sider innovative contracting and acquisition strate-
gies

and reduce risk during this downturn in defense pro-
curement.

requires legislative action to enter into such a 
multiyear, multivehicle contract.

SEC. 240. SENSE OF CONGRESS AND REPORT ON NATO AND 
MISSILE DEFENSE BURDEN-SHARING. 
(a) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of Congress 
that as defense budget resources continue to decline in the 
United States, including by reason of funding reductions 
under the Budget Control Act of 2011 (Public Law 112– 
25), and the sequestration in effect by reason of such Act, 
the importance of burden-sharing among members of the
106 
North Atlantic Treaty Organization for missile defense is 
increasing. 
(b) REPORT REQUIRED.—Not later than 180 days 
after the date of the enactment of this Act, the Secretary 
of Defense shall submit to the congressional defense commit-
tees a report on the cost of missile defense for members of 
the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (in this section re-
ferred to as ‘‘NATO’’), including the phased, adaptive ap-
proach to missile defense in Europe, and the contributions 
made by members of NATO for such missile defense. 
(c) MATTERS INCLUDED.—The report under subsection 
(b) shall include the following: 
(1) The total estimated cost directly attributable 
to the various phases of the phased, adaptive ap-
proach to missile defense in Europe, including costs

NATO, including the phased, adaptive approach to 
missile defense in Europe, a description of the level 
of burden-sharing among members of NATO as of the 
date of the report, including through contributions 
made by a member in the form of hosting elements of 
such approach to missile defense in the territory of 
the member.
107 
(3) An assessment of, and recommendations for, 
areas where the Secretary determines that NATO and 
the members of NATO could improve the burden-shar-
ing among members with respect to the cost of missile 
defense for NATO described in paragraph (2), includ-
ing through the possible pooling of missile defense 
interceptors. 
(d) FORM.—The report required by subsection (b) shall 
be submitted in unclassified form, but may include a classi-

(1) the United States develops and deploys re-
gional ballistic missile defense capabilities to protect 
the forward-deployed forces, allies, and partners of the 
United States against regional ballistic missile 
threats, consistent with the security obligations of the 
United States and as part of the broader theater secu-
rity and military plans of the geographic combatant 
commanders of the United States; 
(2) in deciding on the deployment of regional 
missile defense assets and capabilities of the United 
States, the Secretary of Defense should give priority
108 
consideration to the capabilities needed to deter and 
defend against the ballistic missile threat, including 
the recommendations of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and 
the priorities of the geographic combatant com-
manders for meeting the operational needs of the com-
manders for ballistic missile defense; 
(3) such deployment decisions should take into 
account all of the ballistic missile threats to the forces, 
allies, and partners of the United States in each re-
gion; 
(4) the United States should encourage the allies 
and partners of the United States to acquire and con-
tribute to integrated and complementary regional bal-
listic missile defense capabilities—including coordi-
nation, data sharing, and networking arrange-
ments—and such allied and partner capabilities 
should be taken into account in deciding on the de-
ployment of regional missile defense capabilities of the 
United States; and 
(5) the United States should cooperate closely 
with the allies and partners of the United States, in-
cluding such allies and partners in East Asia, on 
missile defense deployments and cooperation that en-
hance the mutual security of the United States and 
such allies and partners.
109 
SEC. 242. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON PROCUREMENT OF CA-
PABILITY 
ENHANCEMENT 
II 
EXOATMOSPHERIC KILL VEHICLE. 
It is the sense of Congress that the Secretary of Defense 
should not procure a Capability Enhancement II 
exoatmospheric kill vehicle for deployment until after the 
date on which a successful intercept flight test of the Capa-
bility Enhancement II ground-based interceptor has oc-
curred, unless such procurement is for test assets or to 
maintain a warm line for the industrial base.
