gressional defense committees a report containing the re-
view under subsection (a). 
SEC. 1623. REVIEW OF SAFETY, SECURITY, AND RELIABILITY 
OF NUCLEAR WEAPONS AND RELATED SYS-
TEMS. 
(a) FINDINGS.—Congress finds the following: 
(1) On December 20, 1990, Secretary of Defense 
Cheney chartered a five-person independent committee 
known as the Federal Advisory Committee on Nuclear 
Failsafe and Risk Reduction to assess the capability 
of the nuclear weapon command and control system 
to meet the dual requirements of assurance against 
unauthorized use of nuclear weapons and assurance of 
timely, reliable execution when authorized, and to 
identify opportunities for positive measures to en-
hance failsafe features. 
(2) The Federal Advisory Committee, chaired by 
Ambassador Jeane J. Kirkpatrick, recommended 
changes in the nuclear enterprise, as well as policy 
proposals to reduce the risks posed by unauthorized 
launches and miscalculation. 
(3) The Federal Advisory Committee found, un-
ambiguously, that ‘‘failsafe and oversight enhance-
ments are possible’’.

(4) Since 1990, new threats to the nuclear enter-
prise have arisen in the cyber, space, and information 
warfare domains. 
(5) Ensuring the continued assurance of the nu-
clear command, control, and communications infra-
structure is essential to the national security of the 
United States. 
(b) REVIEW.—The Secretary of Defense shall provide 
for the conduct of an independent review of the safety, secu-
rity, and reliability of covered nuclear systems. The Sec-
retary shall ensure that such review is conducted in a man-
ner similar to the review conducted by the Federal Advisory 
Committee on Nuclear Failsafe and Risk Reduction. 
(c) MATTERS INCLUDED.—The review conducted pur-
suant to subsection (b) shall include the following: 
(1) Plans for modernizing the covered nuclear 
systems, including options and recommendations for 
technical, procedural, and policy measures that could 
strengthen safeguards, improve the security and reli-
ability of digital technologies, and prevent cyber-re-
lated and other risks that could lead to the unauthor-
ized or inadvertent use of nuclear weapons as the re-
sult of an accident, misinterpretation, miscalculation, 
terrorism, unexpected technological breakthrough, or 
deliberate act.

(2) Options and recommendations for nuclear 
risk reduction measures, focusing on confidence build-
ing and predictability, that the United States could 
carry out alone or with near-peer adversaries to 
strengthen safeguards against the unauthorized or in-
advertent use of a nuclear weapon and to reduce nu-
clear risks.

date of the enactment of this Act, the Secretary shall submit 
to the congressional defense committees the review conducted 
pursuant to subsection (b).

the date of the enactment of this Act, the Secretary shall 
submit to the congressional defense committees the final re-
port of the Federal Advisory Committee on Nuclear Failsafe 
and Risk Reduction. 
(f) COVERED NUCLEAR SYSTEMS DEFINED.—In this 
section, the term ‘‘covered nuclear systems’’ means the fol-
lowing systems of the United States: 
(1) The nuclear weapons systems. 
(2) The nuclear command, control, and commu-
nications system.

sessment system.

SEC. 1624. REVIEW OF ENGINEERING AND MANUFACTURING 
DEVELOPMENT 
CONTRACT 
FOR 
GROUND- 
BASED STRATEGIC DETERRENT PROGRAM. 
(a) FINDINGS.—Congress finds the following: 
(1) In September 2020, the Air Force awarded 
the engineering and manufacturing development con-
tract for the ground-based strategic deterrent pro-
gram. 
(2) The total development cost of the ground- 
based strategic deterrent program is expected to be 
approximately $100,000,000,000. 
(3) The Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of 
Staff recently noted that ‘‘we have got to make [the 
ground-based strategic deterrent program] more af-
fordable. A three-stage, solid rocket ICBM should not 
cost as much as the forecast says it costs for now. 
After meeting with the program office at Northrop 
Grumman multiple times I think that program can 
come in significantly cheaper. It’s designed correctly. 
It’s a digital engineering process that should be able 
to build things quickly and much more effectively.’’. 
(4) The Air Force has placed significant impor-
tance on digital engineering in achieving cost and 
schedule requirements with respect to the ground- 
based strategic deterrent program.

