. #####
(D)The Commander of the United States Strategic Command. #####
(E)The Commander of the United States Northern Command. #####
(F)The Director of the Missile Defense Agency. #####
(G)The Director of Cost Assessment and Program Evaluation. ###
(b)Limitation on Use of Funds Of the amounts authorized to be appropriated by this Act or otherwise made available for fiscal year 2021 for the Missile Defense Agency for a layered homeland missile defense system, not more than 50 percent may be obligated or expended until the Director of the Missile Defense Agency submits to the congressional defense committees the report under subsection (a). ###
(c)Assessment Not later than February 28, 2021, the Director of the Defense Intelligence Agency, and the head of any other element of the intelligence community that the Secretary of Defense determines appropriate, shall submit to the congressional defense committees an assessment of the following: ####
(1)How the development and deployment of regional terminal high altitude area defense systems and Aegis ballistic missile defense systems to conduct longer-range missile defense missions would be perceived by near-peer foreign countries and rogue nations. ####
(2)How such near-peer foreign countries and rogue nations would likely respond to such deployments. ###
(d)Intelligence Community Defined In this section, the term “intelligence community” has the meaning given such term in section 3 of the National Security Act of 1947 (50 U.S.C. 3003).
