A provision in the House’s annual defense authorization bill, released on Monday, would require the Defense Department to establish a critical munitions reserve while identifying a pilot program to keep better tabs on the subcontractors involved in their production.
The House advanced legislation on Thursday that would require the Defense Department to set up a pilot program that would transition entire nontactical vehicle fleets at certain installations to electric vehicles.
The $74 million request would support projects in support of the National Space Defense Center, an important command-and-control and space domain awareness capability.
