of the ,marine ,corps1 including associated funding and schedule profiles4 ,c ,navy ,programs #aba4 ,increase in number of operational aircraft carriers of the ,navy 7a7 ,findings ,congress finds the following3 7#a7 ,the aircraft carrier can fulfill the ,navy's core missions of forward presence1 sea control1 ensuring safe sea lanes1 and power projection as well as providing flexibility and versatility to execute a wide range of additional missions4 7#b7 ,forward airpower is integral to the security and joint forces operations of the ,united ,states4 ,carriers play a central role in delivering forward airpower from sovereign territory of the ,united ,states in both permissive and nonpermissive environments4 7#c7 ,aircraft carriers provide our ,nation the ability to rapidly and decisively respond to national threats1 as well as conducting worldwide1 on-station diplomacy and providing deterrence against threats to the ,united ,states allies1 partners1 and friends4 7#d7 ,since the end of the cold war1 aircraft carrier deployments have increased while the aircraft carrier force structure has declined4 7#e7 ,considering the increased array of complex threats across the globe1 the ,navy aircraft carrier is operating at maximum capacity1 increasing deployment lengths and decreasing maintenance periods in order to meet operational requirements4 7#f7 ,to meet global peacetime and wartime requirements1 the ,navy has indicated a requirement to maintain two aircraft carriers deployed overseas and have three additional aircraft carriers capable of deploying within #ij days4 ,however1 the ,navy has indicated that the existing aircraft carrier force structure cannot support these military requirements4 7#g7 ,despite the requirement to maintain an aircraft carrier strike group in both the ,united ,states ,central ,command and the ,united ,states ,pacific ,command1 the ,navy has been unable to generate sufficient capacity to support combatant commanders and has developed significant carrier gaps in these critical areas4 7#h7 ,because of the continuing use of a diminished aircraft carrier force structure1 extensive maintenance availabilities result which typically exceed program costs and increase time in shipyards4 ,these expansive maintenance availabilities exacerbate existing carrier gaps4 7#i7 ,developing an alternative design to the ,ford-class aircraft carrier is not cost beneficial4 ,a smaller design is projected to incur significant design and engineering cost while significantly reducing magazine size1 carrier air wing size1 sortie rate1 and on-station effectiveness1 among other vital factors1 as compared to the ,ford-class4 ,furthermore1 a new design will delay the introduction of future aircraft carriers1 exacerbating existing carrier gaps and threatening the national security of the ,united ,states4 7#aj7 ,the #bjaf ,navy ,force ,structure ,assessment states ,a minimum of #ab aircraft carriers are required to meet the

of #dgi aircraft4 7#e7 ,the fixed-price contract for ,,kc-#df;,a calls for #agi aircraft to be delivered by #bjbh4 7#f7 ,the ,,kc-#df is a multirole platform that will bring enhanced capabilities to both the aerial refueling and strategic airlift missions4 ,the aircraft provides the ability to refuel joint and coalition aircraft by both boom and drogue systems in the same sortie2 improved cargo1 passenger and aeromedical evacuation capabilities2 and enhanced survivability with multiple layers of protection enabling it to operate safely in a broader range of threat environments than legacy tankers4 7#g7 ,the ,government ,accountability ,office has stated3 ,the ,,kc-#df program's total acquisition cost estimate remained stable over the past year at #dd1djj1jjj1jjj1 which is about

,f-#bb;,a ,block #ce fighter aircraft4 7#b7 ,converting #cd ,f-#bb;,a ,block #bj aircraft to a ,block #ce configuration would drastically improve the readiness and health of the entire ,f-#bb;,a fleet and increase flexibility to manage availability of the combat-coded ,block #ce fleet1 which is accumulating more operational flight hours than initially anticipated4 7#c7 ,making the conversions described in paragraph 7#b7 would be a cost-effective way to increase the ,f-#bb's combat-capable force by #bg percent4 7#d7 ,if the conversion effort is not included in future base budgets1 it would be advisable for the ,department of ,defense to support the effort as an unfunded priority4 7b7 ,sense of ,congress ,it is the sense of ,congress that the ,secretary of the ,air ,force should

