,senate 7a7 ,findings 7#a7 ,missile ,defense review ,congress finds that the #bjbb ,missile ,defense ,review found the following3 7,a7 ,since the release of the #bjai ,missile ,defense ,review1 missile-related threats have rapidly expanded in quantity1 diversity1 and sophistication4 7,b7 ,united ,states national security interests are increasingly at risk from wide-ranging missile arsenals that include offensive ballistic1 cruise1 and hypersonic weapons4 7,c7 ,in support of the homeland missile defense mission1 continued modernization and expansion of all current deployed systems with capabilities guarding against the homeland threat1 including the ,ground-based ,midcourse ,defense 7,,gmd7 system1 will remain essential to our comprehensive missile defeat approach4 ,in addition1 the ,united ,states will also continue to improve defensive capabilities to address the threat of evolving hypersonic missile1 cruise missile1 and unmanned system strikes by any adversary against the homeland4 7,d7 ,the continued evolution and progress of missiles and unmanned systems as a principal means by which adversaries seek to project conventional or nuclear military power makes missile and unmanned system defense a core deterrence-by-denial component of an integrated deterrence strategy4 7,e7 ,missile and unmanned system defense capabilities add resilience and undermine adversary confidence by introducing doubt and uncertainty into strike planning and execution1 reducing the incentive to conduct small-scale coercive attacks1 decreasing the probability of attack success1 and raising the threshold of conflict4 7,f7 ,should deterrence fail1 missile defense capabilities sufficient to negate long-range missile threats of any type are among the most critical national security capabilities for the ,united ,states4 7#b7 ,congressional ,commission on the ,strategic ,posture of the ,united ,states ,congress finds that1 in its ,october #bjbc report1 the ,congressional ,commission on the ,strategic ,posture of the ,united ,states recommended the following3 7,a7 ,the ,united ,states should develop and field homeland integrated air and missile defense 7,,iamd7 that can deter and defeat coercive attacks by ,russia and ,china1 and determine the capabilities needed to stay ahead of the ,north ,korean and ,iranian threat4 7,b7 ,the ,secretary of ,defense should direct research1 development1 test and evaluation into advanced integrated air and missile defense capabilities leveraging all domains1 including land1 sea1 air1 and space4 ,these activities should

,states1 including the territories of the ,united ,states4 7ii7 ,the military planners of the ,department of ,defense and ,united ,states ,northern ,command need to prepare for a worst-case scenario in which nuclear and other strikes are launched against the ,united ,states1 which could be done in large numbers with specialized delivery systems4 7,b7 ,in the report described in subparagraph 7,a71 the ,commission shared the same threat assessment about missile attacks as the ,commission on the ,strategic ,posture of the ,united ,states and agreed with the recommendation that the ,united ,states should enhance missile defense for the homeland4 7#d7 ,policy ,congress finds that it is the policy of the ,federal ,government that-- 7,a7 the ,federal ,government will provide for the common defense of the citizens of the ,united ,states and the ,united ,states by deploying and maintaining a next-generation missile defense shield2 7,b7 the ,federal ,government will deter and defend the citizens and critical infrastructure of the ,united ,states against any foreign attack on the ,united ,states homeland2 and 7,c7 the ,federal ,government will guarantee the secure second-strike capability of the ,federal ,government4 7b7 ,sense of the ,senate ,it is the sense of the ,senate that-- 7#a7 as the advanced long-range missile and unmanned system threat continues to evolve1 the threat of attack by ballistic1 cruise missile1 hypersonic missile1 and unmanned system remains a significant threat to the ,united ,states with potentially catastrophic consequences2 7#b7 ,china is rapidly expanding and modernizing its conventional forces to include ballistic missile systems posing an increasing threat to citizens1 forces1 and allies of the ,united ,states2 7#c7 over the past #dj years1 the sophistication and quantity of threats1 including ballistic1 hypersonic1 cruise1 and unmanned systems has become substantial2 7#d7 contending only with rogue nation threats and accidental or unauthorized missile launches is no longer sufficient in the current and reasonably foreseeable future threat environment2 7#e7 by empowering the ,united ,states with a second-strike capability1 the ,golden ,dome will deter adversaries from attacks on the homeland2 7#f7 to improve capabilities to defend adequately against increasing numbers and sophistication of threats to the homeland1 rapid development and deployment of space-based sensors and interceptors which take advantage of lower cost and technical commercial advances in recent years must be among the ,defense ,department's highest priorities2 7#g7 there is a need to fully integrate undersea1 ground1 air1 and space-based sensors1 interceptors1 and command nodes through a secure and redundant communications architecture2 7#h7 there is a need to clearly delineate and appropriately empower the leaders and agencies responsible for development1 integration1 and execution of the ,golden ,dome2 7#i7 the ,united ,states must make achieving total domain awareness1 from the seafloor to ,outer ,space to cyberspace1 to provide early warning and defeat of missile threats from both the northern and southern hemispheres across all warfighting domains a top priority2 7#aj7 a central component of ,golden ,dome will be the network and command and control systems2 7#aa7 substantial command and control and fire control capabilities exist now1 but require investment to support any ,golden ,dome reference architecture2 7#ab7 a flexible1 open-architecture approach for the ,golden ,dome will support spiral development2 7#ac7 ,golden ,dome prioritizes the defense of ,united ,states citizens in the homeland against all air and missile threats from all countries and requires prioritization of critical assets to inform the ,commander of ,united ,states ,northern ,command and the ,commander of ,united ,states ,indo-,pacific ,command2 and 7#ad7 significant additional missile defense modeling and simulation tools that measure
