(1) MISSILE DEFENSE REVIEW .—Congress 1
finds that the 2022 Missile Defense Review found 2
the following: 3
(A) Since the release of the 2019 Missile 4
Defense Review, missile-related threats have 5
rapidly expanded in quantity, diversity, and so-6
phistication. 7
(B) United States national security inter-8
ests are increasingly at risk from wide-ranging 9
missile arsenals that include offensive ballistic, 10
cruise, and hypersonic weapons. 11
(C) In support of the homeland missile de-12
fense mission, continued modernization and ex-13
pansion of the Ground-based Midcourse De-14
fense (GMD) system will remain an essential 15
element of our comprehensive missile defeat ap-16
proach. In addition, the United States will also 17
continue to improve defensive capabilities to ad-18
dress the threat of evolving cruise missile 19
strikes by any adversary against the homeland. 20
(D) The continued evolution and progress 21
of missiles as a principal means by which adver-22
saries seek to project conventional or nuclear 23
military power makes missile defense a core de-24

terrence-by-denial component of an integrated 1
deterrence strategy. 2
(E) Missile defense capabilities add resil-3
ience and undermine adversary confidence in 4
missile use by introducing doubt and uncer-5
tainty into strike planning and execution, re-6
ducing the incentive to conduct small-scale coer-7
cive attacks, decreasing the probability of at-8
tack success, and raising the threshold of con-9
flict. 10

ONGRESSIONAL COMMISSION ON THE 11
STRATEGIC POSTURE OF THE UNITED STATES .— 12
Congress finds that, in its October 2023 report, the 13
Congressional Commission on the Strategic Posture 14
of the United States recommended the following: 15
(A) The United States should develop and 16
field homeland integrated air and missile de-17
fense (IAMD) that can deter and defeat coer-18
cive attacks by Russia and China, and deter-19
mine the capabilities needed to stay ahead of 20
the North Korean threat. 21
(B) The Secretary of Defense should direct 22
research, development, test and evaluation into 23
advanced integrated air and missile defense ca-24
pabilities leveraging all domains, including land, 25

sea, air, and space. These activities should 1
focus on sensor architectures, integrated com-2
mand and control, interceptors, cruise and 3
hypersonic missile defenses, and area or point 4
defenses. The Department of Defense should 5
urgently pursue deployment of any capabilities 6
that prove feasible. 7
(C) The Secretary and the military depart-8
ments should transfer operations and 9
sustainment responsibility for missile defense to 10
the appropriate military departments by Octo-11
ber 1, 2024, to allow the Missile Defense Agen-12
cy (MDA) to focus on research, development, 13
prototyping, and testing. 14

OMMISSION ON THE NATIONAL DEFENSE 15
STRATEGY.—Congress finds the following: 16
(A) In its July 2024 report, the Commis-17
sion on the National Defense Strategy found 18
the following: 19
(i) There is an increasing threat from 20
expanding ability of China, Russia, and 21
North Korea to deliver nuclear weapons 22
against the United States, including the 23
territories of the United States. 24

(ii) The military planners of the De-1
partment of Defense and United States 2
Northern Command need to prepare for a 3
worst-case scenario in which nuclear and 4
other strikes are launched against the 5
United States, which could be done in 6
large numbers with specialized delivery 7
systems. 8
(B) In the report described in subpara-9
graph (A), the Commission shared the same 10
threat assessment about missile attacks as the 11
Commission on the Strategic Posture of the 12
United States and agreed with the rec-13
ommendation that the United States should en-14
hance missile defense for the homeland. 15

OLICY.—Congress finds that it is the pol-16
icy of the Federal Government that— 17
(A) the Federal Government will provide 18
for the common defense of the citizens of the 19
United States and the United States by deploy-20
ing and maintaining a next-generation missile 21
defense shield; 22

the United States homeland; and 2
(C) the Federal Government will guarantee 3
the secure second-strike capability of the Fed-4
eral Government. 5
(b) S
ENSE OF THESENATE.—It is the sense of the 6
Senate that— 7
(1) the threat of attack by ballistic, cruise, and 8
hypersonic missiles remains a catastrophic threat 9
facing the United States and defense against it is a 10
form of both national security and border security; 11
(2) China is rapidly expanding and modernizing 12
its conventional forces to include ballistic missile sys-13
tems posing an increasing threat to citizens, forces, 14
and allies of the United States; 15
(3) over the past 40 years, rather than less-16
ening, the threat from next-generation strategic 17
weapons, including hypersonic, has become more 18
complex with the development of next-generation de-19
livery systems by adversaries of the United States; 20
(4) notwithstanding this increasing threat, 21
homeland missile defense policy of the United States 22
has been severely limited to staying ahead of rogue 23
nation threats and accidental or unauthorized mis-24
sile launches; 25

(5) by empowering the United States with a 1
second-strike capability, the Iron Dome will deter 2
adversaries from attacks on the homeland; 3
(6) the midcourse defense system is the primary 4
system capable of defending the United States 5
homeland from long-range ballistic missile threats 6
and is critical to our national security; 7
(7) the Next Generation Interceptor is a top 8
priority for the Missile Defense Agency and a critical 9
element to increasing system reliability to build 10
warfighter competence; and 11
(8) the United States must gain and maintain 12
total domain awareness to provide early warning and 13
defeat of missile threats from both the northern and 14
southern hemispheres and from outer space. 15