,china's defense industry has benefitted from integration with a rapidly expanding civilian economy and science and technology sector1 particularly elements that have access to foreign technology4 ,progress within individual defense sectors appears linked to the relative integration of each1 through ,china's civilian economy1 into the global production and ,r,d chain 4 4 4 ,information technology companies in particular1 including ,huawei1 ,datang1 and ,zhongxing1 maintain close ties to the ,,pla44 7#b7 ,in a #bjaa report titled ,the ,national ,security ,implications of ,investments and ,products from the ,people's ,republic of ,china in the ,telecommunications ,sector1 the ,united ,states ,china ,commission stated that national security concerns have accompanied the dramatic growth of ,china's telecom sector4 4 4 4 ,additionally1 large ,chinese companies--particularly those national champions prominent in ,china's going out strategy of overseas expansion--are directly subject to direction by the ,chinese ,communist ,party1 to include support for ,,prc state policies and goals44 7#c7 ,the ,commission further stated in its report that from this point of view1 the clear economic benefits of foreign investment in the ,u4,s4 must be weighed against the potential security concerns related to infrastructure components coming under the control of foreign entities4 ,this seems particularly applicable in the telecommunications industry1 as ,chinese companies continue systematically to acquire significant holdings in prominent global and ,u4,s4 telecommunications and information technology companies44 7#d7 ,in its #bjaa ,annual ,report to ,congress1 the ,united ,states ,china ,commission stated that the extent of the state's control of the ,chinese economy is difficult to quantify 4 4 4 ,there is also a category of companies that1 though claiming to be private1 are subject to state influence4 ,such companies are often in new markets with no established ,,soe leaders and enjoy favorable government policies that support their development while posing obstacles to foreign competition4 ,examples include ,chinese telecoms giant ,huawei and such automotive companies as battery maker ,,byd and vehicle manufacturers ,geely and ,chery44 7#e7 ,general ,michael ,hayden1 who served as ,director of the ,central ,intelligence ,agency and ,director of

,the ,federal ,bureau of ,investigation1 in a ,february #bjae ,counterintelligence ,strategy ,partnership ,intelligence ,note stated that1 with the expanded use of ,huawei ,technologies ,inc4 equipment and services in ,u4,s4 telecommunications service provider networks1 the ,chinese ,government's potential access to ,u4,s4 business communications is dramatically increasing4 ,chinese ,government-supported telecommunications equipment on ,u4,s4 networks may be exploited through ,chinese cyber activity1 with ,china's intelligence services operating as an advanced persistent threat to ,u4,s4 networks44 7#g7 ,the ,federal ,bureau of ,investigation further stated in its ,february #bjae counterintelligence note that1 ,china makes no secret that its cyber warfare strategy is predicated on controlling global communications network infrastructure44 7#h7 ,at a hearing before the ,committee on ,armed ,services of the ,house of ,representatives on ,september #cj1 #bjae1 ,deputy ,secretary of ,defense ,robert ,work1 responding to a question about the use of ,huawei telecommunications equipment1 stated1 ,in the ,office of the ,secretary of ,defense1 absolutely not4

,telecommunication ,companies ,huawei and ,,zte released in #bjab1 it was recommended that ,u4,s4 government systems1 particularly sensitive systems1 should not include ,huawei or ,,zte equipment1 including in component parts4 ,similarly1 government contractors--particularly those working on contracts for sensitive ,u4,s4 programs--should exclude ,,zte or ,huawei equipment in their systems44 7#ac7 ,christopher ,wray1 who serves as ,director of the ,federal ,bureau of ,investigation1 stated in ,february #bjah during a hearing of the ,select ,committee on ,intelligence of the ,senate that he was deeply concerned about the risks of allowing any company or entity that is beholden to foreign governments that don't share our values to gain positions of power inside our telecommunications
