was not included in the overall determination of fea-
sibility; and 
(2) did not include funding for the continued 
development of the discrimination radar for home-

mand.

SEC. 1648. RISK REDUCTION IN PROCUREMENT OF GUAM 
MISSILE DEFENSE SYSTEM. 
(a) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of Con-
gress that— 
(1) the defense of Guam and the Armed Forces 
that operate there is of key strategic significance 
and is one of the top priorities for United States 
Indo-Pacific Command and the United States; 
(2) the most severe adversary threat to Guam 
consists of long-range hypersonic and cruise missiles 
launched from a variety of air, land, and sea-based 
platforms; 
(3) the current plan of the Missile Defense 
Agency using a mixed architecture which, when ap-
plied to the launcher systems, relies on numerous 
road-mobile transport erector launchers for launch-
ing, and is an unproven and high-risk plan; and

(4) the existing vertical launch system, which 
can accommodate the standard missile–3 and the 
standard missile–6, is a more capable and tested 
system and provides reasonable risk reduction to the 
short-term missile defense of Guam, and in the long 
term provides much needed capacity increase. 
(b) AUTHORITY
FOR PROCUREMENT.—Except as 
provided by subsection (c), not later than December 31, 
2023, the Secretary of Defense, acting through the Direc-
tor of the Missile Defense Agency, shall rapidly procure

defense committees a notification of such waiver, in-
cluding a justification; and

SEC. 1649. PLAN ON DELIVERING SHARED EARLY WARNING 
SYSTEM DATA TO CERTAIN ALLIES AND 
PARTNERS OF THE UNITED STATES. 
(a) FINDINGS.—Congress finds the following: 
(1) The Shared Early Warning System cur-
rently provides accurate and timely ballistic missile 
warning information generated by space-based infra-
red sensors to the United States and select foreign 
countries. 
(2) As has been demonstrated in Russia’s un-
lawful invasion of and war in Ukraine, missile warn-
ing data provided to allies and partners of the 
United States could allow for critical warning to pre-
vent widespread civilian casualties. 
(3) The rapid technical fielding of Shared Early 
Warning System capabilities should be prioritized in 
future bilateral defense negotiations with allies and 
partners of the United States. 
(b) PLAN.—The Secretary of Defense, with the con-
currence of the Secretary of State and the Director of Na-
tional Intelligence, shall develop a technical fielding plan 
to deliver information under the Shared Early Warning 
System regarding a current or imminent missile threat to 
allies and partners of the United States that, as of the 
date of the plan, do not receive such information.
