(c) ELEMENTS.—In carrying out the pilot program 
under subsection (a), the Secretary shall— 
(1) generate a standardized design of one or 
more military housing products compatible with ad-
ditive construction methods; 
(2) using such additive construction methods,

by the Secretary, to demonstrate the advantages 
and disadvantages of additive construction if 
adopted across all military installations; and 
(3) prescribe data collection requirements for the 
activities under paragraphs (1) and (2), including 
with respect to design and building schedule, cost in-
formation, and effect on quality of life, and collect

life-cycle costs of modular construction methods com-
pared to other construction methods for military con-
struction projects.