SEC. 1630. COST ESTIMATE TO RE-ALERT LONG-RANGE 
BOMBERS. 
(a) FINDINGS.—Congress finds the following: 
(1) On April 20th, 2021, before the Committee 
on Armed Services of the Senate, the Commander of 
the United States Strategic Command, Admiral 
Charles A. Richard, said that the basic design criteria 
in the triad is that ‘‘you cannot allow a failure of 
any one leg of the triad to prevent you from being 
able to do everything the President has ordered you 
to do.’’. 
(2) Admiral Richard further stated that in the 
event of one leg atrophying, ‘‘You are completely de-
pendent on the submarine leg, and I’ve already told 
the Secretary of Defense that under those conditions 
I would request to re-alert the bombers.’’. 
(b) COST ESTIMATE.—The Secretary of the Air Force 
shall develop a cost estimate with respect to re-alerting long- 
range bombers in the absence of a ground-based leg of the 
nuclear triad.

nuclear capabilities of Russia and China; 
(2) the role of nuclear forces in United States 
military strategy, planning, and programming;

SEC. 1641. DIRECTED ENERGY PROGRAMS FOR BALLISTIC 
AND HYPERSONIC MISSILE DEFENSE. 
(a) FINDINGS.—Congress finds the following: 
(1) In the fiscal year 2021 budget request of the 
Department of Defense, the Secretary of Defense re-
moved all funding from the Missile Defense Agency to 
conduct research, engineering, or development for di-
rected energy technologies that could be applicable for 
ballistic and hypersonic missile defense, and this re-

moval of funding continued in the fiscal year 2022 
budget request of the Department, despite Congress 
appropriating funding for fiscal year 2021 for these 
efforts. 
(2) In January 2020, an independent Senior 
Executive Review Team noted that ‘‘If successfully de-
veloped, the unique features of diode pumped alkali 
laser, an efficient electrically powered, relatively short 
wavelength gas laser with the potential to deliver 
megawatt power with near diffraction limited beam 
quality from a single aperture would provide the De-
partment of Defense and the Missile Defense Agency 
with an important strategic technology with the po-
tential for an attractive size, weight, and power. Such 
a system would have potential capability use cases 
across all services/agencies.’’. However, the Under Sec-
retary of Defense for Research and Engineering did 
not support continued investigation of this promising 
technology by the Missile Defense Agency. 
(3) In addition to diode pumped alkali lasers, 
there are other directed energy applications that have 
the potential to contribute to ballistic and hypersonic 
missile defense architecture, including microwave and 
short pulse lasers technologies.

SEC. 1654. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON INDEMNIFICATION AND 
THE 
CONVENTIONAL 
PROMPT 
GLOBAL 
STRIKE WEAPON SYSTEM. 
It is the sense of Congress that— 
(1) the conventional prompt global strike weapon 
system of the Navy, for which the Secretary of the 
Navy has declined to provide indemnification, will 
have more than twice the TNT equivalent of the bomb 
used in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing that 
resulted 
in 
many 
casualties 
and 
more 
than 
$3,300,000,000 in insurance claims in 2021 dollars— 
an amount that is $1,100,000,000 greater than the in-
surance limits currently available from private insur-
ance underwriters; 
(2) the term ‘‘unusually hazardous’’ used in Ex-
ecutive Order 10789, as amended, pursuant to public 
Law 85–804 (50 U.S.C. 1431 et seq.) should be objec-
tively and consistently applied to weapons systems 
and programs whose physical properties inherently 
possess 
substantial 
explosive 
energy 
whose 
misapplication or accidental ignition could result in 
catastrophic material destruction and human injuries 
and deaths;

(3) an inconsistent and arbitrary application of 
such Executive Order and law may create significant 
risk for the industrial base and loss of critical defense 
capabilities; and 
(4) the Secretary of the Navy should— 
(A) take maximum practicable advantage of 
existing statutory authority to provide indem-
nification for large rocket programs employing 
‘‘unusually hazardous’’ propulsion systems for 
both nuclear and non-nuclear strategic systems; 
and 
(B) develop a policy for more consistently 
applying such authority.
