SEC. 2. FINDINGS; SENSE OF CONGRESS. 
(a) FINDINGS.— 
(1) 
MISSILE
DEFENSE
REVIEW.—Congress 
finds that the 2022 Missile Defense Review found 
the following: 
(A) Since the release of the 2019 Missile 
Defense Review, missile-related threats have 
rapidly expanded in quantity, diversity, and so-
phistication. 
(B) United States national security inter-
ests are increasingly at risk from wide-ranging 
missile arsenals that include offensive ballistic, 
cruise, and hypersonic weapons. 
(C) In support of the homeland missile de-
fense mission, continued modernization and ex-
pansion of all current deployed systems with ca-
pabilities guarding against the homeland threat, 
including the Ground-based Midcourse Defense 
(GMD) system, will remain essential to our 
comprehensive missile defeat approach. In addi-
tion, the United States will also continue to im-
prove defensive capabilities to address the 
threat of evolving hypersonic missile, cruise

missile, and unmanned system strikes by any 
adversary against the homeland. 
(D) The continued evolution and progress 
of missiles and unmanned systems as a prin-
cipal means by which adversaries seek to 
project conventional or nuclear military power 
makes missile and unmanned system defense a 
core deterrence-by-denial component of an inte-
grated deterrence strategy. 
(E) Missile and unmanned system defense 
capabilities add resilience and undermine adver-
sary confidence by introducing doubt and un-
certainty into strike planning and execution, re-
ducing the incentive to conduct small-scale coer-
cive attacks, decreasing the probability of at-
tack success, and raising the threshold of con-
flict. 
(F) Should deterrence fail, missile defense 
capabilities sufficient to negate long-range mis-
sile threats of any type are among the most 
critical national security capabilities for the 
United States.

COMMISSION

Congressional Commission on the Strategic Posture 
of the United States recommended the following: 
(A) The United States should develop and 
field homeland integrated air and missile de-
fense (IAMD) that can deter and defeat coer-
cive attacks by Russia and China, and deter-
mine the capabilities needed to stay ahead of 
the North Korean and Iranian threat. 
(B) The Secretary of Defense should direct 
research, development, test and evaluation into 
advanced integrated air and missile defense ca-
pabilities leveraging all domains, including land, 
sea, air, and space. These activities should 
focus on sensor architectures, integrated com-
mand and control, interceptors, cruise and 
hypersonic missile defenses, unmanned systems, 
and area or point defenses. The Department of 
Defense should urgently pursue deployment of 
any capabilities that prove feasible. 
(3) COMMISSION ON THE NATIONAL DEFENSE 
STRATEGY.—Congress finds the following: 
(A) In its July 2024 report, the Commis-
sion on the National Defense Strategy found

(i) There is an increasing threat from 
expanding ability of China, Russia, and 
North Korea to deliver nuclear weapons 
against the United States, including the 
territories of the United States. 
(ii) The military planners of the De-
partment of Defense and United States 
Northern Command need to prepare for a 
worst-case scenario in which nuclear and 
other strikes are launched against the 
United States, which could be done in 
large numbers with specialized delivery 
systems. 
(B) In the report described in subpara-
graph (A), the Commission shared the same 
threat assessment about missile attacks as the 
Commission on the Strategic Posture of the 
United States and agreed with the rec-
ommendation that the United States should en-
hance missile defense for the homeland. 
(4) POLICY.—Congress finds that it is the pol-
icy of the Federal Government that— 
(A) the Federal Government will provide 
for the common defense of the citizens of the 
United States and the United States by deploy-
