SEC. 1664. STUDY ON TESTING PROGRAM OF GROUND-BASED MID-
COURSE MISSILE DEFENSE SYSTEM. 
(a) STUDY.— Not later than 120 days after the date of the 
enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Defense shall enter into 
a contract with a federally funded research and development center 
to conduct a study on the testing program of the ground-based 
midcourse missile defense system. 
(b) ELEMENTS.—The study under subsection (a) shall include 
the following: 
(1) An assessment of whether the testing program described 
in subsection (a) has established, as of the date of the study, 
that the ground-based midcourse missile defense system has 
a high probability of performing reliably and effectively against 
limited missile threats from North Korea and Iran under real-
istic operational conditions, including an explanation of the 
degree of confidence supporting such assessment. 
(2) An assessment of whether the currently planned testing 
program, if implemented, is sufficient to establish reasonable 
confidence that the ground-based midcourse missile defense 
system has a high probability of performing reliably and effec-
tively under realistic operational conditions against current 
and plausible near- and medium-term limited ballistic missile 
threats from North Korea and Iran. 
(3) Any recommendations for improvements that could be 
made to the testing program to— 
(A) achieve reasonable confidence that the system 
would be reliable and effective under realistic operational 
conditions; or 
(B) improve test and cost efficiencies.

SEC. 1665. SENSE OF CONGRESS AND REPORT ON HOMELAND BAL-
LISTIC MISSILE DEFENSE. 
(a) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of Congress that— 
(1) it is a national priority to defend the United States 
homeland against the threat of limited ballistic missile attack 
(whether accidental, unauthorized, or deliberate); 
(2) although the currently deployed ground-based mid-
course defense system provides a level of protection of the 
entire United States homeland, including the East Coast, 
against the threat of limited ballistic missile attack from North
H. R. 3979—369 
Korea and Iran, this capability needs to be improved to meet 
evolving ballistic missile threats; 
(3) the initial step in this process of improvement is to 
correct the problems that caused the flight test failures with 
the current kill vehicles, and to improve the reliability of the 
deployed ground-based interceptor fleet; 
(4) as indicated by senior officials of the Department of 
Defense, continued investments to enhance homeland defense 
sensor and discrimination capabilities are essential to improve 
the operational effectiveness and shot doctrine of the ground- 
based midcourse defense system; 
(5) given limitations with the currently deployed exo- 
atmospheric kill vehicles, it is important to re-design the exo- 
atmospheric kill vehicle using a rigorous acquisition approach, 
including realistic testing, that can achieve a demonstrated 
capability as soon as practicable using sound acquisition prin-
ciples and practices; and 
(6) in order to stay ahead of evolving ballistic missile 
threats, the Department should design the next generation 
exo-atmospheric kill vehicle to take full advantage of improve-
ments in sensors, discrimination, kill assessment, battle 
management, and command and control, including the potential 
to engage multiple objects. 
(b) REPORT REQUIRED.— 
(1) IN GENERAL.—Not later than 180 days after the date 
of the enactment of this Act, the Director of the Missile Defense 
Agency, in coordination with the Commander of the United

and planned efforts to improve the homeland ballistic missile 
defense capability of the United States.

include the following: 
(A) A detailed description of the current assessment 
of the threat to the United Sates from limited ballistic 
missile attack (whether accidental, unauthorized, or delib-
erate), particularly from countries such as North Korea 
and Iran, and an assessment of the projected future threat 
through 2023, including a discussion of confidence levels 
and uncertainties in such threat assessment. 
(B) A detailed description of the status of efforts to 
correct the problems that caused the flight test failures 
of the capability enhancement-I and capability enhance-
ment-II exo-atmospheric kill vehicles.

field the additional 14 ground-based interceptors planned 
for deployment at Fort Greely, Alaska, including the status 
of the refurbishment of Missile Field 1 at Fort Greely, 
and the operational impact of the additional interceptors. 
(D) A detailed description of the plans and progress 
toward improving the capability, reliability, and availability 
of fielded ground-based interceptors, including progress 
toward improving the capabilities of ground-based intercep-
tors deployed with upgraded capability enhancement-I and 
capability enhancement-II exo-atmospheric kill vehicles.
H. R. 3979—370 
(E) A detailed description of the planned improvements 
to homeland ballistic missile defense sensor and discrimina-
tion capabilities, including through the use of additional 
sensor systems of the United States, and an assessment 
of the expected operational benefits of such improvements 
to homeland ballistic missile defense. 
(F) A detailed description of the plans and efforts to 
redesign, develop, test, and field the exo-atmospheric kill 
vehicle for the ground-based midcourse defense system, 
and an explanation of the expected improvements of such 
kill vehicle with respect to capability, cost effectiveness, 
reliability, maintainability, and producibility. 
(G) A detailed description of the plans for developing, 
testing, and fielding the next generation exo-atmospheric 
kill vehicle, and an explanation of how the anticipated 
capabilities are intended to remain ahead of evolving bal-
listic missile threats. 
(H) A status of efforts on, and goals for, a common 
kill vehicle with multiple object kill capability, and an 
explanation of how such capability could keep the missile 
defense capability of the United States paced ahead of 
evolving ballistic missile threats. 
(I) A detailed description of the options to improve 
the homeland ballistic missile defense capability that would 
respond to the emergence of a long-range ballistic missile 
threat from Iran, including an evaluation of the potential 
benefits and drawbacks of— 
(i) the deployment of a missile defense interceptor 
site on the East Coast; 
(ii) the deployment of a missile defense interceptor 
site in another location in the United States other 
than on the East Coast; 
(iii) the deployment of a missile defense interceptor 
site in a location other than in the United States; 
and 
(iv) the deployment of additional ground-based 
interceptors for the ground-based midcourse defense 
system at Fort Greely, Alaska, or Vandenberg Air Force

(2) given this growing threat, it is a high priority for 
the United States to develop, test, and deploy effective regional 
missile defense capabilities to provide the commanders of the 
geographic combatant commands with capabilities to meet the 
operational requirements of the commanders, and for allies
H. R. 3979—371 
and partners of the United States to improve their regional 
missile defense capabilities; 
(3) the United States and its North Atlantic Treaty 
Organization partners should continue the development, 
testing, and implementation of phases 2 and 3 of the European 
Phased Adaptive Approach to defend forward deployed forces 
of the United States, allies, and partners in the North Atlantic 
Treaty Organization in Europe against the growing regional 
missile capability of Iran; 
(4) the United States should continue efforts to improve 
regional missile defense capabilities in the Middle East, 
including its close cooperation with Israel and its efforts with 
countries of the Gulf Cooperation Council, in order to improve 
regional security against the growing regional missile capabili-
ties of Iran; and 
(5) the United States should continue to work closely with 
its allies in Asia, particularly Japan, South Korea, and Aus-
tralia, to improve regional missile defense capabilities, particu-
larly against the growing threat from North Korean ballistic 
missiles.
